    Maybe try reversing the polarity if you haven't already, led's are polarity sensitive. There is mention of that in the link.

    From the order page..

    Only require right connect to the positive (+) and negative (-) side. Please try to reverse the polarity of the LED light if you found that the LED light is not working properly after installation

    Mine flickered, or didn't work when I initially plugged them in. Switch/rotate em around and wiggle them into the socket until they light up and they should be good to go.... that's how mine worked out anyway. Still lighting up like champs

    Had some brake work done today, fluid flush, Centric rotors and semimetallic pads, added the Wheeler's rear brake line extension. Brakes are much more responsive.

    I'm considering getting LED reverse lights, but stories like this make me question the quality. Then again, I can't see anything with my stock lights, so things can only get better from here!


    Spent yesterday tearing apart my t cases and putting them back together. Today, I'll finish the job and go for a test drive!

    On mine, I took a clamp and squeezed the track rails on the front and rear of the seat to tighten the track. Worked for me!

    Interesting marketing... quasi-promotion of drinking beer while recovering vehicles/using winches.

    I'm not sure since I didn't think to weigh it, but I put it on by myself so I would say less than 100 lbs.
