    What do you guys do to keep water from collecting inside the front turn signal housings? Mine are about 1/4 full at the moment. I think I'll drain it into a bottle and sell it as blinker fluid.

    Shouldn't be getting water in there if you have the proper gasket to seal it. Can use a proper sized "O" ring if missing gasket.

    I would make a rubber gasket for the top half and file a little notch in the bottom as a drain.

    I bought 1/8" Cork gasket material and cut new gaskets for mine with an Xacto knife. Good Luck
