Since DDM Tuning is absolutely no help in fixing this issue (I emailed them to ask about why one of my headlights was leaking so badly and was told 'water damage' is not covered by warranty :rm_thumbdown:, even though the damage is due to their wiring. Why have a seal around the bulb if the bulb wiring is not sealed :rollfinger
, I thought I would share with everyone what I have discovered.
While I have seen a couple of people talk about doubling up the seals on the bulbs, it did not fix the issue for me. I had to order a replacement bulb because mine was so muddy and dirty. When my new bulbs arrived (I ordered two), I water tested them in the housing (I had the housing out to clean it.) I sprayed water all over the seal itself and it never leaked. BUT, when I sprayed water in the area between the wires (see pic), it leaked like a faucet inside the housing. Guess what - thats exactly where your tires throw mud and water when you are out riding.
I am going to put some caulk inside that plastic to hopefully seal things up (once it all dries back out) and see if that addresses the leaks.
