I'm loving the look of these, but I've read some threads where there have been some issues with these. Have these issues been fixed?

Yes! Be sure to tell them when your car was produced, it seems GM changed some programming in the BCM for at least the Vert 11's, and maybe all after January 11's. They have 2 different resistor sets depending on the programming. No condensation issues here.

There is a video on my build page in my signature of it working right, I have a video on some of my other posts of it not working when I had to switch the resistors.

I have the 2010 and the Apex (Technostalga) taillights for almost a year with no problems.

I'm pretty sure that the current version of the lights have the updated resistors so that they work on all model year vehicles.

That is correct.

Just installed these on my '11 IOM last week. Must say they are amazing. It's nice when you're at a red light and you see the people behind pointing at your turn signal. Installed mine in about 2 hours (couldn't get the &*#$ belzels off). Top notch product.

Ph4r · 02-10-2012, 04:59 AM

Why do promo vids always leave out the hazards, I think they are pretty sweet, very attention getting!

NEGXXIS · 02-10-2012, 08:20 AM

Yeah I installed mine last week also.

mine came with the resistors

ZombieEatsYou · 02-10-2012, 12:56 PM

Installed mine about a month ago. vid here has the hazards as well

jtfire006 · 02-10-2012, 02:48 PM

Got some on wife's car for about five months. Left most light doesn't work in show mode. All lights work in all other modes tho. Didn't know about resistor change. Guess I need to contact them and maybe that would fix issue. Otherwise we love them. Will be getting some for my car. No condensation issues here either.
