    Hey All - I've had some issues installing the quad-lights but the issues are only on the passenger side. I'm using the TRD converter for the DRL dance. Disconnecting the converter and just using the dongle harness is an even worse option. So far, I've checked all wiring and solid connections, disconnected battery to reset everything. I'm left with 2 issues:
    1. Lock/Unlock light dance don't match.
    2. No passenger side blinking.
    I can live with #1 until I can talk with AlphaRex tech support on a weekday. But I still need to drive my truck this weekend, so I need #2!

    Any idea why driver side has no issues and blinks just fine. This tells me, it can't be a fuse, right? Anyone else using the sequential blinker mod along with AlphaRex lights? Is there a known issue or a fix you might know of?! Thanks!!

    sr/sr5 or TRD ?


    Sounds like you have connectors crossed or just a bad unit or possibly blew one of the fuses

    Alpharex has terrible quality control. It blew a fuse in my truck and then stopped working.
