have all the issues been resolved now and shipping again?

if the strobing hasnt been fixed, has anyone tried these types of devices? They worked great on my motorcycles that have led and incandesent bulbs mixed.

The LCI lights don't need a flasher, the strobing is caused because of the LCM sending a pulse to check if the bulbs are blown. Ofcourse in our case the LEDs are picking up the quick strobing and lighting up.

I had tried to talk to the group buy seller, and no more group buy price. The price now is about $500 - $600 per set. Then we are all waiting for the adapter cable from Bruce. Without the cable, the taillight won't work.

Thanks for the cable Bruce! You're the best!! I love the look. Been waiting so long for it.

I love shipping from UK too, I got it on tuesday and you send it out Monday.

I'll take some pics this weekend and show everyone.



Also, Should I make sure the cables work for two weeks first and then send back the olds ones? Is that a good enough timespan?

I got it from him before and was one of the few people that bought the second version from him too a while back.



I'm not sure if he's still selling the cable. Your best bet is to PM him.

He is still selling the cable. I PM him last week. However, he is waiting for parts to make cable for us ..
