Time to re-seal the headlight & indicator lens plus swap out the standard halogens for xenon ones.
I really wasn't looking forward to taking the front of the scoot off again, but I had my new xenon bulbs waiting for over a week on my desk. So I nipped out and purchased a new tube of clear silicone. I was hoping that it was sorted last time, but the amount of water inside was amazing, I'm still not too sure how it gets in, this is both the headlight and indicator enclosures (left side).
From the pic you should make out the water droplets, I initially thought this was on the outside - but oh no! - on the inside...... STRANGE....
On closer inspection I think it is entering along the edge of the lens where it meets the case (see pics).
I dont want to do this again, so the silicone went on, right around both of the culprits - LIBERALLY.........
OK so the left side went back on, the smell of silicone nearly knocking me out, and off comes the right hand side (to swap the bulb).
Grrrr, the clip that holds the lamp in is fouling the outer case - can unclip it - but not lift up...
Grrrrrrr, take out the little screw - drop it on the ground - ten minutes to find it Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......
Bulb in - clip back - panel back on.
Very happy with the bright white light these little suckers give out.
Now to see if the headlight is waterproof. Wont be long as it hasn't stopped raining.
