Do you just put some silicone around the light, and press the rubber seal into it, or is there a special sealer that is used for this purpose? Epoxy? Etc?

Thanks

I'd use a silicone-based adhesive that stays flexible and won't dry-out the rubber. That, or weatherstripping adhesive (but its yellow, IIRC). Epoxy may work too, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

haha...i use RTV everytime it comes off my drivers side light....

I knocked it off once when it got stuck in the sponge when I was washing my car, has worked fine other than that.
