Hmmmm, those look good! What do you guys think? I always have to vacuum out the water from my tail lights after washing. Should we all get them?

No need to spend that kind of money. I got the exact same seals from Lowe's. It's 1/4" teardrop weatherstripping with an adhesive that sticks to the taillight. A roll long enough to do probably 3-4 cars costs about $15.
