I flush mounted mine, didn't like the looks of the weatherstriping so I removed it. I use a compressor to blow out the water after washing. I plan on drilling a hole at the bottom of the light well, but haven't yet. I will try to post a picture of it when I get home. I think it looks better without the weatherstriping.

Same story, so I removed the weather stripping (looks pretty cheap and tacky) and have had no problems. I don't worry to much about the water as the tail light units are sealed and what's to corrode? Just dry it after washing.
