Default LED Signal Issues

Was in the middle of doing a wire tuck on my '13 48 when I thought I would replace the front and rear incandescents with LED's from Custom Dynamics. Went ahead and got the Dynamic Ringz for the front (White/Amber) and just Red LED's for the back, also got a stabilizer. Got everything wired up and replaced no issues, everything came on and appeared to work fine. The issue I'm having is the right turn signal cuts out (Front and Rear) after you use the signal. The left continues to function fine. If you hit the brakes, both rears light up (The front still stays dropped)and if you hit the right turn signal again, they work as well but the minute you quit the turn signal they drop off again. If you turn the key off and on, they both come on again and stay lit until the turn signal is used (Doesn't happen when the brake is used). I replaced the right side with the old bulbs and there was no issue, they worked fine and didn't drop with LED's on the left. Any suggestions? I'm gonna talk to CD tomorrow, but I cant seem to figure out what could be causing this.

Since the incadescent bulb causes your taillight function on the right side to work as normal perhaps the stabilizer has issues...

I have been looking to maybe doing the same but only changing the rear for the 3 LED system - Keep us informed on the outcome..

Spent yesterday afternoon on the phone with Custom Dynamics, they couldn't figure it out either so they were going to go to a dealership today and see if they could recreate the issue or find a solution. I'll know more on Monday.

At least you're dealing with a real "stand-up" company. Their customer service has been outstanding for me. Every light on my Evo is LED. I buy from them because their lights are insanely bright & lifetime warrantied.

Talking

OK, spent about an hour with Chris from Custom Dynamics on the phone and we walked through all the setups and configurations. After everything was said and done it appears that one of the rear LED clusters has some flaw in it which was causing it to drop out and cause the other LED cluster on the same side of the bike to do the same. They are drop shipping another to me and everything should be up and running soon. All I can say is that they were great to deal with and did everything they could to solve the problem.
