    Help with LWB front turn signal seals

    As the title says.....need help.

    1) Is there an inside or outside (left vs right seal)?
    They look pretty similar looking on both sides....but there is a subtle difference.

    2) Do these seals need to be glued into the housings before installing the light housing/seal assembly.
    Seems like they really don't want to just sit on the housing nice and friendly like.
    Keep popping off.
    I was thinking about using 3M trim adhesive when the time comes to do the gluing.


    Any tips on these guys would be greatly appreciated.

    My original seals were like granite, so thought I'd install some new pliable ones.
    Thanks

    Yes, there is a right and a left so that means there is an inside and an outside.

    Yes, we use adhesive to attach the seals to the housing. We're partial to Wurth (https://www.autogeek.net/wusuwead.html) but the 3m weatherstrip (not trim adhesive) stuff should also be fine.
