Anyone reading that's no longer under warranty it might be an option if you're leaking.

If the dealer gooped mine up like that I would not be too happy.
FYI: here's the link to the gasket on eBay.

Default Marine sealant

I used marine aquarium sealant on mine, and it works great. i had an aftermarket 3rd light that was catching water, and went back to my original 3rd light (blacked out), but treated it with marine grade aquarium sealant. Have used this as well when I replaced the reflectors in the side mirrors with blacked out LED's, that had the circuit board exposed. Works great so far. Got it at Lows for less than 5.00 for the tube

These have been leaking since before 1999.
Very easy fixes are available that do not glue them in place.
* Buy the Ebay gasket
* Get some weather stripping from a hardware store and make your own gasket
* Dress the gasket area with a thin bead of silicon. Let dry before putting light in place
* Let the dealer fix it. Hope they do it properly
