Problems with my Technostalgia Full LED lights

[BADMAB]

It sounds like the shop you take it to is messing up the interconnect harness. That'll happen to any harness that you have to thread through a car if you're not careful. And they use copper wiring; I've asked them before.

Have you been trying to call or e-mail him?

I am expecting a package from Todd. I hope it is the correct resistor packs.

I am so glad that I did not order these after reading the recent posts. I wanted these bad . I have learned to wait on the new products for our camaro's until others have posted their experience's .To much dough and a pain to install (tight quarters) , to be putting them in and pulling them out over & over again.I am afraid long term durability will be an issue seeing how a lot of people are having so much trouble with them early on.Good luck to all that are having issues !

In no way am I trying to be a smart ass, but most of us have had no problems, just saying. But I feel terrible for those that did. As for the install in was a breeze if you take off the bumper. If not than yes it is a very tight area to work in. But its so easy to take off and replace. Hour and a half of work for bumper removal-light install-bumper replacement. Not to change the subject but removing the bumper is going to be a yearly maintenance chore now that I've seen all the leafs and road grime that collected under there that will retain moisture. Plus the paint looked pretty thin under the bumper. So sooner or later both these issue's together could cause corrosion. Especially here in the north east here where salt would also find it's way in.

Should we make a poll?

Here is what is happening. All lights hooked according to the instructions sheet, all switches in the light are off. I had one of the ballist with a wrong connector (had a female to female end on both connectors, fixed this) and ensured everything connected correctly. On my test here is what happens

Door unlock far outer drivers side flashes like rapid fire brake lights applied all others flash as normal.



Fourways same as above.

Left turn inner drivers side flashes as a normal turn (should be Seque) drivers outer flashed as sequential, inside shows check turn signal. Flashing (signal turns seems to be normal speed)






Right turn both lights flashes very fast and not Sequential at all.





Brake test is same as fourway no rapidfire except for the far drivers outer.



Anyone else have issues like this?

I have tried to call them about this but get leave a message all day long.

Mine did that when I missed the additional sheet and did not hook up the little boxes into the system. Hooked up the little boxes and they have worked fine for 6 months.

Mine are fixed finally, it was the resistors, I am happy not to see the MAL anymore!

Similar issues with mine that I tried to install tonight. I triple checked all connector, made sure everything was seated firmly, ground wire taped off, etc. Weird blinking behavior, then nothing other than a nearly dead battery. Ballast so hot I got a second degree burn on my hand from barely brushing it. I would stay away from these things... even if I got a functional set I don't think I would trust them in my car.

I just PM'd you Shannon. It looks like you might have the bulb harnesses in backwards, but I would call Todd to clarify.

And to anyone that doesn't use their Camaro as a daily driver I would just disconnect the pink wire that runs from the lights to the battery if you think that is the source of the issue.

I have made many tests on those lights. If connected, they draw only 100mA for the internal electronics. From that and any other electronics in Standby on the car, it should not drain the battery in under one month of not driving it. Installed mine in July, never had one problem with them.
