My modeling lights don't work. When I flick the switch on the back of the light head I get nothing. Am I missing a step?

Nope that's the norm for these lights! check the fuse by the plug first, go to radioshack for new fuses. i had 2 of these lights that pop'ed and sparks came out I contacted the company, they sent me 2 new light heads opened the box 1 st one worked the 2nd one was dead on arrival it never ends with these! Lol so far I have 2 out of three that haven't given me issues in the last 2-3 months

Did you install the bulb? They're annoying uninstalled out-of-the-box. Look for small white boxes about the size of baby carrot. The bulbs just push into the center of the strobe. If you installed the bulb, then you'll probably need to contact Fotodiox for warranty service.

Check if the bulb included in the package was put in. It's fairly easy to miss as this is a small part

I do not believe you are missing a step. I had issues where two of the heads failed, one overheated so bad there was oil dripping out. I reached out to Fotodiox and they replaced both heads with no cost and no hassle. So my advise would be to contact them, they appear to be very responsive.

I bought my light set thru amazon and a couple of fuses were constantly popping. I called Fotodiox and they had me send them back. They sent me some replacements but I had to keep calling them and asking them where my lights were. Be sure to keep your tracking number handy when you ship them back in case you have to babysit like I did. Check your fuses first and make sure they're good. Also, double check your power cable connection.

right out of box one of the two lights I purchased did not light. I had to return. it was the model available prior to the model in picture. don't know if it was damaged in shipping? if you need to get another to match other ones purchased act quickly, they have limited production runs and the style will probably change. the model in picture has day light sensor, so even in low light it may not light even if you put your finger over round sensor on top of lamp. hope this helps you

Mine work wonderfully in a regular light (with adaptor). I don't have and ideas to help, sorry.

You have to make sure you are connected to the reverse light circuit. Also check the polarities maybe.

Try using different DMX channel modes on the lights. Some lights default to 7 channel mode, but the lighting controller wants them to be in 4 channel mode, for example.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

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.

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've had the same problem. At first, I took it out and put it back in but after a few times of doing that, it didn't work any longer. I also tried turning the switch on and off and that worked at first, but alas, no more. For this much money, can't Mattel get it right?

This was a failed project for me, one of my 2 controllers died, There were times one of 2 lights worked. I might have my controller on one side of my 220 line and the sockets on the other side. What I can tell you is that manually turning the lights on with the switch in the garage, they don't come on. I think "Francois" has answered the question for us. If I saw his thoughtful answer before I started to respond, I might not have replied. Thank you Francois.

i havent been able to get the LEDs in my headlights to turn on. Not sure if they just dont work or if im not wiring them correctly some how. The headlights have been great otherwise, just wish the LEDs worked.

Push the button at the back of the light. The problem for me was the light only had the one mode, constant blinking. Good luck.

Try with the switch on the light assembly in all positions, if still not working recheck the wiring connections. After that I would probably follow procedures for returning a defective unit.

Maybe you have the conections inverted, try to switch the + and the - poles and try again, when is charging the blue led does flash and if the poles are inverted does not light

I had zero light function on my car. The part fixed that. I had a mechanic friend tell me that every light control went through the OEM light controlmodule andthat it can be hit or miss as to what circuits don't work when that fails. But I am no mechanic. Good luck!
