No I did not, but the ones I have do have the orange wires?

I am deployed again so it will have to wait until I am home again.

I have had mine for several weeks now and they work great. Good luck to you other guys that have had issues.

Thanks, Like I said, I love them, just hate the fact I can't get them to work correct all the time.

While installing mine I broke the connection going into one of the ballasts. Went to a local autopart store and got a matching ballast. Tecknotronics never did return my e-mail. They have worked perfectly since April 2011.

I've had tons of problems with mine too. I had a body shop guy install them; he told me he had to take the whole back panel off the car to install them and then they were doing random flickering and still are. I'm afraid I'm going to get some sort of ticket for them. The turn signals do the sweep and the brake lights flicker before going solid but some of the lights flicker constantly or change around as I'm driving down the road. I thought it was working fine but noticed when the car is unlocked it does this (running or not) usually one of the right ones but later I noticed all the highway signs behind me flickering so I had a friend follow me and sure enough the right ones flicker and sometimes the ones on the left. I've called "Todd" and tech support 4 times and have not gotten a call back yet!!!!!! I'm getting pretty pissed off!!!

I had this exact same problem when mine where installed and a little later. I called technostalgia, explained it to them, and did the troubleshooting they asked me to do. It turned out to be the wire between the LED board in the light and the original socket for the old lights. He sent me new wires, I replaced them and the lights work fine.

Libertyracer · 07-03-2012, 03:09 AM

Yeah Chevrole+ I will sell you MINE for $350! After Todd FINALLY replied via email, he sent me a new wiring harness. According to the bodyshop guy who installed them these lights use SUPER CHEAP aluminum wiring that practically falls apart in his hands causing all sorts of shorts. I have no idea if there is some sort of good reason for using aluminum wiring (resistance?) but after they sent me the new harness and he put in the new one everything SEEMED to work for awhile (2 weeks?) and the left outside light started blinking randomly ("display mode" according to Todd) so after getting no response again from Todd I took the old ripped up wiring harness back to the bodyshop guy to get him to try to cannibalize it with the newer one Todd sent to try to make the whole thing work again and now it seems to be working again (for an hours worth of driving) but I'm not holding my breath. Additionally the left outside afterburner ring of lights now has 2 on the right side that appear to be burned out at the top right corner of the Horseshoe (Afterburner). Guess I have to try again to reach Todd, sigh.

Libertyracer · 07-03-2012, 03:16 AM

The old wiring harness showed several spots where the coating was ripped off but I don't know whether or not it happened on install or removal. I am sick of this and am sending ALL of this info to Todd. I will let you know what he does as "soon" as he replies!
