Looking at my broken center section right now(damn stereo thieves!). Take it off bring it inside to dry, then try resealing it with some sort of glue, on mine looks like the bottom isnt sealed all the way. I think ATV with a THIN bead might do the trick, just make sure that the waters all out before you seal it.

BTW, anyone have an extra center section looking to get rid of PM me

Wow, I didnt realize you had the diff lights on your car. I guess you could probally seperate em, never seen those kind off the car, so I dont know for sure. I believe redraif took apart her taillights and succesfully got them back together, but she had the normal ones. Arent those rare, or at least hard to find used to buy

Best bet, take em off the car totally, fill them with water, if no water leaks out, then you have to make the connection around the light sockets tighter, try some rubber gasket material, wouldnt use liquid crap on the sockets, might make it messy/pain to change the bulbs when need be.

Good luck
