They make different security bolts that you can find online. Nothing is theft proof but it will slow them down

My idea would be running an extra set of wires inside the main set and then tying this extra set into their aftermarket alarm on an aux channel. If somebody is going to steal the light, they will have no choice but to cut the wires. And when the wires get cut, it kills the signal running through this extra pair of wires and triggers the alarm.

That being said, it's a bit of work and requires an aftermarket alarm (or very good knowledge of the factory alarm, should you have one)

So how are you guys taking care of the moisture issues if you are having them? I have had mine installed for about three weeks, but hadn't really had it out in the rain until yesterday and guess what I have today. Just in the middle section of the light.

Take it apart and reseal it.

What would you use to seal it with?

Well I tore into it last night. I have the type that has the slide in rails rather than the one with the screw in rails. I have some 100% silicone on its way to me. I am not sure I can get it sealed any better than it was, but we will see. Hope I can get it sealed up. Thinking about running a small bead all the way around the lens on once it is all togeter.

If anybody has done this with the slide on rail type, do you slide the rails on while the silicone on the lense is still wet? My guess is yes because if you allow the silicone to dry them slide those rails in, you run the risk of breaking the new seal resulting in the same issue.
