I bought the recon light and it leaked worse. It would drip from the headliner.

That sucks! I hope its not the same issue with mine! I'm going to seal it with silicone before I install it and..... can't say what ill do to seal between the light and the truck yet because I haven't seen it in person..... but ill do something to to try and seal that as best as possible. But I figured screw it... the stock has issues with leaking, how bad can the aftermarket be...... btw I've just started looking at smoked led taillights, any recommendations? One of the spyder looks good but mixed reviews.... seems to be a common issue with all of them.

I tried sealing the light with silicone and found out that it would still leak through the screw holes that mount the light to the top of the cab. Regarding tail lights, I do not have any recommendations.

I've got some stuff I use for work I'm going to try to seal the screw holes with. Hopefully it works!

Is that replacing the bulbs in the stock light, or the whole fixture?
