my passenger side clear corner does this also

Has a light burned out since you got your clear corners? Mine did, and caused a crack in the area where you put your bulb, which explains why you are getting water in there.

Try and use some rubber sealant, or i'm sure someone will chime in and say, but it is fixable, no need to buy new ones.

I bought clear corners from Ebay about a year ago and i have not had any problems about water getting in them, although i do have problems with water getting in my aftermarket tail lights. My clear corners were on Ebay for only about $30 and they work fine. You could try maybe finding the leak and then using a hot glue gun to seal them, i tried that with my tail lights and it kinda worked. I am sure silicone would work better though.

I've had APC clears for over a year, and still haven't had the Eurolite Xenon bulbs go out. They seal great. I think they were around $35-40 from www.carparts.com.

Take them out and let them dry then run a bead of silicone around the outside to seal them.

Good Luck,

I could just seal them before i put them on as well? wouldnt be so much of a hassle taking them on and off to seal them.
