Default LED halo tailight repair?

I noticed one of my lights is out in the center when i apply the brakes. Has anyone had an issue with their light(s) and sent it out for repair?

I agree with zebra. I'd send my stuff to George for repair if he was willing. Do you have the halo mod? If so a wire may have come loose. It may be a simple fix with a soldering iron.

Thanks, I'll try George see what he says.

The halo part of the light works, and a few leds of the center part work, it's just the very center of the cluster that are out on one of the 4 lights.

We repair these. Sounds like you might just need a circuit board replaced. It's rare, but does happen on occasion.

If you bought from our site we offer a 1 year repair warranty on them. No charge. If you bought from us and they're outside of the warranty we repair them for a small fee.

Contact me direct if you'd like to use our repair service
