Did they get water in them and the reflectors turn black?
Try Lightforce, but they will prob want to sell you replacements.
Try a chrome plating shop that does rechroming of plastic parts, they might be able to help out.

Give light force a call they may replace thier customer service has been beyond the call of duty.

eqfisho Yes they got water in them. I spoke to a stockist today and they quoted 140 each to replace the reflectors.
MacMan How much can you get them for?
Mine have breather tubes on the back which the 4WD place said they had never seen before. The breathers just end in the engine bay??

<span style="color:blue">its a good idea to fit el-cheapo plastic fuel filters to breathers...
and to have the open end pointing down.....
and if the fuel filters are used they apparently work better.......</span>

Prob is they were on the vehicle when I bought them. I don't know how old they are. I will try Light force for help anyway.
Zook thanks I will do this when I have them sorted.

Edd,
Do you recollect the occasion when the lights took in water: were they on at the time?

Yes that is when it happened. Bicause I had seen the breathers off the back I wasn't worried about them going under until after that event. Now I know!

What size do you need?
We can source the 140s, 170s and 240s no problem.
Works out to be about $45 each for the 140s, $64 for the 170s and $83 240.
At $140 each, you'd be wanting a cooked dinner and dessert!
Send me a PM if you want to know anything more or go ahead with it - not really wanting to get in poop for advertising the business on here.

I got a reply from lightforce today saying I would need to send them back for a warranty claim. They have invited me to call them to discuss it. Now I just need to know how long their warranty lasts for.

MacMan: $45 ea? I'll have two please, can you do this?
PM me or email to <awvv2477@bigpond.net.au>

Are we talking about reflectors or the whole light? If the latter I need a bigger roof rack!

My mate with no taste (Land Bruiser driver) purchased a set of 240 Blitz 2nd hand a year ago.
They are the original style with the screws holding the lens to the cover and both leaked within a week of fitting them and turned black.
Lightforce swapped them both over for the new Waterproof versions at NO COST including removing the old ones and fitting the new ones to his vehicle in the carpark.
Lightforce are definately brilliant in regards to warranty.
And on a side note, I've submersed the front 4 lights - switched on - after hours of running with no worries, the new generation with inbuilt breathers are the ducks nutz.

I'd never use another brand again :wink:

Spoke with them today https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Apparently there was a problem with the style I have and they did leak. Have been told to send them back at their expense and they will assess them and probably replace with the new model :twisted: :twisted: .
The guy also told me that if I thought mine were good I wouldn't beleive the new ones. 8O
