Technostalgia taillights question

I've had these lights for around three months now and love the way they look. My first issue came a day after the install when three led's in the afterburner section went out. I was sent a replacement and all was well. A month later, the same thing again, three led's out. This time however I have to send my light back for repair as opposed to getting one sent to me ahead of time. How are you guys handling this? Have you put the one OEM light back and if so does it work with the other three or are you just riding around with an empty space? I'm really not in the mood to keep getting tickets that's for sure.

I don't know. I can't get them to answer my calls.

My afterburners won't work when the outside temperature hits 90 degrees.

I have to remove the plastic covers and drive for about an hour before they cool off enough to work.

Anyone from Technostalgia reads this, PM me ASAP!!!

So would you recommend the Technostalgia tail lights? I want them but it's a lot for something that will only cause problems.

I definitely recommend them but you have to realize that if they go out or there is another issue, it's not as easy as replacing a single bulb. My experience today is an example of what I have to go through in order to get mine fixed. Great when they work, an inconvenience when they don't. I also have to pay for shipping the bad one back. I guess that's the price we pay for uniqueness.

I have the same prob..3 LED's out in one of my afterburners...I called and left a message, Emailed them and sent pictures as proof, and no response or call back! I also get one that is fogging up when it rains...Really disappointing!
