Title: Headlights full of water
Post by: Evilgoat on December 19, 2007, 14:42:37

Any suggestions to stop this, I'm going through headlight bulbs because of it like there is no tomorrow :S

I and currently thinking of having the units out and drilling drain holes, obviously, this is a double edged sword.

goldfish bowl for a headlight. yep had that before from billing . they were useless after so replacement was the answer. hole works well but cleaning the inside of the light takes some doing.

two things i did after the billing bash was
1= change the rubbers around the side light bulbs
2=cable ties on the main bulb rubbers
3= then put some masic around the joint between the main glass and backing
tuch wood ok so far even though they do need replacing due to mud in them

What? Any chance you can translate this into English so us mere mortals can understand what you're trying to say?

No, actually, don't bother. I haven't read anything you've had to say that's worth listening to yet and I don't suppose this will be any different.
