So one of the days after I got the smoked tails on it rained and I noticed some water leaked through them. On KSpec dot com it says that the lenses should be silicone sealed to prevent water leakage. Does that mean it should be sealed if it REPLACES the lense cover, or if youre overlaying them? Also, will any body shop do silicone sealing?

I think they should be installed instead of OEM lens.

And shops shoud do it, it's not hard.

I agree. I hope they dont charge me out the ass for sealing though.

Try doing it yourself. You can buy silicon sealant and seal it. It's pretty easy.
