Caulking clearance lights
Done a search no luck. What type of Caulk to use on Clearance Lights. Thanks Roy

- It's not the exterior you need to seal but the hole behind the light for the power wires. Completely remove the light and use plumbers putty or similar material to create a seal the wires pass thru. Also goop on sealant such as caulk to the threads of the hardware that hold the light in place.
- I used clear silicone which Newmar had used originally!
- I used double sided EternaBond tape when I changed our TTs clearance lights to LED ones.
- I've used this for years on my RV. Waterproof under water.
It works. no ultraviolet degradation. - Dicor or Proflex on tops and sides only
- I sealed around mine with clear silicone sealant
- I use plumbers putty. Since I know I will have to open them to change the bulbs I wanted something that would seal well but be easily removed. In the first few months of owning our latest coach I must have changed 3. In the last year I haven't changed any.
- Clear urethane works the best. I also changed out all of my older incandescent clearance lights for SEALED LED clearance lights so that I did not have to worry about water leaking around the removeable lens.
