I boxed them up and sent them back to Technosalgia yesterday for repair.

Got the lights back in 4 days! super fast turn around I think.
So far so good, seem to be working great now!!

I've had these for awhile with no problems and I did the install myself. Actually I had a bad resistor when I first got it that somehow got messed up in transit. They sent me a new one and they have be going strong for 4 months and counting.

I've ran my car through the car wash atleast 6 times with no water so I think you got a bad batch but I'm sure Todd will replace.

Have had mine in since Jan. with no problems at all. (knock/wood) Got em from JCWhitney pretty quick, 2-3 weeks if I remember correctly. They don't seem to carry them any longer though.

Said they have 16 sets ordered but the Manufacturer now has pushed the date back again . Has anyone got there lights sense the Memorial Day Sale ?

The manufacturer ships the orders out as they come in. Year one should have had the 16 sets IN STOCK before having a 25% off sale...

Thats what I would have thought !!!

BADMAB · 06-22-2012, 07:37 AM

I had a feeling that would happen when I heard about the sale. At least you got a sweet price!

YO was crazy for dropping the price that much on a product with such a high demand and limited quantities.

If you have lights on all the time, that would be the only source of power when the key is off.
When I installed mine I had one connector backwards and the whole thing would not work correctly.

mine lights would not work at all if you didn't connect to battery....

My defective lamp is on the way!

freefallin2005 · 07-02-2012, 08:54 AM

just called year one for the 6th time. A few of us ordered these memorial day weekend.We all have heard in 1 week then next week etc etc, Now year one is saying end of this week "HOPEFULLY". maybe its me but why would you offer to sell these and advertise 3 weeks for delivery when you dont even have 1 set in stock???

bee sting · 07-02-2012, 09:14 AM

Wow I hope this is true ... They told me July 5 a few Weeks ago but I just gave up wishing on a date . If mine come in I'll post up .

Thanks for the update and good luck .

Transformed · 07-02-2012, 11:18 AM

Installed mine yesterday and work great (so far!) except three bulbs burned out on each side. Damn. Waiting for a call from Technostalgia but at least they are usable in the mean time.

A word of advice I got from someone else on here is to reset the computer settings once you install - my lights wouldn't work and once it was reset - voila!

bee sting · 07-02-2012, 12:13 PM

Reset how ? Just unhook the battery ?

BADMAB · 07-02-2012, 01:28 PM

You reset the lights by unhooking the pink (power) wire from the battery for a few minutes then re-connecting it. This will reset the taillight software.

They shouldnt offer these if they have this long of a wait.

BADMAB · 07-10-2012, 10:48 AM

I agree. I sell the lights and I would NEVER run a special like that especially not having them in stock. The sales team should talk to the purchasing department every once in a while...

ChriSS84 · 07-10-2012, 12:40 PM

These lights are junk. Read all 4 pages, and see all the issues with the lights. Why do people keep buying such a terrible product? Yea it looks cool, but the defective product out weighs that in my mind. I don't want to spend $400 bucks to have a constent problem on my car.
