Quality aftermarket taillights

I fitted the resistors morimoto sent me. But unfortunately the hyperflash went from the left to the right. And they say the issue with the lights switching off will not be solved at all. I am really disappointed as I extra bought "high quality taillights" and not some cheap chinese stuff. Now I`ve got 500$ taillights sitting in my garage and driving around with the stock ones. To all the people with non Morimoto aftermarket LED taillights, are yours  also switching off after braking?

Bringing back an oldish thread while searching, but yes my Morimoto tails do the same. I have had them removed for over a year now because the hyperflashing and momentary shutting off after braking was annoying me.

 

If it were like any other tail light, ideally the park/tail function should stay illuminated with the turn signal/brake light applied. I have thought of disassembling the light to trace the wiring and see if there is a way of rewiring them to change this.... But this shouldn't be an issue on a $500+ set of tail lights.

 

Seems there is little info on these lights and why they are like this. I wouldn't impressed for a highly priced tail light at all.

Recon all the way, haven’t had a single issue with  them other than the price of course.

Yeah, I talked to morimoto and they told me that this issue isn`t solveable and that I had to live with it. So not that great for a 500$ taillight.
