how do i keep water out of my backup bumper lights

[AeR0]

just replaced my rear bumper back up lights since they got ruined from water getting in them, ive read to put duct tape on them but where??

Hmm i never had a problem with water getting in my back up lights:???:

You can maybe put some silicon around the socket or maybe get it molded?

[AeR0]

like where the bulb plugs in or where the light edge is flush with the bumper?

I'm thinking where the bulb plugs in.

[AeR0]

yeah?

its seems pretty sealed to me though?

I got some thick plastic and taped it over the hole from the inside of the bumper. You could also use some sort of plastic cap like on a Pringles can if it's big enough.

It keeps water and dirt from the rear tire from getting in. RTV around the socket keeps water out of the housing.

so basically u gotta remove the tape and plastic to change the bulb?

anyway u could get my a pic to show me better?

what if i sprayed some monofoam in there and made it so only the bulb comes out?
