I drove up to Sacramento today and decided to give them a workout. I ran my 997.1 car with DRL on, and found after about 100 miles that I got several "check front right light" warnings. I attempted to troubleshoot things as I drove. First, I turned off the DRL function when on a break and then selectively turned things on at dusk. I started with the running lights and the 'fogs' on (no headlights) so that I could see if they were working when I trailed a nice reflecting vehicle. Despite the occasional warnings the lights never faltered--the running lights, the fogs, nor turns. So, it is apparent that something in the voltage department is generating enough of a voltage issue to throw a code. Temp was around 50ºF and elevation 0-800 ft. Clear, no rain (moisture). I am pleased that they appear to work well, but the occasional code alert can become a pain and a distraction. Sometimes I found that I would get a red exclamation point--but no narrative code--and then the exclamation point will disappear on its own.

Those of us with these need to help Ray troubleshoot this. Hopefully the fix is simple.

Thanks Dan. That is good information to know.
Seems like a lot of people are having these issues. I can't help but wonder if the people that aren't having these issues have driven their cars for any distance. I plan on installing mine today and will report back.

The white plug is 12v and 0.2Watt ~ does anyone know if this is the correct wattage that is suppose to be running thru?

Has anyone heard from someone with the DECTAIN lights to see if they are the exact same lights

Can anyone that knows someone with the DECTAIN lights please ask them what the wattage running thru the white plug is?

Ray said he is doing some testing this weekend im sure he will chime in soon with a fix or some solution. (I hope)

The dectain lights are the same lights from what I was told.

lopro

id be interested to know if the customers that bought the lights from dectain are having the same issues.

Dan,

I installed mine and in the last two days have driven about 80 miles. So far I haven't thrown any errors yet. I've been driving with the fogs on just to see if there were any problems. Still all clear.

pissedpuppy

can't see a diff

lopro

so ray found a fix then?

ELUSIVE

Same here.
Installed them last night and drove all over the place today with the fogs on. No codes yet. Really like the look of these lights.

lopro

i think its time we make a poll to see how many people have errors, how many have no probs

how many people are having lights going on and off.

How many are scared they will burn down the car and so on..

ELUSIVE

We probably should have a poll, but it would have to be on 6speed. I don't think enough people on Rennlist bought them.

What I can say is the look of them is fantastic. The look very cool.

lopro

oh I agree, they look great but if they start having issues then>?

ELUSIVE

Then i'll be pissed. :-)
Sounds like Ray is standing behind his product and sending people replacements. I wonder how many of those he can actually do though. I like these lights and want to keep them. I hope things continue to work for many of us.

well i can say i put them on everything works well no codes but i have not driven the car as its in storage for the winter , one thing i noticed once you install them i used the credit card to take them out and they are not coming out has anyone install the lights and then remove them .

Mb7000

I read on the other forums that you will need to use two cards doubled up,to remove the aftermarket lights.

Hope that helps.

I'll search for the posts
