Modified LED Tails w/Halo
Greetings - Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. I installed new LED tails, modified with the halos. My wife was following me the other day and noticed the halo in one of the tails fails to light. She also thought two of the lights were a bit less bright than the other two. I'm going to check connections but again, any thoughts on what my problem may be?
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you installed NEW units, I'd suggest sending them back and asking for replacements. I had one arrive DOA and the vendor sent a replacement that same day. I'm not sure you want to try to disassemble these things, and risk damaging them if you have other recourse.

Do this. The lights should be warranted for a period of time.

I agree with the others. If you just bought them new, the vendor will likely replace the defective taillight. I would contact the vendor.
