yeah, i have those.. you cant really see them, but they are there..

the light gaskets go behind the lights, above, and down the side.. rear lights dont really let much water in because they only have TINY holes for the wires and bolts to go in. boot seal is a more likley candidate.

Ever tried "quickly" changing a bulb on the Camaro's rear lights ?

I don't know what it's like on the 3rd gen, but on mine you have to undo 6 large plastic butterfly nuts to remove the entire cluster from the body.

Yup. Same on a third gen . . .

Are we still talking about changing light bulbs?

, the speed in the chavscort must be something to do with the quality of the clientell it attracts, whereas in the astro you get more room, In a 3rd gen its a bit of a acrobatic challenge...

Not such a problem for Philo, being short n'all. I guess it depends on who's "helping him change the bulbs"
