Smile Rick's Clear Sidemarkers

I know this has been discussed before, but my clear side markers are leaking. They're not even one month old and moisture is all over the inside. Is there anyway I can dry these myself and seal them so they don't leak anymore? I only bought Rick's because all the text was shaved off. Any help?

Both of the lenses on my Rick's sidemarkers popped off. I just ended up re-sealing them with some silicone sealant. They don't leak after doing so, but it's definitely a bit of a pain in the ass to have to fix.

Wow I'm surprised so many people are having issues with Rick's sidemarkers. I'm going to try and take mine out, and reseal them...hopefully I can find the spots where the leak is. If not, I'll just get the clear CR markers...

CR OEM are the sure fire way to go on clear side markers. i know you said they don't have writing on them or whatever. but for 20 bucks you can have assurance that they will be just fine.
