Author Message   Jimmy77 Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 09:36 am:        I was excited at first, but worried I waisted my money! I just received my second one as a replacement to the first I received a couple weeks ago. Neither one of them give me break lights. What gives? It's installed on a 97 M2.   Jimmy77 Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 11:35 am:        Back order again until Mid November!!!!   Rah7777777 Posted on Thursday, November 08, 2007 - 09:06 pm:        Does the factory (bulb) light work okay? IF so, your connection is not good or there is an internal problem on there boards. 2 bad apples in a row is odd, but possible.   Jimmy77 Posted on Friday, November 09, 2007 - 12:10 pm:        Factory bulb works fine...   Rah7777777 Posted on Friday, November 09, 2007 - 06:31 pm:        well if thats the case, your down to #1 bad connection, but I HIGHLY doubt thats your problem especially since you have been swapping these things like crazy. so that leads #2 to be a more viable option. #2 they have an open in there boards somewhere. maybe the guy with the solder gun was tired that morning I hope you get it resolved, if not come see me at www.xblights.com   Jimmy77 Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 11:44 am:        I guess I'm just an idiot! I finally received my 3rd light. This is from a brand new batch I'm assuming since it was on back order for a month. I plug it in and no F-ing break light so I call again. Get transfered to someone for technical assistance. He's perplexed and puts me on hold for a minute and comes back. Tells me to pull out the light and spin it 180 degrees so that the two nipples slide into the opposite groove and plug it in again. I did and it worked... WTF! I plugged in 3 different lights at least 20 times. Its almost statistically impossible that every single time I had the light oriented the same way (the wrong way). It's a freaking light socket, does polarity really matter? I appreciate the guys and Clear Alternatives for putting up with me and keep sending me lights. I feel like I've been doing this with them for the last month...   Pkforbes87 Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2008 - 11:11 am:        There's a resistor(s) at one end of the circuit board to regulate the voltage supplied to the LEDs. There must be a diode at the other end to prevent current from getting to the LEDs without passing through that resistor.
