Fyrlyt reflectors are hard coated so wont go black anyway..

you can disassemble the fyrlyts to wipe the reflector????

You can pull the whole light to bits. Every part is available as a spare. You can now buy soft covers for them If you think the lens needs protecting. ( it doesn't)
Lyts for life.

No light should be pressure washed. My bet is that's how the water got in. If you remove the front lens or globe holder you must take care not to twist the seals when you reinstall them

Should the oring.seal be lubricated (silicon grease)? I know that it'll attract dust potentially but without it can pick up and stretch or tear.

I would use a dry lube stick. Same as you use on seat rails and window regs. Won't attract dirt and dust like a wet lube.

Except its exactly NOT what Fyrlyt recommend....

The wet lube adds dynamic sealing - a benefit

So silicon grease? I only ask as mine were bone dry from new.

Don't forget to pass on my number if someone is jealous of his lights and wants a pair.

At present I am deciding between yours and the greatwhites.

I am curious as to the colour difference of yours though? My previous expereince of hella and other halogen driving lights lends to their not being overly "white"

Dumb question perhaps
