I received my Dectane rear tail lights yesterday. I installed them immediately. The good news is that they look fantastic!
The bad news is that I immediately received an error code. – (see image)

Here is a description of what happens:
Upon left turn indication only -
·From the inside, the error code appears and the blinking/noise begins to flash in quick succession (much faster than normal).
·From the outside - the indicator appears to be working correctly - lights work and flash correctly.

This DOES NOT occur on the right turn indicator at all.

I did not install the resistor boxes - but since it is not happening on the right side, I did not believe this could be the problem.

Anyone had any experience with this issue?
I have contacted Orange Tuning Directly - I will post their response to the issue when they respond.

check the connectors... That happened to me... exactly as you described; and one of the lights had a connector loose. It's not a connector that goes to the car's wiring, it's a cable connector from the lamp that connects to another cable from the lamp itself. My car is a 2005 and I didn't use the supplied resistors, since the lights have built-in resistors...

 

Had the same thing happen. Did you start the car after the installation? Turn it all the way off, then on. If that doesn't work, install both resistors and it should go away.

Thanks for the tip. I took out the light and by playing with the wires I narrowed it down to one loose connection. Unfortunately the connection seems loose inside the plastic connector housing. I was able to set off the error code by shifting the wire back and forth as it enters the housing. I may be able to fix it myself but I am just thinking why should I have to - these are brand new. Anyway, I got it to where it seemed to be working consistently and I will have to just see how it goes. Thanks again for the advise.
