Need help please

2 Attachment(s)

I bought some LED tail lights from a member and had trouble with them this past week on the tour. One row has quit working so I like to see if he can fix them. They are less than 2 year's old. All I have and can remember is his last name and where he is from.
Hinerman from Broomfield Co.
If you know his member's name please post it so I can message him please.
Thanks

Re: Need help please

If it does not work out to get in touch with him, it could be something minor like a solder joint on the back that needs repair or one of those resistors that failed.

Re: Need help please

LED's need a resistor to keep the current (amps) from burning out the device. From your picture it looks like there are several resistors clumped together near the center. Maybe each feeding a group of bulbs.

Without any thing hooked up, you might used a dvom to check each resistor for an 'open'.

Rob is making good on the lights! He is making me a new set. They will be brighter and longer lasting than before!:chevy:

Update

Got a hold of Rob on Instagram and he has mailed me a new set for 1/2 price. Very pleased with him and his customer service.
