Default Flush mount Led tailights???

I was just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with flush mounting the new led tailights. I've just ordered a set of black cherry's from corvette enhancements and wanted to do a little research on doing this.Also, do the tailight seals from southern car parts work to seal them up??I have the little spacer blocks sold by WCC on my stock lights but no seals. Anyone/?

I dont have flush mounts or LEDs, but I would have to say that the seals are "OVERRATED". I sealed mine and I still get the same dirt/dust buildup as I got before.

I had that dirt buildup issue untill I flush mounted the lights. I actuall did have seals installed but not correctly.So they still dripped. I am thinking about trying the seals from southern car parts advetised here on the forum with the new led lights and spacer blocks.

there's no reason why you cannot flush the LED tails.
