Sealing LED side mirror lenses?

I purchased these as a replacement for the Fugly orange reflectors on front of the mirrors. I feel like I should seal the back more to keep dirt and water out. What would I use? I'm guessing just some sort of water proof epoxy.

You could. Wouldn't hurt. But I bet they are sealed pretty well from the manufacturer.

How do they hook up & how expensive were they?

^^^ RTV or epoxy.

Doesn't really matter as, they'll likely burn out before they'll suffer water damage. Anzo makes absolute junk, like Recon and so many other Cheap Chinglish crappola.

Coulda just done this instead: https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...ow-w-pics.html

My condolences.....

Yea if I get a year out of them Ill be fine with it. They are still great replacements and are smoked to they wont stand out as much.

For installing they simply splice into the mirror turn signals.

Thanks for the link.. just did mine. I had some short LED strips laying around I Was trying to decide what to do with... Tool box/bed lights, puddle lights.... Decided I'd do this w/ them instead since they were kinda short to begin with.
