     :bigsmile:  I just pulled the trigger today too Mike! :cooldancing:  If it doesn't work out it's all your fault for pushing me over the edge! :smilielol:

    Your right Larry is a pretty good guy! I said CHALLENGER not Charger. He laughed and said ya I have heard that a few times this week? Then he kept saying Charger right, then laughing just to wind me up. He has a great sence of humour! :2thumbs:

    Oh boy, isn't this getting interesting?   :grinyes:

    Let me know if you need any advice. I wasn't real sure how to tap into the rear wiring harness with their clips, but I figured it out. If you have a Volt meter, you need to find out what wire does what in that light bulb circuit. For instance, on the left side..You take out the old 1157 bulb with the left turn signal flashing, between the wire and ground, you should see some voltage flashing. Basically you need to determine what wire is the turn signal and parking light on each side. There is a green wire you will not use on their harness. For the control board, I just tied the ground wire into one of the nuts on the tail light buckets inside the trunk. The power wire I ran to my aftermarket Amp in my trunk. It is on a fused circuit, so that worked for me. If you need to run that power wire up into your engine bay, then you will have to buy some wire.

    IT's Fixed !!    :bananasmi   :jumping:   :woo:   :woohoo:

    As of 3:43PM Eastern time today, they are trouble free. I love them, to say the least. The turn signal flasher swap was the last piece of the puzzle.

    I can only ask who is next to bite the bullet?    :dunno:

    What brand turn signal flasher did you get? I have the same issues as you? I just ran up to the store and got a electronic flasher but still having the same issues as you had? :pullinghair:

    I had some trouble fitting them into the tail light assembly, but I did some McGivering and made it work.I'll post some pictures when I'm all finished. My problem is everything works OK till I turn on the running lights, then the right side signal doesn't work right. It goes dim and dimly flashes on both sides? Ghosting as Mike called it? I'll have to call Larry and see what he can do?
    Scott did you buy a set too?
    They sure are brighter than the stock set up though! :thumbsup:

    Your right Mike....same issue as you had. I just got off the phone with Larry. He walked me through a few tests,it was the board. New board/controller is on it's way! Gotta like when people stand behind there products and make things right! :2thumbs:
    What a concept? Think it will catch on? :icon16:

    AHHHHHH!
    Got my replacement board today....same issue . Right side turn signal "ghosts" both sides with the dim bulbs, only when the headlights are on. Headlights off , everything works great?
     :pullinghair:
    I e-mailed Larry to tell him the bad news, so I'll have to wait to see what he says...

    Brad,

      Let me know what Larry has to say. This is beyond an acceptable error. I drove mine today, and it all works well. So some units work...    :dunno:

    Has anybody else taken the plunge?

    Mike, are yours still going strong? Any complaints?

    Brad, did you ever get yours sorted?

    I've had 2 different rear bulbs go in the past week - so it's time to upgrade to LED's. I'm in the process of ordering the front parking-light/indicator LED kit offered by Tony (bigblue73), so I wouldn't mind also getting the rears now, dropping them off at my local auto-sparky, and having everything hooked up at the same time.

    NO  :pullinghair: and I'm starting to loose patience! I have e-mailed him again with no responce.
    Mine still have the issue of when you turn on the parking lights and/or headlights and turn on the right side turn signal both side blink dimly? Works fine other wise? :sly:
    At this point I'm not so sure I'd recomend them or not? I have visions of ripping it all out and going back to bulbs! :stomp:

    Mine work. I had an initial hiccup like Brad, so I hesitate to recommend them as well. As far as liking them, they are real cool and the brake and turn signals are much brighter.
