Most of the lights I have seen all have these kinds of design problems. I think a ten year old kid could do a better design. I caulk all mine with ProFlex RV.
x2. True, but a weep hole or two is necessary to prevent build up of leaking water therefore I'll drill holes on the bottom of the lamps.
As an additional precaution I applied a square of Eternabond tape to cover the large hole in the siding after making a slit for the wiring. Also put tape over the screw holes as a seal before inserting the screws. In other words - all points of water entry into the wall were sealed off, hopefully. :D
I agree they need to drain. I usaly use my dramel and make a couple in the bottom. And often claulk the ones on the side when I caulk the light. A complete seal seals water in. You need some place for it to drain out even on the front of the motorhome. Not always the easiest thing to talk your self into.
