anyone install bimmian led sidemarkers and relize they lack the rubber gasket that the factory ones have? I have yet to install them beause it seems with the lack rubber gaskets it would allow water to enter the inside of the fenders. The bimmian ones dont seal tight to the fender and I cant see how this is not going to allow water to enter the inside. any thoughts by folks who have installed these aftermarket led fensers lights without rubber gaskets?

Coincidentally I just ordered and received a set from Trinity. My only complaint is that I wished the smoke was darker. Maybe I'll have a shop spray over another light coating to darken it up a bit more.
To clarify, I'm not complaining about Trinity whatsoever. Joe took care of me as always.

maybe I should check out swapping the gasket? It seems they fit snug but not totally tight against fender and thats where the gasket took up the slack. I dont know maybe Im over thinkin this. I just thought if water got in my inner fender that would have to suck, but you all are giving the green light and no one has had problems I on it!,,,,thanks folks
