Anyone have problems with their ARB lenses melting? I recently changed both bulbs and found the middle part of the lenses had partially melted. These are the stock amber lenses that came with Discovery 1 ARB non-air winchmount bumper.
Are there replacements readily available?

i had the same problem, i had to take my truck in to have the arb lights rewired to be turn signals (they melt if they run all the time)....and yes there is a replacement lights kit on www.4wheelparts.com...here is the exact link:

Common problem - ARB gives you a bulb that is much too large for the application (an 1156 I think) - simply replace it with a bulb with the same size bayonet mount, but a 5 watt bulb - available at any parts store (can't remember the number right now).
Also - ARB will replace the melted lenses if you bitch.

Sylvania
5007 (R5W)
European Lamps
This is a standardized bulb number I think, but I bought this at pepboys and it is a 5 watt bulb that will fit into the ARB fixture.
I had the same problem.  |

I didn't use ARB lamps... For the sake of being cheap i used my originals... Instead of srcewign them in (you can't they're too small) I used a couple of black wire ties to secure them to the brackets... Cheesy but it worked and no melted lenses... |
