[QUOTE="killswitch engage, post: 1016349, member: 12935"] So I had the Recon smoked red tail lights in my Raptor. Up until about two weeks ago, I had no issues, but then the driver's side turn signal began to hyperflash. I contacted Recon and they sent me new resistors saying that was my problem. I never installed them, as that was only part of the issue. The existing resistors and wire connectors were in terrible shape. The white connector (sorry no pic) that connects to the stock harness was completely rotted out and the resistors were pretty corroded. I spliced all the connector wiring on the back of the light and used heat shrink to seal the splice. For the resistors, I pulled out the resistor pack, cleaned the circuit board pads with a dremel and small wire brush, then re-soldered all the resistors to the board. This solved all my issues. The extra resistors Recon sent will be installed next time the resistor pack corrodes to the point of not working. Figured this might help a few people out since I see lots of complaints and not many solutions. [/QUOTE]
