Is Hella really dropping the ball?

Am I the only guy on here with defective Hella heads?

My Hella's have right around a cup of water in them. The bottom of the heads are completely filled with water. It is a joke how much water is inside them!

I've ran a bead of silicone around the heads, the horrible gasket on the back, and they are still filling up with water. The only way to get all this water out is with a wet/dry vac.

Does anyone have a solution? I can't sell these guys as is, they would be better off in a trash can.

I might have to save up now for some HD's. Kicking myself for not doing it right the first time.....

Wasn't Hella replacing those because of leaking issues? Don't know if they have a warranty, but you could try contacting them, or the place you bought them from. I think they revised their design.

I think I remember Pimprohr saying his 1st set leaked. He contacted Hella and they sent him a new set in 3 days
