i just got some depot diamond clear side markers.when i wash my car,water goes up into them from the drain hole in the bottom.
can i seal off this hole,or will it create more problems?i dont want the water to stain the inside of the lens.my regular apc clears i had on there didnt have holes.

My new clear corners are sealed, i got them from Mustangs Unlimited. They arn't on the car yet though.

I would say it's ok to seal them up aslong as there is no moisture trapped inside..

Stock, they have a drain hole though... tough call i guess.

I would think the drain hole would be benificial to drain any possible moisture plus help vent some excess heat so you don't blow a bulb. Try to figure another way to keep out the water. How about hooking up a small diameter hose to it that drains as close to straight down as you can? Hope that helps
