Love having fun 😊 in the 🌞 by the ⛵ and the ⏳
Wondering how many of you own an ARB front Bull Bar that has the two orange/amber signal lights in it. My LCs have had these bumpers right from the get go and I love them. In fact ARBs equipment is amongst some of the best going for this sport/hobby.
Having said that I am on my second set of completely new (thank you ARB freebie replacement) signal lights and they too have corroded so much that the bulb is frozen to the connector but is still good. I can put the voltage across it and it lights! Unfortunately, the connector has corroded so much it doesn't do it any longer. This is my second set in 5 years...am I expecting too much for these to last longer than 2-3 years each? I don't think I go into water more than anyone else does and it is fresh water not salt water. I must admit we do have snow here and hence slush but probably less than Renton/Seattle, WA and it is dryer here save this summer!
When I emailed/called ARB regarding this, they were more than happy to send me a second complimentary set. The tech rep also agreed that was one of the weaknesses of the bumpers like that. However, I have not heard of any upgrades or changes despite our rather lenghty conversation and agreement of a better way to make these.
Now my second complimentary set have stopped working or at least more off than on. I don't feel I should contact them again until I hear from any of you with similar findings and perhaps then they might try to get a redesigned set out, if it is not just a single customer.:costumed-smiley-007
