The FM interference is very annoying. The selective yellow seems bright enough though.

Usually static means a bad ground. Does the static rev with the rev of the engine?
I appreciate Paul jumping in with updates here and there but October timeframe seems a little beyond acceptable. Not even sure what your first timeframe was?
I have a Plat so Im happy with my factory lights but if those Morimoto lights are plug and play, might be time to jump ship. I dont think I recall hearing any problems with MMs. I personally cant justify paying thousands of dollars for lights tho....
Probably not a ground.... its only the FM frequency caused by lower quality LED's

yours seem brighter than mine for sure.... but I still don't like that it doesn't fan out to the sides very much ....just cuts off

I may try to adjust the fog lights and take more pictures on a level road tonight.

Those of you with the headlights working and installed, how are they?

Looking like these harnesses are not coming any time soon. I've heard "1-2 weeks" for 3 weeks now. I'm planning on returning and getting away from this nonsense on Friday of this week if there's still no update, gonna go with OEM + harness.

How do these Elite fogs compare to their SS3 Fog light kit?

Different products so the elite fogs will not be as bright. They are OEM style fogs don't forget and not pod lights, which pack more light.

Installed my elite series headlights yesterday with the new updated harness.

Passenger light was dead besides the side orange marker light.

Right side worked but the DRL flickered.

Pulled them off, initiated a return on the order and ordered OEM projectors and a high beam+low beam harness.

No more aftermarket lighting for me.

Wow, you'd think they would be testing all these replacements before they left...

I should have tried swapping the harnesses just to see but I was too frustrated to deal with it anymore after a few hours of work installing them. I'm glad to be done with it as soon as I get this return done.

I don't think they're a bad company, in fact I've heard nothing but good things about their off road lighting. But this release was a disaster. Wasted time and money for us customers.

sounds like my problems with LED tails, aftermarket. Two sets of Alpharex and two Morimotos, all hyperflashed.
So tinted factory tails.

Perhaps the lights themselves are the issue?
