I did not work for me nor were the instructions at all helpful. Sorry. I think you should send it back.

I just bought and returned mine. I got a 350 dollar ticket here in the US with it operating! I wouldn't trust this "new" model ANYWHERE. People may lie the new look or fancy lights, but until you have actually SEEN it protect you, or fail, it is all speculation. It failed.

Navigate until you see "English" or something. I found it within a minute. The camera will be "ON" however, the screen goes black so you don't look like a weirdo then your driving at night :)

I never got the headlight that I am missing. Im still waiting in that and have all the emails saved replying that it was going to be sent to me. Is it too latw to send it back & get my refund?

You have to relocate it to a place that is visible and has a light. My vehicle had an alternate location to the side that works fine.

Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse. I tested this switch with an Ohm meter when I installed the shifter and then again a few weeks ago, thinking I missed something on the first go around. All I have been able to determine is that Park allows the ignition circuit to engage and reverse operates the back up lights. Honestly, I am not real thrilled with my Sports Shifter for this and a few other quality issues (like reverse doesn't freely engage - almost have to ratchet into reverse, Can get "Park" to line up with the indicator but then each gear down is misaligned). Sorry wasn't more help

i hope that you might have just got a lemon. I have had mine on over a year now and it works really great...enough where i was just thinking that for how bright and area it covers i am going to get another. So i contact the manufacturer and let them know see if they can either help you or replace it. I take it you did get it to work so you did turn it on with key given to do just that...and in area where you get sun fairly often right? Even in winter it works all night and live in area where snows and gets mainly only afternoon light...about 4 or 5 hours. Hope this helps you....i am sorry it is not working. hope they replace it, or figure out what is wrong. good luck i hope that you might have just got a lemon.

If you can contact the manufacturer and ask them and post it, I would like to know the answer also. I have turned mine off and re-configured the lights to a different position where they would not be over the sensor, or close to one another and the strobing stopped at least temporarily. I would try that, but also call the manufacturer and ask them what they would suggest, and maybe they have a permanent solution.

I just recently had my screen replaced and the technician said the install went great but (and there always seems to be a but) he is having trouble getting the backlight to work. The screen is on but dark. He is trying to figure out a solution.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

I have had this problem a few times. After the cussing and the startle response have settled down, I slapped it back on and pushed it extra hard, that seems to work. I also noticed that the little light on the front never comes on, so I'm wondering if the unit is simply defective.

This lights don't move at all? They just change colors? IT might be broken. Press menu twice and the lights turn off then use the cryptic sheet that came with it and the up and down buttons to get it to say A7. There are SO many settings that you may not have even hit the right one yet. I'm no expert at all on this I'm just trying to help. My lights move on the ceiling and change colors.

Haven't heard whether the factory addressed the problem. Mine still works fine, 'knock on wood'. I bought mine a year ago, knowing about the problem. I keep the backlight turned off in hopes that it preserves the life of the display. I've only used the charger maybe 10-12 times, however. I still don't recommend spending the xtra $$ on this unit because it did nothing to preserve my optima batteries. And it doesn't even have an engine start mode.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

I had a similar problem. I called it ground feedback. No one else heard of it. When I put these in I get a faint glow on the dash turn signal indicators and the front turn signal lamps are also glowing slightly. This was with a pair of cheap knock off lamps installed. I am going to try the JDM Lamps to see if better quality makes any difference.

Hi Eugene, have bought the same unit, no problem so far. The blue light glows whilst it is charging. I would suggest checking you do not have a faulty battery first, all the battery polarities are correct otherwise it sounds like a fault in the lamp controller. Good luck! Apart from being a little heavy and not particularly pretty this is a great bike lamp, actually lights up the road.
