[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 913451, member: 18388"] The waterproofness is dependent on the integrity of the o-ring seal. The lens is the weak point, IMHO. Mine had lenses hand ground (I assume variation here) with a slight bevel somewhat uneven, and the o-ring is quite thin. If the front cap is anything but full tight, they are not waterproof. I found mine a bit loose after riding a few thousand miles, so best insure they are tight from time to time. I had condensation plus some pooling of water at the bottom. I'm making an assumption that enough water will fill up until it either shorts an LED or the driver circuit board inside the unit. When I get to winter maintenance I am going to investigate further.... hopefully I can take measures to prevent any further water damage. [/QUOTE]
