Yeh, i know some of you are cringing already.
These things SUKK !
Question is - does anyone recall that when theirs died - did they both go out together - or maybe one shortly out after the other one ?
Or did one go out and one stay good for a while longer ?
Looking for examples.Mine went out together, or one right after the other.
They were good 2 weeks ago.
Happened to glance last night and both were dead.
Spent 2 hours getting them apart after bench testing.
One was really really tuff.
Fingertips are all sore, and left thumb took a jab from tiny srewdriver right on the tip. Didn't bleed too long. Soreness will stay a while i'm sure.
The fact they are designed non-servicable is insane.
The actual design and way the bulb is contacted is utterly Ridiculous !!! Feel free to rant as needed - lol.
I bought new bulbs (damm $5 !!! for 2 tiny bulbs ?) - but have decided to put some used ones in for a test run first - and see what happens next.
Not ever going to glue them back together and go through that hassle again. Gonna clear silicone them and then wrap tape around unexposed section.
Thinking of putting in a low amp inline fuse just before driver side assembly since they are wired parallel. If a surge took them out - i'd rather replace a fuse next time instead of the bulbs.
Now if it would just stop raining today.
