Do the lens' have to be sealed or anything or should they be good to go as they come?

 

Well, I installed them last night. I have to say, I think they look very good. Unfortunately, I don't have pics yet but will post some this weekend. The lenses come pre-sealed, and I didn't add any extra sealant, but we'll see. The only issue I have is that the passenger side signal does not match the bumper contour as well as the driver's side signal. Not sure if this is a manufacturing issue or whether the stock signals have a slight gap as well. However, it's only noticeable if you know what you're looking at.

Nice. I picked some up too since they were on sale. Love to see some pics whenever u get em. Im glad they look sharp, its unfortunate about the fit but im sure it is fixable

 

Oh, as far as the install goes, it is not necessary to remove the wheels. There are three (3) phillips head screws and a plastic pop-out screw that holds the wheel well lining in place. The liner is a little bit of a pain to get out from behind the edge of the bumper, so beware. When removing the OEM indicator, take note of the way it comes out. If you lower the end that clips in place, it will slide out very easily. During the installation, use the same angle and insert the lower end of the tab into the slot. Then, tilt the assembly up while applying pressure and it should slide in.

Can't wait to see the pics of these on the Vista blue.

 

Well there has been reports of water intrusion around
the OEM socket from the OEM gasket not sealing good
enough around the opening in the aftermarket turn
signal housing. Some say that two seals are required.
Its from bad plastic casting that slightly differs from
OEM specs.
