Ok guys and gals, I just installed my clear light lenses. Everything went pretty quick, on and off in about 20 mins or less.

I ran into a problem with the small lights however. When I put them in and rotated them to the direction to lock them, both of them engaged into the lock position but then became loose. They did lock in that position and could not go any further. However, they are loose and I am worried about moisture etc being an issue. I can turn them about 1/2 way from locking and they are pretty snug and would probably stay like that but I am a bit cautious. Any of you have this experience before? Any fix for it? I still need my stealth bulbs before I get pulled over for having nothing but white lights all up front (looks like quad fogs lmao) which I know where I can get some local.

Any info, fixits etc. are helpful at this point. I was even thinking about some silicon based glue... ?? Kinda stuck on ideas at this point to seal it and make it tight.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about.  I ran into that same problem with my smoked lenses.  You don't have to worry about moisture getting into there.  I worried about the same thing, and here in socal, we had a rain period of 3-4 months, and never had any water get in.  It only came undone once, from the time I ordered them (Oct '07) to now, and that's even with me driving on bumpy rocky roads (cause of where I work).  You can use the silicone sealant if you want.  But just know that everytime you need to change the bulbs even though it won't be often, you'll have to scrape the sealant off and re-apply new sealant.  But like I said, you won't change out the bulbs that often, so it probably wouldn't be a bother to you.

Thx bronx bomb for the info! LMAO I just got a spare peice of 3m body panel tape (talking a relatively small peice) and put it on both sides for the smaller bulbs on each and it worked like a charm. It will not twist or come out at all and is pretty damn tight. No one is gonna look under there anytime soon except for me so i'm good! Glad I had that stuff laying around. My next choice was going to be duct tape... jk lmao.
