- a light-source housing comprising at least one aperture and at least one light source disposed internally thereof, said light-source housing being configured to be moveably received through said opening such that a portion of said light-source housing comprising said at least one aperture is normally protruding above said top surface and can be lowered into the road marker housing upon the application of a downward pressure,
- a resilient seal having a central cavity, a bottom annular portion and a top hollow tapering portion, and wherein:
- (i) said central cavity being configured to receive said light-source housing;
- (ii) said bottom annular portion being configured to seal a coupling between the top surface of the road marker housing and the descending light source housing;
