The only difference I could think is that Darrell uses stock H7 bulbs (I believe) while I have been using Silvania Silverstars of one flavour or another for some time now. Maybe there is a difference in the current draw and heat output seen at the connector.

Yes i use the stock H7 bulbs rated for 270 hours I purchase for about $10 at any auto parts store. i tried one of the brighter bulbs and it last maybe 120 hours so figured not worth the money. I have the Clearwater lights with yellow lens set at 30% so hopefully others see me. I've not rode the bike since new at night so don't need the lights for ability to see the road.
