These things have been nothing short of a FULL ON PITA since I bought them....

First set split the mounts for no reason I can think of....Dealer replaced them on a goodwill...

Next set...screws wouldn't stay, they fell apart, I fixed them, and now a bulb is blown....

Because the damned things wouldn't stay together, I RTV siliconed them the last time I fixed them.....

Now, as I went to change the bulb, the lens fell to the floor and broke into approx. 1 million pieces....

Unless anyone has one of these lenses lying around, I'm gonna have to re-think my lighting needs...

I'm open to suggestions...

As a HD tech, I'll be the FIRST to admit that MANY HD accessories SUCK.....poorly made.....

I couldn't be happier with my PIAA dichroic lamps. Of course, I haven't yet had to pay for replacement bulbs.

These (http://www.kuryakyn.com/category.asp?bn=harley&cn=Lighting&sn=Silver+Bullets) have treated me very well, large halogen bullets, bottom left.

Chuck,

I had the very same problems with mine and took them off. PM me your address and I will send you my lenses.
