Well, this issue is still on-going. The latest response from JDP is that we may be looking at my RF Controller crapping out. Does anyone know where I can order another controller from, other than the obvious with JDP themselves. I'm waiting for Jeremy to let me know if he can send me another controller.

I think that's what was wrong with mine. I noticed at the first Camarofest here back in 2012 my lights did not do what their demo car was doing and I brought it to their attention and they ended up giving me the box from another kit which solved my issue. In essence I had functions that just didn't work. I had the basic color changes and the 3 and 7 color jump and flash but no auto and no random.
They were unable to remove the bad box and asked me to send it to them when I got the time but since then I traded that car with the lights and when I was going to try to remove the box I was told they have a new box by another vendor and it wasn't needed. I have the lights on my new car and it's a none issue, they work perfect but what's weird is that yours worked fine until you disconnected prior to that show you were in so I'm not so sure what's going on with yours......

turn the inside switch off or to the middle position, then push and hold the up and down buttons on the remote at the same time. When you do this you should see a flash from the halos. Keep hold those buttons down for about 10 secs and then turn the switch to the on position and that is the position that allows them to come on with ignition and then release the buttons on the remote.

What chozn said. This usually works for me as well.

Not having the remote in front of me, I'm referring to the two buttons on the upper left of the remote. They may be the up and down buttons but yes, they are white. Push and hold them down at the same time and then turn the switch to the off position, wait 10 sec's and then push the switch into the ignition position while continuing to hold the buttons down and then release. The RF box is now reprogrammed.

Try throwing it against a wall and taking a piss on it. Worked for me! The remote may not work anymore, but the frustration will be gone. Night Owl upgrade..

Yeah was hoping JDP would respond. I have been looking at the Night Owl.

They were great working with me getting both my remote and control module replaced, but they just started acting up again a few months later. First colors mismatched, then they started flashing at random times, and then both..

They look great and I get a lot of compliments, but sure would be nice to avoid all the headaches they cause. Red works right now (only color without issues) and I just switch them on when I want, but I don't dare mess with the remote anymore at this point. Doing the NightOwl upgrade myself soon.

A white to match my fogs would be awesome and I've heard with the NO kit you can choose any color (as well as shade of color) you'd like.
