condensation in clearence lights

Hello Happy Campers, I am looking to replace my front roof mounted clearance lights on my 2016 Vegas. Maybe a Led unit. I have taken them apart several times and resealed only to find water in them again. If anyone has had this issue and found a suitable replacement, I thank you for your recommendation.
Thank You,
Chuck

Mine looked just like yours,…wet & rusty

I replaced with these in June-2021.
It was a tough job
- removing old ones
- cleaning off roof
- filling old holes with epoxy or butyl
- splicing new ones
- mounting with new holes & sealing properly

That said, I don’t expect I’ll ever need to replace again as long as I own this rig.

Marker light replacement

Hey I appreciate you both providing me with a soluiton. I am looking at the etrailer teardrop marker light because it measures exact to my old lights. I will try and find a amber 194 led replacement for the new housings. I am not looking forward to the removal of the glue/caulk/silicone sealant the factory used. And I hope I get it sealed up to where ther are not any leaks. Thanks again and safe journey to you guys!
Chuck

I changed out all the outside lights on our vegas before I traded it in. I could never find the running lights in LED.
