| I am not really happy with the Burkes on my Rhino, they sometimes only fire up one and you have to hit the switch a couple of times to get them both on. I have them on my truck and they work great.
What is wrong with the others you are sending back? | |

What is wrong with the others you are sending back? Burnt out 3 ballasts in about 3 months... maybe your problem could be switch? ... just a question... I am going to seal all connections with Dielectric grease, than tape, than heat shrink /spray tape or dip seal , anywhere I dont connect will have Silicon seal.... I don't want anymore issues with water, if it hooks up, it will be sealed. | |

| I don't think mine could be the swtich, when I turn them on one ALWAYS lights, but it could be either one. Flip the switch once or twice and they both power up. Burke said it was a voltage issue and common on ATV's/UTV's | |

| well, gonna seal everything as tight as I can, tape, dip, spray, or all... it will be water tight... only question I have and Burke could not answer... do I need to give the HID's air(cooling/ ventilation) there are holes on back of lights, can I seal them with silicone ??? | |

Did this problem happen when you first put them in or did it take several months... | |
