And then he said - Let there be light!

When doing the radiator, I noticed the headlights had some water in them.


As you can see, they are H4 upgrades, but obviously done some time ago.  The seals had dried up and was allowing water to enter the bulb.

I tried to clean them up, and silicone them sealed.  Cleaning the lens was easy, but the backing of the bulb had a reflective coating that was wearing off, and my wiping off did not help.

Only one way to go - time for some new ones.

I procured a pair of new Hella H4's from a parts source and went to install a few days later.

Holy smokes, what a difference!
