Now, why would I even think of fitting something to risk that or to fit it incorrectly, after all the more difficult mods I made to my car in 20 years and still never a problem?
Actually, it's well known, this inner light on the non Lci E70 is prone to let water in, due to badly design sealant. This one is from an Lci, so already has the upgraded with a gasket. Practically impossible for any water to get through! Furthermore, water would then have to travel a hell of a long way through the harness into the battery compartment!
Nope, if water hasn't got in in 20+ years, it's not going to get in now. Hehe
Tbh, I may not fit them at all. Don't like the way it goes together with the outer light! I was just curious if it fitted. It does, but needs some work.
Still think it would look better than some E70 guys who fitted the Lci inner light to a non Lci outer!

Wow. Make a simple observation and get a dissertation.
