LSR Mike Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 I was waxing the SS on Saturday, and noticed a light grey discoloration of the reflector above the DRL Bulbs. Does your's have this? something to worry about? Warranty? Fire Hazard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 hard to tell what it is from the pic, but I just checked mine and don't see anything. Is the bulb discolored? Possibly the bulb is getting too hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdriveGTP Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Mine is still clear, but I have seen a discoloration like that when there is a void in the seal (when condensation gets inside of the lens). I would go and see your local friendly Chevy dealer and have then order you a new one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmalibuss Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hmm possibly salt deposites from bonneville? By the time the warranty is up you might be lucky to have a truck left! Salt= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it is this way is because it has air in it and when the bulb heats up it expands the air. Every one of them have a small vent for the air to come in and out. Yes at times it can collect condinsation, but it should go away. Usually the manufactures say it is normal unless the condinsation does not go away after the light has been on for at least 5 minutes. I have seen a lot of headlights that have dry wax on them from buffing the truck, and combine that with heat, BOOM, discolored Headlight. I bet the dealer will take care of you on this well!!

LSR Mike Posted December 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Truck is doing great after the salt. It got a complete pressure wash (under carridge and all) with Salt-X from the Boat Store. Don't worry, I talked to a bunch of the "old Salts" who have been going there for years to find out what works. There is a particular Car wash in Wendover that caters to us, they even take the salt chunks that come off the vehicles (A TRUCK LOAD) back to the flats. I've got a list of stuff to be done to the Truck now, Tailgate Cables, Intermediate Steering Shaft, and now the DRL Reflectors..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
