Came with three bands in the box with the light. Where and how are these bands installed? Was not prepared to manage O-rings. Will this affect the waterproof integrity? Thanks.

Hey Jason. No worries. This light is awesome! I think those are extra. Unscrew the head and you should find three o-rings there. If not, insert them in the slots and grease them with any type of Vaseline. Cheers

Strange, mine came the O-Rings installed. I only had to add the batteries. Best light I have ever owned. I heavy dive light though.

If they are the packings (O-rings), then they must be lubed and installed. They create the water barrier. I use any form of petroleum jelly to lube the o-rings. No special tools needed.

If you unscrew the head there three o-ring seals. Either you have extras, if not slide them in the three spots on the threaded end.

the bands are replacement 0-rings. the light already has an o-ring installed.

My light came with the light and the lanyard and that was all.....no bands/gaskets paperwork.....nothing!But, the light works great, is waterproof, and as soon as warm enough going to help me gig some more flounder :)

the "three bands" are spare o-rings. i don't know what you mean by "manage o-rings". the light hasn't worked for me apart from once for about 10 seconds. i am entirely dissatisfied with it and i'm returning it at the earliest opportunity.

The light mounts with an elastic band that wraps around the bar and attaches to the light. The band is pretty tight so it may not be as quickly released as you would like.

No you bolt directly over them. If you visit the KC web page you can download the instruction booklet. I recommend putting some good masking tape over the original brackets before putting the light bar on to prevent scratching or buffing over time. I also have a snorkel attached to my car and they both fit perfectly with no issues! enjoy!

Probably not guaranteed waterproof, no gaskets that I saw, but the lights come packaged in sections and you can screw them together in about 5 minutes, no tools required, everything fit together tightly. The top is large enough that the water runs off ok. Mine have been outside for a year and no problems yet. They look way better than the cheap ones at WM.

I bought a set of 2. At first I didn't notice, but after about a week or two at night after I installed them, I noticed that the two light have vey different beam spot sizes, or flood patterns...or whatever you want to call the illumination pattern. I measured them, and one is close to 8 degrees, and the other is close to 30 degrees. The 8 does look like a spot type. With some small amount of outside the spot light beam. The 30 is more or les a flood type light. No real focused beam. Still seems to look as bright when doing the stare test, or the 'dark garage wall test. I'm trying to contact the vendor and ask them. FYI - *** When I've looked at other sellers of LED moto lights web sites, the majority of them do mention that they sell a spot version, and a flood version.( for the same lamp type) And if you don't specify exactly what two you want in your order, they sys they will ship you one of each. That may what happened to me.

Shouldn't be a problem, they give you two different sized mounting bands. Keep in mind this is NOT a CREE light, it's a complete knockoff with no information whatsoever. No manufacturer name, no country of origin. The seller here isn't being up front and honest about what this light is or isn't!

They come with a plastic wrapping on top, and you can see the light without taking it off. But I think that the bottoms would still be exposed and the connection is so tenuous at best, that I doubt many of them would work. Even in a dry environment, only about half of them worked. Some of the on/off buttons wouldn't move, some the light would work but only if you continued to hold the button. Some just didn't work at all. Way too much money for a very inferior product. I returned mine with no trouble. The UPS man came right to my door and I didn't have to pay for the shipping.

Cheaper to just buy a new light. I have learned to just seal them thoroughly, To keep the bugs from shorting it out. Hope this helps....

I keep mine (more) secure by wrapping cable ties across the top of the light, around the base, as well as to attach the light to the handlebars. Might look a bit tacky, but black cable ties are almost invisible. O-rings are available at Home Depot for a few dollars: http://www.homedepot.com/b/Plumbing-Plumbing-Parts-Repair-Faucet-Parts-Repair-O-Rings-Washers/N-5yc1vZc6a6

The light is water proof. It works great. Very easy to install. Just that mine did not come with instructions. Overall very happy with them.

Just drill a big enough hole for the wire to go through. Then simply put the wire through and silicone the hole on front and back side. Line them up and screw them in. Lights work great. Just make sure you have them mounted below the water line:)

I have recently moved. and it's still packed. but if I remember right the little band turns and it loosens and you put them in and then tighten them. if you can't get it. I will keep checking back and as soon as I unpack it , I will check here. or ask the seller maybe ? Sorry I don't think I"m much help

Wow, not from me, as I'm just an owner of the light, not a supplier of the light. What I do if I were you is head up to your local Ace Hardware or another quality hardware store with light in hand and see what they might be able to do for you!

Hello Roberto I installed the Eyes Halo Ring on a 99 323iThey are nice and bright but unfortunately after three months the LED's on the rings going of and the guarantee is good only for the first 3 months sorry. I won't buy any more from them thanks

Hi KarlYes, my light also has the same configuration. Not sure what the additional hole is for but there is a corresponidng hole in my light socket. I think some light poles and sockets have 3 pins, presumably for additional power or lighting options. Alternatively it just may be to allow water to drain out so that water doesn't build up and short out the wiring.RegardsRob

Dear Robert,Thank you for your trusting,This is waterproof LED light so normally we install it and connect the cable on the professional circuit board.If there are any thing else I can do for you pls feel free to contact me.Have a nice day! ;-)Grace.

I don't remember an o-ring in the package, or actually remember needing an o-ring. It did fit right into my Zodiac without a problem, I've been using the first one for about a year and will order another set of two when I have to install the second one. Definitely cheaper than the pool stores.
