When I felt the weight of the lense that fell out I’m surprise that any glue holds them in place.Quote:

Apparently the adhesive compound has been changed due to the delaminating issue.Quote:

Check your remaining plastic locking ring, if it’s smooth it had the new adhesive and caught them out.
Old mounting ring……Quote:

You've put the lines on upside down. They'll shine up into the sky[bigrolf][bigrolf]
Don.
One good thing, the latest lenses haven’t fell apart…….
Rarely do night driving on our lap however a couple of night ago I did a 6 hour stint at night while driving Perth to Adelaide.
But the lights are just too good….and as I’ve mentioned before you’re forced to dip you lights very early and spend a long time in the dark, well seems like a long time.
Most of the time I was having dip the lights 2km + from the oncoming traffic. Maybe truckies have really sensitive eyes.
I’m thinking I might try a lower wattage bulb or
Run both lights set to spread
After sitting behind others running LED, the glare off road signs looks unbearable, soooo don’t think I’ll be going that route….maybe my eye are too sensitive [emoji2369]
Switch from full to FYRLYT off, then dip to low later on.
I run that sequence for the same reason.
Both mine are always on spread.
Yes that’s what I did with my work car……Quote:

I've got a lightbar on my old, Tojo 'tilly and when I go directly from 'High' to 'Low', because of the 'tilly's low beam, it's as if I've turned the headlights off.Quote:

Now I do what Tombie suggests. I have a dedicated switch in the cab, for the lightbar, as required by Qld law. [bigwhistle][biggrin]
