Be sure to note the metal clip the housing screw screws into.
It's only slid/clipped over the rubber facia & can easdily be pushed off, accidentally.
SO be careful not to inadvertently push the clip off when reinstalling the lense housing!!
This happened to me on the first one.
Luckily the clip fell onto a ledge directly below the opening where I could find it (and reach it), not somewhere lower in the Corvette rearend's netherland areas.
Looks great & obviously will do as advertised, keep water out!

If there are other people who want white, send me an email and I will special order them for you.
Thanks,
Jim

Are these grey or black seals? I've got an LMB and I don't want these seals to show.
Thanks.

The seals are black...I have one extra set in white (which is a special order). They really are not noticable...Black would look best on LMB.
See ya,

I've got the car on a incline and washing it is always tricky with the "loose" water.

The seals will definitely fix the drip

Now I don't feel like such a dork knowing someone else had this happen.

I read a poster ask whether they're noticable once installed.
Let me say my '06 is VR & the seals are black.
I challenge anyone to show me where they are.
On all color cars except white they'd look as-if they came on the car and on second thought I'm thinking even on a white car they'd disappear, as well.
Looking like nothing more than a "shadow line" of the (dark) red lense, itself.

I received my order yesterday. Thank you. As a suggestion, you might want to lighten up the photos included with the instructions. The photos are so dark that I can not make out any detail. The only thing I can see in them are hands. The instructions seem clear enough, so I guess I won't need the pictures for installation.

I just thought they might want to know about the instructions. Of course we could always reference the pictures on their website:

Congratulations on the purchase of your new vette, I know you can hardly wait

Once again, sorry about the instructions being so dark. We have lightened them up.
If you have any questions during the install just give me a call.
