Question for those of you that have replaced side markers

From cursory research, I don't know that there's a single replacement side marker that doesn't leak when installed (maybe the JDM clear ones don't leak?) after a while.

This is obviously a concern for me living here in Portland, but I also really dislike the stock yellows...

Has anyone had any success with their side marker replacements given the copious amounts of rain we get in the winter?

Thanks in advance!

I'll personally find out more this coming winter. But I've swapped my side markers to the clear JDM ones since mid spring. They went through a couple rainy days and I pressure wash them when I wash my car as well. One side is also held on by double sided tape as I have the common clip problem. They're still looking great right now.

These are the corner markers I've used for the last 3 years. I've had no issues with them at all. And they actually stay in flush with the bumper.

I’ve switched mine out from smoked side markers from @86SPEED and they’ve held up over here in Seattle.
