Broken headlight bulbs

[Guest]

When washing my raptor I noticed both bulbs broke off at the base, they were bouncing around inside the headlight. Anyone had this happen to them? I was gonna remove my headlights any way but was surprised this happened, seemed really weird . My quad has about 30-40 hours on it.

It never happened to me, but I have heard stories of it happening before. I don't really know what would cause it, aside from yamaha using cheap bulbs

My bulbs didnt shatter, theyre intact. they just broke the outer ring.

I had the same thing happen to my 04 Raptor, they both popped loose from the mounting retainers on the bulbs on the same day. Had to solder the rings back on the bulbs. ;D

Seems like buying new bulbs would have been less trouble...

Bulbs are kinda high for these and it was fairly easy to fix them.
