LOL glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. Had the bulb replaced once by the dealer and I had the same isse. Water in the headlight housing. Of course the second one lasted not even the whole next ride, same issue water getting into the housing. After speaking with my dealer, and expressing my dis-satisfaction, I'm taking the whole housing to them and have them replace it. If that doesnt work I'll just seal it myself. Its my only complaint with the outlaw so far and to be honest I should just seal it myself now but its too new for me to justify doing it.

Yeah I blew a light blub on my outlaw after a really wet ride. There was quite bit of water in the housing. I had to buy an expensive bulb from polaris ($34). Which sucks because I can get a 100w/85W daul High / Low bulb for my harley for less then $10. After buying the bulb and replacing it I took both of the housings off and used silicone and sealed them myself. I have yet to have any more problems after sealing them but I have not had a really wet ride yet. The only problem (which is my fault) is I left a small shard of glass from the broken bulb in the housing. Opps. Besides that I have had no problems and no regrets sealing the bulb. I recommend doing this one the outlaw when you buy one. I am not sure if polaris fixed this problem for the newer outlaws? Mine is an 06. This sounds like a common problem.
