Just bought new front clear corners. should i seal with silicone first? (1993 Delsol)

I just bought a set of clear corners for my 93 delsol cause the stock ones broke... im just woundering if i should seal these with silicone before i use the or should they be ok?? im asking cause i remember when i had me 1995 4dr civic the clear corners would leak all the time... one would fog up everywhere and the other would actually fill up with water when it rained... i just dont want these to fog up... the thing is though the clear corners for my old civic all the time were under $40 but the only clear corners i could find for my delsol were over $100 so im thinking maybe there better made...

if you do think i should seal them what should i use?? silicone? and where do i seal and how?? i just dont want them to fog up with condensation... i hate it...

any advice is appreiated....

thanks

I'd seal them up. It takes like 5 minutes. I hear about aftermarket light housings getting foggy all the time. Just take anything you got lying around the house and ****** it around the crack with your finger (that sounds pretty gross, but you get my point lol)

i didn't do mine, had no problems with my projectors fogging up at all and had em on for over a week now, i thought the seal was good nuff and it was, but if unsure then why not just do it..
