Oops, I missed seeing the Fire & Ice in your Mods list. Doesn't sound like there is much hope of any of them lasting too long, not sure I will even bother trying to warranty mine if/when it fails. Glad I at least saved $20 buying from Amazon rather than one of the truck parts places.

Even though you may not see any moisture, be sure to seal the ends very tightly, and make sure your connections are good. I recently took the time to hardwire mine in, only to have it quit working that week. Started with half the reds quit then it completly went out. Same around here. The weather changes is too hard on them. NTM I wash my truck once a week. And around here I very rarely see a line of fire LED working properly.

Well I ventured into the cold and installed the new light bar. IT'S ALIVE!!! for how long is another story. I did see some condensation in the old one, so the reason for dying is obvious. I just hope this one lasts a while.
....My name is Gregg, and I am I also a washahaulic. I'm sure it too plays havoc with the moisture, as well as the weather change. I have saw quite a few half dead around theses parts, but also saw a couple here and there still surviving, since they were first noticed on neighboring trucks (year or so). Needless to say.... I'm keepin' da fingers crossed!!!!
