Anyone else had..

[pof]

Just noticed im getting some "melting" of my headlught lense. Has anyone else had this with hids? Had them in for16 mnths with no issues in this bike and nearly 3 yrs in another. I take it the lenses cant be replaced and its a new assembly?

I did a search and come up with nothing. (Might be me or my phone though). 200 quid for new set of lights i think i may put up with it [emoji12]

Only main beam. High beam uneffected. Ive done 7k miles with them in with no issues. I would have thought this time of yr would be "safer". Its not bad bad but its definatly marked the lense

Do you know if they are 55w or 35w. Do you have plastic bulb bases or metal? (Wondering if metal dissipate heat better.

55w but not sure on bases. Will have a look tomorrow
