Daniele, is it really? Show us the picture of your auxiliary high beam 90mm LED lamps please.  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

hence you applied the silicone grease between rings and lamps. Correct? And if so, any idea what happened, was it just friction as mentioned by someone, or was it because you had damaged the paint during installation, or....?

Daniele, good you clarified that. Just by posting those pics without any background comments and taken from another forum, we might get wrong footed. Glad those are not yours.
But I think you said that you had corrosion problems with you EVOs already after 2 months, and hence you applied the silicone grease between rings and lamps. Correct? And if so, any idea what happened, was it just friction as mentioned by someone, or was it because you had damaged the paint during installation, or....?

In any case, I have bought a tube of silicone grease already, and I have ordered the black powder coated SS rings from Naka to replace my unpainted SS rings. Sofar that seem the two things I have seen on the forum here about possible actions to help avoid the problem from happening, if it has not happened already which I still have to find out.

Eric

Thank you Eric

Yes I put the grease after my check.

The problem is the difference of elettropotential between the two metals type. This is the reason that it is necessarymto put same grease or "anti zeit paste" on the defender stainless steel body screws (doors, rear door, bonnet hinges and so on)

In this instance wouldn't a thin gasket be a better solution, especially in something like a thin rubber - easy to make by utilising the bezel as the template.

Should be a solution..... Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

The effects of dissimilar metal corrosion are well known in certain industrial quarters. Placing two different metals together in a damp environment without protection and you effectively produce your very own mini electrolytic battery. I too bought a set of JWS and the stainless steel rings supplied were a ba5t4rd to fit? fit them I did and having realised I had compromised the paint integrity of the lights I sealed the rings FRONT and BACK with a marine grade sealant I also sealed the base of the connectors where the terminals may still be exposed?. On my recent inter cooler swap out where the lights had to be removed there was no corrosion.
Time and preparation are the main keys here if you do not want corrosion or moisture ingress issues? They are an excellent product and well documented and tested. To all those 'holding off" purchasing "if the simple application of a little sealant or realising the potential issues of dissimilar metal corrosion is beyond you don't buy a set of JWS then?' Doubt if you'll browbeat them into changing what is an excellent proven product due to the fitting of unapproved stainless rings?

Aluminium ring would not be strong enough and too costly to make!
