You used red? Oh crud.

Loctite® Threadlocker Red 271™ is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration. It is only removable once cured by heating up parts to 500°F (260°C).

I added OE lights to my 04 back after new years, it was far easier than I figured it'd be..I followed the same link and it was a big help..

No Silicone for me either, and leak free, six months now
