ANOTHER Mabett Side Marker Light post - but with a happy ending..

[Darklyter]

I know there are other Posts about these lights - regarding the water/moisture issue, so I'll keep it short and sweet.
I bought these for 50% off on Amazon. I figured they were may be a Return or old stock if a newer version was made..
** I did find 1 of them already had some 'attempt' at using black sealant on 1 edge of it (probably a return unit)..

I scraped it all off..

Concerned about the moisture/water issue from reading the other posts I took the plastic trim pieces off these to get a good look at the possible points of entry for water.. Pictures here show where I applied clear RTV Silicon - basically all around the outer edges and especially in the 2 holes that screws are used to hold the trim pieces on.. Let them cure for 2 days...

After a week of Florida afternoon thunderstorms and a car wash, there is ZERO water/moisture.. and I like the way the white/yellow contrasts against the Blue Velocity

My first set had a problem with moisture in the pass side only and I sent them a message and got another complete set. I also put some clear RTV on the new ones and after correcting a problem with the pass side light staying on after it should have turned off, (was actually a lingering voltage from the truck) they have worked without any issues. Now the problem I have is the carbon fiber center section is turning yellow from the desert suns exposure.

13 months later that yellowing has happened on the center pieces.
Holding out till these fail before I put something else 'lighted' to replace them . I guess I should start researching now. Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you want the safety of a fender mounted turn signal indicator?

There are several threads on the forum that show very simple and Indiscreet turn indicators no fancy dancing lights.

In the pass there have been others that have painted that to get rid of the stripes.
