Headlight keeps blowing out in rainy weather

Haven't have that problem. I've taken my car through the car wash five or six times no water and you have to make sure that the rubber Is sealed behind the light.

I have not had one problem with my headlights,but,I ordered two brand new replacements from AMazon a year ago.Annette B. doesn't say if they are new or older ones she is inquiring about.I have spoken to one other person who had the same problem,but with older headlight assembly's and she sprayed an adhesive in a can she got at a hardware store on the backside of the assembly and she hasn't had any further problems with her bulbs shooting out.Spray lightly though or you will get your bulbs stuck,and they won't be easily gotten out if you do need to replace one.

My problem was the lense!s from the sun were all cloudy and was not getting lite on the road so i replaced the lenses. Mine was not an electrical problem

Yes, just be sure that the bulb is not exposed directly to the rain. Ideally, it needs to be behind a screen or in an enclosed fixture. If the bulb gets submerged in water, there is a chance it might not keep functioning. You can check this PAR30, it's more intended for outdoor applications, and this one is really of high quality: Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 4) 12-Watt (75-Watt) PAR30 LED Flood Light Bulb, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

The fixture has been outside installed for about 45 days. We used one of the new LED bulbs(about $30.00 at the home centers). The base was sealed at installation. I can think of at least six rainy,windy days. We have not encountered any problems with moisture or bugs.

The electronics in the throttle are not potted. I had issues, stuttering & surges, after a rainstorm. After 10 minutes or so it dried out, & returned to normal function. Try to keep your throttle dry. The other potential problem is that the 3 phase power leads & hall effect sensor wires enter the hub motor thru the hollow axle, the last 1/2 inch or so of the hollow axle is slotted forming a U channel so that the wires exit the side rather then the end of the axle, which does help to protect the wires in the event the bike were to be dropped. The problem is Prodeco mounts the U channel facing up so what rain can enter the motor housing. If the wiring harness of the axle was longer, the axle could be installed with that U channel down with a proper drip loop for the wires.

it would be cheaper to replace it / go to auto sterio store and buy a role of lights , hope it helps

I only got caught in the rain once. I put the battery pack inside my messenger bag and had the light on my basket. No problems. Dried it off when I got home.

I bought this light about this time last year. It's been on the boat, outdoors in a rainy, wet environment and it has moisture trapped inside. Light still works. It only shows as an all around 360 white light. Doesn't function as a 225.

I've had mine in for about 3 months, through heavy SC downpours and the truck gets washed once a week and I've had no problems. I did put a strip of clear silicone around the edges prior to install. But I do that with all aftermarket lighting.

I can not answer your question. When I got my part is was soaking wet and had been raining. The instructions if any came with it were missing or non existant. I found the wiring schematic online, but could only get the light to come on. I would recommend looking for a better quality part. you could have a different experience.

I don't know how it would do in the rain. It's battery operated. But it's certainly good for emergency lighting. However, the sensor mechanism did stop working for me after 2 months. I can still turn the light on manually but the sensor may not have a long life.

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

Yes that's the exact same problem I had. It comes with everything u need. You might also check the plug that goes from the car to the headlight also had to replace that bc of corosion. Other than that u should be good.

ive been using mine for 6 months and havent had any issues with the bulb burning anything or getting to hot. and the majority of my driving is done at night or in the rain so my lights are on almost all the time.

I havent had any issues with the one I purchased, but I know that you are not supposed to get them wet. You may want to check and see if the bulb needs to be replaced
