Exterior Lighting · at 800 miles · reported Feb 23, 2007
The lights on my 07 firebolt are starting to dim. After further investigation I noticed the reflective light housing material is deteriorating causing bad illumination.
Exterior Lighting · at 3,500 miles · reported Feb 14, 2007
Low beam headlight has gradually become dim. When the light was opened it was discovered that the silver coating on the inside of the reflector has degraded and blistered leading to reduced light output. The reduced light output puts the rider at risk due to reduced visibility. Currently waiting for a replacement reflector via a warranty claim through the dealer.
