M + R Foglight kit issue

[wraptor]

Are those lights grounded by a wire or by the light housing brackets?
Was your mounting bracket painted and the mounting bolts in the first pictures plated, there is some serious corrosion happening there too. The corrosion is from the salt, the dissimilar metals die cast and any ferrous metal causes galvanic corrosion.
Put some current through it and this happens even faster.

Grounded by a wire, mounting plates came painted black, mine look the same as Greg's now...

When I returned from the snowball my 20 inch light was cracked. M and r replaced it no questions asked. But no corrosion.

All the "mounting" brackets from m&r have all turned a nice shade of rust. Including the bracket on the led light bars, it is to the point I am getting rust streaks from them on the front bumper..

Man that would suck Greg. Guess if you knew before hand could have painted them with rustoleum. Or some other rust preventative

My 40" hasn't gone on yet...I will be getting different brackets...

Greg any suggestions?

No offense to anyone but is it made in china? If it is go figure.

No offense taken by me at all..

I knew going in these were "value priced" led lights. I have put them through hell in last three months and they are still functioning.
Cosmetically (for now) they look like crap, and waiting for M&R respond.

How they handle this issue and resolve the problem before I will recommend these "value priced" leds in any "wet" climate or snow belt.

Have you contacted them outside of this forum yet?

Greg, interested to hear what they say. I bought about the same time but installed end of January or so. I also have the 8 pack on either side of front plate.

I'm in Denver. Not much snow this year and we really don't use salt. They do spray the road with that de-ice crap. I think it s sodium based. Leaves a salty like white haze on things. Try to wash the truck off soon after each storm.

I'll be double checking tomorrow but haven't seen anything like this yet. Hope it stays that way. M&R has been good by me to date. Hope same for you.
