Aaaahhh!  Sorry to say this, but these lights are s#!t - is there by chance
some white calking that holds the plastic in place - better not get them
too wet!

I sold a few of these lights and I got every set back - hopefully yours are
much better quality that the batch that I got back.  I only sell Bosch and
Hella, you pay more, but you get what you pay for too!
