Yes u need the tail light seal! dont drill into ur car or use dodgy silicon!
lol jimmeh is selling the OEM left hand side tail light for $20.
n ive got the OEM right hand side with the 2 FOAM SEALS U NEED for both sides :thumbsup:
if u want a brand new seal - part number is 33503-s03-003 but they go for 20-30 a each! lol

seals dont do nuffin.. ive put silicone behind my clear taillights in every way possible where water can get in, plus the foam seal padding u get like behind the oem lights, n yet water goes inside it (only on right side though). The left hand side i didnt even seal any gap or nuffin n no water goes through, theyre aftermarket so theyre just originally made of cheap build, not much u can do..

ooooohhh it goes inside your car? I thought you meant inside your tail light. Umm yeah the factory lights come with this rubbery seal thing that fits behind the light to make a seal. You could prolly get some from a wreckers pretty cheap, or from honda themselves. The original honda seal should fit your new tail lights and should be easy to come around.

yeah as the foam seals get old, they go all hard and crack due to the dirt n water it collects and dont seal as effectively like wen new

da reason that it would be leaking is because you either have no gaskets between the lights and the boot or very cheap ones. i may have a spare pair lying around somewhere i will let you know if i do

well if they are in good order and working properly then your problem is somewhere else? I dont really see how healthy gaskets couldnt work, unless theyre attached incorrectly. There is a definate way they go in and you tail lights may not be on tight enough.

i used brand new seals with my clear lights n i got water in em still... it jus all depends on how good the make is

*also with the seals u could jus simply get the same material n trace n cut it out from the original , it will do the same thing
