Post by: muddysteve on April 06, 2008, 18:48:57

Are you running non standard bulbs, such as 100 watt?

Try headlamp protectors.... that would keep anything cold from directly touching the hot lens :-.

These (http://www.devon4x4.com/component/option,com_shop/Itemid,67/sitelang,en/mode,productview/product,298/cat,42/showcaticons,no) are plastic, but very strong
They've survived for over a year on our competition 90  ;)

I don;t know, I noticed it one day.  Now it lets water in so it'll be getting swapped soon.
