technostalgia tail light issue

Hey Fellow Camaro Owners,

I just got these technostalgia taillights installed and had an issue.

My far left tail light middle LED row is always lit. See picture

It also looks different when blinking see video

When I turn the car off it goes into show mode I think but only that one tail light. See video

I have no idea what the issue is has anyone had this problem or knows what is going on. Thanks.

Never seen that before but I suggest checking ALL the connections and ensuring everything is seated properly.

Try pulling or removing the inline fuse for a few moments. If all wiring is done correctly, this may correct the problem.

Did most install the lights themselves as I had a professional do it and have had NO issues with the lights and love them. OPERATOR or should i say possibly an installer error?

I have a set on the way to me and should see them very soon. I'm pretty confidant that the amount of lights which work correctly definitely outweighs the handful of problems I have read about. Time will tell. By the way, I like your signature pic of Denis Leary.

Maybe there should be a thread started for people who have been trouble free.

Further inspection of my one Possessed tail light looks like it has water in it. Would this be an installer flaw or product flaw? Thanks for the feedback guys
