    Lights have been completely broken down. I painted the little metal pieces for the mechanical motor slide red kinda wanted to give them a new look. Hopefully they don't get stuck because of the paint. I plan to slap them together in the next few days and will be put on some Gatling Gun with Halos. Was thinking of tinting the orange reflector but not sure yet. Hopefully they turn out decent.

    Happy to report that my other lights have not fogged up. Been through freezing temp, constant rain and are holding up. No fog in the know problem areas (bottom corners or top corners). So hopefully I'll have some success with this new pair I'm building.

    I'll post up some pics when I get a chance. I have tons. :D

    The adjustment screw plastic pieces looked fined, couldn't see any striping so I'm still a little puzzled. The bowls came off just fine. Just to be certain, I went ahead and just swapped out the bowls to OEM bowls with OEM plastic screw pieces so hopefully this will solve any adjustment problems in the future. The outter screws move the bowl up and down while the inner screws move the bowl in and out. Just for reference here.
