if your worried about condensation...take your old ones out and replace the bulbs with 194 LED bulb type. You can find the LED at amazon.

I have the ones from Trinity right now and one is taking on condensation. That is the reason I am looking for some with the rubber gasket.

Ooops!
Did you say CONDENSATION on the Trinity Sidemarkers.

I have my clear LED side markers from Trinity 2, Spring is here and I dont see them condense, I hope they dont condense in the future but just to be safe I have my OEM's with LED 194 bulbs

The problem with using the 194 is that it is focused to the center,
by that I mean to say that it is only very bright when you are looking at it directly (In line)
The LED's from trinity are bright no matter what angle you look at them since there are 3 leds in it facing Front Middle and Back directions.

Got them from Pinguhk. It's a 12v8w white side marker bulb. It's imported from Japan, but I heard the Philips one works well also, but not as bright...

I persoanlly got ripped off by their LED turn signal bulbs w/resistors - so don't waste ur time getting those.

I need to get some better ones from

Motorcepts.
