Leaky EZ-Loader LEDs

Perdido,
Can you tell where the problem is? My first pair were so bad I couldn't make heads or tails. The backs were cracked so I assume that is what happened. I was thinking of using sealant around the joints and wire connections to make them last 2 years instead of 6 months. The temp lights I put on work great but don't fit so well. They trap air in the lense keeping the water out. Got them at WalMart. Been using them all Spring with no problem. Still waiting on replacements.

My personal thoughts are the bolts coming out the back of the lights cause stress cracks in the black plastic housing letting water inside.I tried to back mine with washers etc. to broaden the stress plus use "o" rings between the light and trailer to ease the hammer effect while on the road.
I was never told what was done to the "new improved"light.
I would stick to the Wal-Mart units until they failed although they may not be legal for 8 foot wide trailers.

Like the pipe lights but I don't have anything to attach them to.
I did get the new lights in today. They no longer have the bolts go through the back of the unit. There is a groove on the back of the light that the ends of the bolts slide into from the bottom. Also, the light wires no longer dissapear into the unit. They have a male connector that connects to the female connectors built into the back of the panel in the rear. And you won't believe this but they even put silicone greese to keep out moisture in between the connections. (Not nearly enough, but the effort is worth noting)
