Default Check the clearance lights.

I am changing my coach over to all LED lighting. I noticed that the clearance lights that had been sealed at the factory looked like the sealant was cracked and dried. So I popped them of, cleaned them up and resealed them and reinstalled. I didn't have trouble at the rear but I did have a leak on the drivers side front clearance light. Now they just leaked around the screws and filled the lenses up to the point that it could reach the bulb and leak into the coach. This was happening in the rain and got worst if you were driving in the rain. I changed the entire fixture on each of the five front clearance lights. They are sealed LED units that shouldn't leak like the others. Hard to explain but thew bases seal to the roof and then the lenses fit with a screw but not so tight as to seal. This will allow any intruding water to evaporate instead of growing green slime.
