I need to change some bulbs, I have heard the 968 rear lights have a seal / gasket-type material behind them. Looking on Google it appears I need butyl strip caulk or similar. So I wanted to ask if anyone changed-out their rear lights recently and if so what did you use as a seal, and where was if from?

Thanks, Matt

968 rear lights are out side of the body

Only a dust seal on the mounting bolt

I used butyl strip on my 944 lights. Cannot comment on how they're fitted on a 968 but it worked perfectly on my '44 and sealed them.

I used https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CQNC8ZY? ... E_DDE_dt_1

Cheers!
