Default Anyone had a problem with VRD's third brake light kit?

This is the 3rd smoked TBL they've sent me that doesn't work. The OEM TBL works perfectly fine. I don't even know what to do now..

Check to see if the wires are in right.... that and see if you can plug in a 12v power suply to it to make it turn on. If the wiring is wrong from the factory, it will mean you have to rewire it. Good Luck!

When I got my VRD tbl, the casing broke in 2. Their seal sucks. Other than that, no issues.

the wiring connector on my VRD tbl was loose and didnt make a firm connection with the factory wiring, so I cut it off and hard wired it. no problems since.

Led Headz page seems kind of vague. I used Oznium myself. Tempted to rework my OEM TBL into a running light with CCFL and about twice the count of LED's as the Oznium TBL. Any thoughts?

nah.. I figured it out.. the TBL they sent me was wired incorrectly. Green goes with Blue and the other two White wires go together (tc's harness and tbl harness)... but.... the TBL had it backwards, I'm just waiting to see if VRD sends me another one wired correctly [Note.. this has been an issue since april of this year]

my vrd tbl seal was bad, plus there was this weird groove down the middle of mine. So I took their lense off and put the factory lense one and hella sealed it... works great! Oh and the terminals were bent when I got mine, but I straightened them...
