Clearance light

[cseidel]

Has anyone drilled a small hole in the bottom of the clearance light lens so that any water that might get in it would drip out the bottom. How did it work.

Also if in the front the air pressure might fill them up with dirt/water.

We had trailer once that one light was so water tight that condensation built up. I unfolded a paper clip, held it with a vice grip pliers and heated on stove then melted a small oblong hole in the plastic creating a little tiny vent.

Wish I could of taken credit for the idea, but can't. Was before I retired, on my delivery route was Pacar (parent company for Peterbilt and Kenworth) That's what they did when some came out of mold wrong way and did vent right.

I walked around my FLAGSTAFF trailer one day and noticed both of my 8-inch scare lights where half full of water inside. A closer look I noticed the LENS with a wep hole were installed wrong. The wep hole was on the top haha... Water was getting inside the trailer though the bulb socket position... When I re-positioned the lens I use RTV around the edge to seal better from moisture getting inside. Haven't seen any water inside the lens area since then...

I imagine alot of the lens covers already have a wep hole drilled into them...
