Question:
What kind of sealant should I use when installing these clearance lights on the side of an aluminum skinned cargo trailer? Is the foam gasket sufficient? Here is an existing one from the factory, and I plan to add 6 more. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The light itself, # MCL13CA2B, is sealed so no worries of moisture getting into it. For the holes in the trailer to mount the light you could go with a silicone sealant such as # LT37467 which would be better than the foam gasket, # A13G2B. A combination of the gasket and silicone around the mounting holes and using the trim ring, # A13C2B, would be the best solution.
