Came home today and the fed ex man dropped off some lights for me! Might try and hook em up this weekend just depend on what my schedule looks like! They're pretty nice for an eBay special I think I payed like 35 shipped for them so not too bad! With the foam pads they supply should I add silicon to the lights on the pads or how should I go about sealing them?

I'm thinking about going with smoke to replace the clear lights that I have... Can't wait to see them installed!

I installed mine 'dry'. I did get longer Stainless Steel sheet metal screws (since I wasn't going to get the factory plastic inserts, then screw into those).

Make sure you get SS screws though!

Had mine on for over 2 years, no leaks.

Dry as in no sili or any of that? I will probably get some better screws anyway just because the ones that came with the kit probably aren't the best. Would anyone know if the dealership would sell te paper templates that come with the actual mopar ones?

I would install them without silicone, and add a few small dabs on the inside.

I probably will just do that to make sure water doesn't get in the wiring or anything like that a buddy of mine got a similar kit and said the foam pads seal pretty well so I'll probably just bank on that.
