Any reason why its popping up now rather than before? I have a spare set of taillights (with red paint) that I can throw on after sealing, but I'm tempted to just take them in to get the free gasket so I double up when I install my new ones. I'm not sure I want the dealership touching my car though...Thoughts?

Also, has anybody tried using RTV or even petroleum jelly to seal around the bulbs?

At this point I'd say just go back and read more of this thread.

I will say doubling up the gasket isn't a good idea. A single new (better) gasket (but properly sealed to the housing, unlike the factory gaskets) is a good idea, in combination with building a dam using some sticky tack, Sugru, or some other removable, flexible material to divert the flow of water.
