What did u do to your raptor today?

[Whoops]

Yup i cant win. Tried to take baja led bezel off to repaint it and one of the screws is stuck and starting to strip.

Im at the point of saying f it and letting them rot out till theyre junk and just buying cheap ones. At least that way if they rot out i wont care. Lol

That's the one problem with BD or any off road light really, aluminum housing and stainless screws. Just driving, the wind passing over the aluminum can create a small electrical charge aiding dissimilar metal corrosion. Water and or salt just exacerbate the corrosion. A stainless housing would help, wonder why no one has tried it.

Right.

Cant even find a tq bit to fit and try that method to extract the screw.

I never saw the value in expensive lights, I've bought the cheap one's and they have worked for me. If one fails, I can replace it about ten folds of what some of the higher end brands cost. Some will argue about light output, but do you really need enough light to fry a cat at 100 yards?

For most people, uses, I don't disagree with your opinion on cheaper lights. I've found having a ton of expensive lights super helpful on off road night runs but honestly, that's just been a handful of times over the past decade. I do think BD amber lights for rear facing dust/chase lights are the best choice. Their high intensity pierces the dust better is than anything else I've seen.

Found some aluminum screws that'll fit the bd housing but idk if its a good idea LOL

….. do you really need enough light to fry a cat at 100 yards?

I put anti seize on mine to prevent that from happening. Only time will tell
