I just installed mine in the garage last night. I haven't started the engine yet, but with the ignition key on all of the lights are working as they should with no codes.
I'll actually drive it today and will report back if I get any errors as other have mentioned that they got the errors only after driving for a little bit.
Thanks Ray!

Ray,
Glad to you hear you had success with your troubleshooting and testing. Considering this issue has affected so many cars, you may want to post the fix in this open forum for everybody to see and reference.
Thanks,
Jay

The DRLs looks absolutely amazing! Thanks Ray. Will begin testing them later. Fingers cross..hopefully no error codes. In the meantime, I had a little trouble figuring out how the heck to install the DRL but after some reading it was too simple. Anyhow, I made a short video on how to do it. Hope this helps.
Second. Was hoping to get this fixed today.

I installed mine last night with the car in the garage and all functionality was working correctly with no error codes.
Today I drove about 40 miles all over town with the fogs on and still no codes.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will let everyone know if I see any codes.

I did further investigation today on the LEFT DRL:
1) per your advise, I turn the white connector around. With this change, the middle element of the DRL module no longer works, even when the light switch is turned on. As such, my original connection was correct, which turn the middle element on.
2) With the white connector in the correct position, there are 2 issues:
a) there is a warning 'Check front left light 'on the dash
b) the middle element will turn on for a few seconds whenever I lock/unlock the car. ( this does not happen for the RIGHT DRL)
2) I swap out the white connector and replace with the original parking bulb. With this change, the park light works normally. There is no warning message on the dash when I turn on the lights.
With the above tests, I would conclude that the the LEFT DRL is faulty.

After confirmation that the LEFT DRL is faulty, Ray sent me a replacement unit.
I received it over the weekend. With the replacement unit, there is no warning light on dash and everything works as expected.
Kudos to Ray for his great aftersale service to address my issues and his prompt response time!!!
PS: I would suggest to anyone that if you are having issue with one of the DRL, do swap it around to test and confirm if the issue remains on the faulty side.
Just like to update all on my issue.

Quick update, I just installed the lights. Thanks to coco's video the install took 10 minutes and was a breeze. I left the car running for 10 minutes and no error codes yet....yet....yet. I also turned on the hazard lights and no issues. I will drive the car this week and report back.
I must say, they look amazing. The quality looks fantastic and really upgrades the look of the car. I love them, thanks Ray!
I hope no errors but will advise!

I had a very interesting conversation with a fella from china, and all I can say is if you all knew the markup on these lights you would be much more pissed off.
At the price point these are selling at I would expect no issues and stellar service, not secret emails

I installed my ROTtec fronts last night (they do look fantastic!) & I got the error today. :-/ I'm having the same experience as many here - the lights work as expected in all light positions. I am also getting the red exclamation point--but no narrative code--and then the exclamation point will disappear/reappear on its own.
Hopefully there is a simple fix (Ray, YGM). Here is a pic of the error message:
