Yep -- mine was the exact same way. Good luck on the harness.

I would have to hit the bottom of my dash to jar it, but eventually I got tired of it so I ripped it open and fixed the loose connection myself. I don't know how long it will last though...

My two cents. Either way -- it's an easy fix. If you ordered the headlights and they were advertised as working without a hyperflash harness I would advise going to the distributor and asking for a harness shipped to you free of charge. The lights should work as advertised.
Depending on you order date, you may still be covered under warranty. If not, it's possible there may be an issue with the flasher component. A replacement 3-prong LED flasher can be picked up from most auto parts stores to replace the faulty one if you're in a hurry to fix it.

Thanks George. I didn't bring the issue up to you because each time it began happening I was usually able to fix it for months at a time by simply knocking the little flasher black box thing around. Something was obviously loose. It wasn't until maybe 4 months ago that the issue wouldn't go away. I opened the box up and realized that when I bent the board a little the problem would go away. I tried to figure out exactly where loose connection was but nothing was obvious. I ended up wedging a piece of cardboard in it to keep it bent and working and I haven't had any issues since. If it stops working again (possible) I may end up grabbing one local. Can you tell me the exact part I would need (the little three prong box)?

I have to totally agree with you on this. I bought my halo LED's from JWMotoring and then I sent those off to RadioFlyer for his sequencing mod. I get lots of compliments and people want to know where I got them. I love the look of the lightly tinted halo tail lights.

I like the LED lights, however I have been told there is not a set for my car, which has European rears.
If this is not correct, and they are available, I'd like to know where to get them from and if it's just a straight swap?

Regards

Just got my halo led tails installed. What a huge upgrade over the stock units. Big thanks to George at Radioflyer for getting me the hyperflash relay. Now I'm ready for some clears on the front with some switchbacks.
