Third Brake Leak

Hey guys, I recently replaced my third brake light and found that it leaks slightly. I would like to fix the problem before it gets bad. I am just curious if anyone knows where I can get some of the weatherstripping to go around it? Only half of it leaks and that is the same side that has a crappy seal with the weatherstrip.

Ok you need to describe or write it better or pictures lol
Because I dont understand how light is leaking, water operated lights? Lol

On the other hand you should just hand tight the screws enough that water should not go in.

Sorry, it leaks water when it rains. It not a matter of just tightening it because it only leaks on one side of the light. That side is missing some of the weatherproof strip that was there from the factory. I am trying to find a new weatherproof strip

Should be able to find any weatherstrip in the autoparts or use silicone to cover it.

Take it off and silicon it. Will probably be better than the weather striping anyway. Do u actually take the light off to get at the bulb? Cause u don't have to do that.

Well, I put an entirely new light in. The new one didn't come with any weather protection and the old stuff is really bad and worn.
