Clearance light
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.

- 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...

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