I have had the sti rear lights fitted on my RB5 but have had water leaking in to the boot since.

When they were fitted a silicon sealant was splurted all round the rear part of the unit but water still seems to be getting in.

Does anyone know what the original stuff used is called or what it is as i want to use this

alternatively any advice from any1 who has had similar probs or fitted them to stop this dam water leaking in and making a nice pool in my spare wheel bay

Check round the square part of the car body (inside the boot where the back of the light is) this is where the water will come in. You could go round this again with some silicone as they might have missed some.

Also make sure it's not coming through where the rear spoiler fits to the boot?, just a thought because there is four holes on the boot lid that could poss let water in, maybe you've had a new spoiler or yours is now leaking?
