That seems to be the major issue with these things... just a lucky draw if you get a good set. Think I heard someone ended up with a third and fourth set before it was sorted.

Do you have to send them back?

Cheers
Aaron

Yes. Amazon provides a pre-paid return shipping label and cross ships the replacements...I'll keep returning them until I get a good set...

I went through 3 sets until I got a good driver side and passenger side. What a pita -- although working thru amazon was pretty easy and low stress. Just took longer than I wanted to get them up and running.

Tarek307,

does your vehicle have PSM? I was one of the original buyers when these came out and besides the hyperblinking issue...my PSM and ABS lights lit up. Probably due to the voltage coming in but wanted to check with you if your car has it and any issues with PSM.

mine does - and along with the flasher change - i had to do the resistor modification as well. Really pretty simple.

I received my second set yesterday...no broken pieces and they look great. I did the install including the flasher module. The lower LED's work but the upper LED section on both do not light up.????

So I made all my testing by turning ON and OFF the light switch and all was fine..

But now that I test it with the ignition key in and ready to start (or if the engine is running), my third stop light is turning on ....

Note1: that I have a LED third brake light kit installed, so I wonder if that picks up some low power that is usually in the system but not enough to lit up the blb version or... if I have another short somewhere

Note2: the picture is taken with the lgiht switch on, and the key in the on position. But I do NOT have my foot on the brake pedal.. I am taking the picture
