Default Cobra Headlight issues - anyone else?

A few months ago, I purchased and installed a Cobra II 5.75 x 9 chrome bullet style headlight by Accessories Unlimited.&nbsp\\; I bought it from Eastern Performance brand new in the box.&nbsp\\; Today I noticed the reflective material just above the bulb is coming apart.&nbsp\\; Appears that it could be caused by heat from the bulb maybe?&nbsp\\; I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with these headlights?&nbsp\\;

By the way, it appears that it could be caused by heat from the bulb maybe?&nbsp\\; I have emailed EP about it and am waiting for a response.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;Before this light, I had a 4.5 x 7 version made by the same company and had no issues.

Greg, I got one made by the same company from easternperformance.com.&nbsp\\; Had it a little longer than you and have had no such issues.

Thanks, hopefully it's just a 1 off thing.&nbsp\\; I already heard back from Jonathan at EP - offered to take care of it, I just have to give them a call in the morning.&nbsp\\; Gotta love EP - still not a bad thing to say about them in my book.

I just found your thread. I have the same problem, on top of the melted reflective material, the glass is all fogged up! What happened with you? did they change it? did u have to send them the light? the problem is I am on the other side of the globe and shipping is a problem!

I didn't contact the manufacturer, I didn't have to. I contacted eastern performance, a sponsor of this forum and where I bought the headlight and numerous other things, and they took care of it. The sent me an entirely new bulb/lense assembly and I replaced it. So far, it seems to be holding up just fine.
