That's a bummer.

Mine are working sweet. Made a vid of them during the day. Just need to edit it and also make a night version and I'll throw them up.

 :woohoo:   third times the charm! Got my 3rd controller last week and just hook it up tonight and they work great! :2thumbs:   FINALLY!   I was beginning to have serious doubts. The 3rd controller has a blue main power wire instead of a red one. Just to ID the "updated" controllers?

They look cool, don't they? I can't believe how much brighter they are either.    :2thumbs:

Ya they look good! My son likes them too. ( he helped wire them up) Larry was pretty good about it I guess. I imagine with 3 controlers and postage he didn't make much on this sale but stuck with it till it was resolved.

That's bloody fantastic mate! Great to hear.

 :woohoo:  :cooldancing:  :woo:

Regarding Larry, I'm sure the first 2 controllers you returned can be refurbished to function as new for re-sale - or maybe he just refurbished and returned each of yours to you (may explain the delay) - so it may not have been a total loss for him. Nice to know he come through in the end though.

Actually I still have the 2 defective controlers and I asked Larry if he wants me to send them back. Might be useful for him to disect and see what went wrong? :dunno:

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Could help him resolve the issue a little more definitively.

Yep I agree, just heard back from Larry asking me to send back the defective units.

Well lets see a video my man!  Congrats on getting them working.  Larry is a stand-up guy.

Why aren't they tested before they ship?  Or the Chinese not capable of doing that? :stirpot:

I don't know how to post a video? My camera is capable of a short video . Just upload it to photobucket? :clueless:
Ya Larry is great to deal with, he stuck it out till it was resolved gotta give him credit for that! :2thumbs:
I was just as much a pain in the butt for him as it was for me.

Ok ....REALLY frustrated! Passenger side running lights don't work. I have 12 V going to the board with the running lights on, but no lights. I have brake lights but no running lights.
I guess I'm going back to the stock set up.  :walkaway:

Here's a quick vid my Chally. Not made specifically to showcase these LED's, but toward the end you can see how well the brake lights work.

If I remember, I'll head back tomorrow and film a bit more, and be sure to include the indicator & running lights for clarification.

 :2thumbs:


Those look pretty sweet,and so does your car and sounds awesome great vid....now I need an empty road so I can copy that great idea :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

I think I found the issue maybe? :dunno:  Looks like a burnt out electronic "doo-hickey" ? Maybe if I can find out what it is and a spec I can remove this one and solder another in? Anyone into electronics?
