Default Permanent parking lights fix and parking lights in the turn signal

My front side-markers/ parking lights did not work - water always got into them and corroded out bulb sockets. The only permanent solution to the problem i could think of was to have a "snorkel" for the lights. Silicone would only work for short time.

I bought 4 bulb sockets on ebay $3.99 shipped
I had to file its flange (widest part on that socket) just a bit all around to fit it into the sidemarker.
4pcs T10 168 194 158 Car Wedge Park Light Bulb Socket 2935 | eBay

Snorkel - flexible soft rubber hose- founded at home - used half for each light.
Routed from behind the headlight to the parking light, and fits tightly over parking light housing- no more water.


spliced in new light socket


Hose was able to stretch over light housing and fits very tight


I closed in the other end of hose that comes up behind the headlight to prevent water getting in.
Also spliced in extra wires to add parking light in to my turning signal.


Used 1/2 in drill and made hole in turn signal light for light socket -


final result - i always hated the way it looked without turn light lit up at night
