Default JDM vision's leaking BAD! Can anyone help?

I have a set of JDM visions on my eg
And lately ive noticed that some water was getting in
Im not talking about a little bit of condesation
Im talking about like almost half full
I took it off this morning after it rained and it seriously looked like some pour a poland spring water bottle into my corners?!?!?!!

I tryed a couple of weeks ago to put some crazy glue around the seal but this apparently didnt work.
Im just wondering were all of this water got in because its a hell of a lot of water not just a little. I looked over the corner light and couldnt find anywhere major that the water could be coming in
ANyone ever have this problem?

thanks
-Brian

you put this around the seal?
Like where the plastic lense meets the housing?

Yeah I was wondering about the crazy glue too. You should have used silicone. I did the DIY CTR lights, and I have not experienced any condensation to this day, its been 6 months!

looks like someone's playing a joke on you! ..jk

i agree, silicone would probably be better than crazy glue.

It's a guess but maybe the crazy glue screwed up the silicone. I remember I used crazy glue on one of my plastic car model cause I ran out of model glue and it melted the **** out of it.

teh sky has been falling here in cali for about 3 days straight... good thing i have my waterproof vision knockoffs.

my car actually came with APC euro clears. there was like a 1" gap in the glue between the lense and housing. Vision = APC?

but in all seriousness, grab a tube of clear of black silicone and run a nice bead on a clean, dry surface. let the silicone dry at room temp over night. it should make a nice seal.
