[QUOTE="qkslver, post: 301668, member: 292"] Baja should have my lights tomorrow (9-11). Jayce stated that as soon as he recieved my lights he would send out new lights to me. He offered no explanation for the problem nor if any `fix' has been made to the new set? I explained to Jayce I had taked them apart to dry the water out and he was fine with that. However he wanted the lights returned as is, with no clean-up. Here is my story" Three days after the rain from hell, I still had moisture in both lens. So much so that both reflectors had water spots on them. The reason the moisture had not been evaporated from the bulb heat was the rain had also fried both relays, located in left front fairing. At the checkpoint in St. L. I changed both relays and the lights worked. Upon disassembling the lights to remove the moisture in the lens/reflector a large amount of water poured from the housing`s. This may have been the best light show any one has ever seen had the relays not quit? I did not have the time to investgate the source for the leak at that time. They worked great the rest of the rally. Now if the rider had worked as well as the lights--------- Rick Martin Pontiac, IL. [/QUOTE]
