Cloudy Lights
I have an 06 Ultra Classic and noticed that the two front auxiliary light lenses are "clouded" on the inside surface. I inquired about this finding and was told by the HD service advisor that this was normal and occurred with all the bikes if you use the auxiliary lights a lot. Is this on the level? Or should I pursue replacement lense covers while the bike is still under warranty? Appreciate anyone's input on this! Thank you -

RE: Cloudy Lights
Just about everyone I know with a newer bike has the same problem. I replaced the lens and reflected. Then installed H-3 bulbs.... This was the best mod I have done to my bike ...The visibility both day and night is great. The total cost to me for parts was about $100...Also yo have to do a little wire cutting and adapting the new reflectors to fit. The first lamp will take you a good hour to figure it all out, the second one of course will be much easier...definitely worth the effort. If you need help finding the parts let me know

RE: Cloudy Lights
Just a follow-up to all, the auxiliary lights "will" be replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, the HD dealership did not have the replacement items readily available, so I will have to return to have the service done. Question: This problem with the auxiliary lights clouding up is not an isolated case, it appears to occur on quite a few of the bikes that I have seen. From a safety standpoint, I utilize the auxiliary lights whenever I take the bike out. Is this something MOCO should address as a recall/update?

RE: Cloudy Lights
I haven't yet gotten up the nerve to remove my ignition switch to rewire the passing lamps so I can have them on with the high beams, so I really don't use them that much because during the day I always run with my high beams on....makes you way more visible to on-coming traffic than even running low beam with passing lamps on....so the ones on my 08 UC are still clear.

RE: Cloudy Lights
I just ruined mine trying toclean them out, I think it is being caused by moisture seeping into the unsealed beam.I will silicone the replacement bulb to try to seal them.
