AAC sidemarker lights.......sealed mine.....Video
This is what I did.
The water actually was probably getting in on the corners of the lights and not on the connector more likely. I'd seal them both just in case. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf8XQ8B6QAs |
Is water build-up typical of these side markers? Because I was thinking of getting these.
|
It's been an issue with some. But AAC has taken good care. Just a pita to have to go through. It's really easy to just run a bean of sealer on them.
|
OK... I like it... but.... does it void the warranty......
I've got one being replaced under warranty right now for that exact issue... If I can save the "pita" of sending the next one in when it fails.... It would make me happy. (ps... maybe you should put an application in at AAC!) |
i have 1 that has multiple burnouts within a month old..aac was quik to send me a warranty claim and i will send back...but i noticed that moisture got inside this 1 and within 24 hrs, led was burned out..could be a coicidnce..but i don,t believe it was...if aac can somehow fix this problem , there time spent handling these claims would dimenish...i have not really looked into where it may leak ..but might pull light today and check out, since its being returned..

I think its so weird that people keep having issues with these. I've had mine for almost a year and they've been perfect.

i thought i just had moisture, when removing the 1 , it had at least a spoonful of water in it.. def leaking around the seams...reason i say this ....with bulb still in i could shake /flick light assy in my hand and would get 3-4 drops from corner of light...not from bulb area...did this for 5 minutes and water still came out from same area...not back of light assy where bulb installs..that was dry as bone... imo.. but will seal everything on the next one.

And, Mike, I just looked REALLY closely at the two bad lights and they both have voids straight to the indside. Both had a ton of water in them. The very corners are where they were not sealed that well. |

Crap. Do I need to peel it off and redo it? |
