But if the brake lights don't pulse w/o the pods on and the fuel pump running why would they do it with them on?

Guess you never heard back from the manufacturer?

Seems these are the possibilities:

1. The unit works as it's supposed to
2. The unit is defective
3. You connected it to the wrong wire(s)
4. Bad ground/bad ground wire
5. Unit not designed to work for your specific bike.

 

My incadecents work fine either way, its only the EPs (I dont know if thats what you meant...)
I tried many different wiring configs, same results...I'll try a microrelay in, and if that dont work, I'll have to agree with #5 (although its supposed to be a "universal" kit...)
Two emails to StreetFx, not even a "**** off".....I will be doing aux lighting under bike and over motor later this summer...I can guarantee who I WON'T be using
