When mounting the WesBar Wraparound LED Tail Light part # 271594 and part # 271595 upside down there would be a drainage issue but it is not something that can't be overcome. This is because they have a drain at the bottom of the light to let the water run out after they are submerged this is generally a small notch in the lens.
So to overcome that after you have them installed remove the lens and add your own notch on what is now the bottom to allow for the same drainage. That will leave a hole on the now top that dust and such can fall down into I would place a small amount of clear silicone to prevent that.
