I have a DK45SE, bought new in 2008, now with 500 hours. I noticed a few weeks ago the L brake light was burned out, so I took apart the housing to change the bulb a few days ago. Here's what it looked like inside. The plastic of the bulb housing "locking" mechanism is crumbling away. That caused the bulb to become loose and melted into the rest of the housing. Good thing it didn't burn more. It appears it eventually got hot enough to burn out the bulb. I disassembled the opposite side (R) and it looks the same -- crumbling plastic. Anyone else run into this problem? I'll take the parts down to the dealer on Monday, but I don't expect any sympathy. Thanks for any input.
