Mine appear to be. I usually run silicone around the edges of aftermarket lenses. I've had lenses get moisture in them before, but i didn't do it to these and they're still dry.

I ran a piece of #10 solid up the A pillar and am the way to the back of the rear door under the weatherstripping. You'd never know it's there, it's stiff enough that it won't move, and I've maintained even my AM reception.

I did mine like that, tried laying the antenna down first, didn't work.

But now it's been a couple years and my fm reception has gone to crap. Looking at putting the dang stock antenna back on

Mine didn't work either. Ran the wire in the weatherstripping and thankfully it's still working.

Yea I had the wire up the a pillar for a few years. First it was great inside the city, and after about 45 mins out of town you would lose it. Now i hardly have signal in my driveway.

Just went to a scrap yard and they gave me am antenna for free lol. Perfect reception again.

Amber delete. Heat gun, but could be done with an oven, couple pocket screwdrivers, and seemed like silicone was sealing them before, so resealed with silicone. If your bulbs aren’t amber, I guess you’d want bulbs though
