Default PIAA 1100X Failure update...

Folks,

Seems like more than a few of us have had these bad boyz
fail recently. Turns out if you have a relay PLF5A (or something
very close to that) that there was a design problem with it and
if you email / call PIAA, they will send you a replacement,
no charge (at least mine wasn't :)).

Hope this info helps!

Guys,

Just an update. I just received my free replacement part for the relay from PIAA. It is not the same one, seems they redesigned it. It is however plug-n-play, so you don't need to change anything.

Good luck!

Who did you talk to about getting the free replacement relay?

Thanks,
