Alright, I don't usually answer questions about the lights but here goes...

1) I didn't use any glue to seal them back up. All I did was soften up the existing adhesive in the oven and then pop the lenses back on and smoosh them down. Don't forget to screw them in from the rear as well. Be careful or you'll break them!

2) No, no water leaks as of yet and the car has been through the worst downpours S. FL can dish out.

3) The tail/stop units are 3x5 and the signals are 6x2. Yes, the signals are LED and they own! Still have to fix the hyper-flashing issue but the car is still at the shop getting the RB25 wired up so I haven't had access. BTW, I used one 6x2 array for my signals and in retrospect I wish I'd used 2 per side so consider that.
