Xenon power units constantly burning out(water leak)

[kapul4]

Greetings, my xenon power units are constantly failing, to be exact,water is somehow getting in,whenever I pull them out,there is a burnt plastic smell and plenty of water comes out. Is there something that goes over them to prevent water getting in? I see they have some rubber gasket that goes inside the connection but it doesn't seem to help

The plastic backs (that screw on with 3 screws) sometimes crack and let water in. Let's hope it's that cause it's a cheap easy fix and worth trying first. Failing that, likely the entire headlight enclosure will need replacing to stop the water leak (not cheap). But if your burning through power packs may be the only option.

If it helps, I've taken one apart here:

Tnx for the info, I don't think I have any plastic cover on the back of the ballasts, should there be any?

I had also the same problem I replaced the 2 back covers because the gasket and mounting point where crisp.

Got a picture of it? I have no cover going over the back of the headlight where ballasts,wires and all the other stuff is located whatsoever.
