SLC IR/8
I've had a set of them (smoked red) for 2 months. After the first couple of weeks I had to get one replaced under warranty due to it holding a couple inches of water after a rain. Understandable, stuff happens.
Even with stock front signal bulbs, they would randomly work fine and sometimes not. The left side worked more often than the right side. They would never flash correctly when my parking lights were on, only when they were off. I even attempted to install a load resistor on the front signal in an attempt to get them to flash correctly all the time. I finally just gave up and put my stock lights back on, everything flashes perfectly again.
I know others had good luck with Spyder, but not so with me. I'd assume it's the load resistors that are mounted on the back of them, but IMO it's pretty unlikely for a resistor to fail. I contacted them a week or so ago to send them back and get fixed or a set that actually does work. Their response was that they are out of warranty and nothing they can do. Apparently they have a 30 day warranty, with a company that won't stand behind their product for more than 30 days is pretty ******. First and last time I'll deal with them, told them the same thing and I'll make sure others know about they're awesome standards.
In a last effort to get them working, I ordered two pairs of 6ohm 50w resistors and will put one on each tail light socket. Don't know why I'm wasting anymore time and money with them, but WTH... I'd really like to have LED tails.
