Geez, thats bad to hear and to think I've been on the edge of ordering the kit for the last month but keep delaying because of the talk about the headache wiring it up and the possibly flimsy turn signal lights. It looks very cool especially with the zard exhaust and now you post this.

I dont suppose you've contacted them and they have offered a fix or replacement have they?

Am I thinking rightly in that you had to cut the stock wiring connector and so cant easily go back to the stock unit?

I don't know what it is with LED tail lights and motorcycles, but every aftermarket component with the three letters L-E-D in it seems to stop working after 500 miles or so in some way or another... &%@#*(&@#

Got the Mad Doctor indicators. Look very nice but seem very flimsy. Didn't bother to fit them on.
If you do go the route, forget all the wiring and resistor nightmares. Just wire 'em in normally and fit a LED specific relay.

I managed to wire them up fine.. well it took a while... but now i have the dreaded 500 mile burn out...

When I installed the mad doctor kit,I attempted to use the oem connectors.Finished all the wiring,and my running light would not work.Checked everything over and over again.Still nothing.It turns out I may have been a little rough with my oem connector and the running light hot wire was broken inside of it. Scrapped the oem and everything was fine.

So,if the running light doesn't work,check your connectors.

Let me just update you on this !!

Turns out it was a simple wiring issue... I will say that the connector block they supply is not the best.. it's suitable for the smaller guage of wire in NOT the larger guage used by Triumph.. I.E it works well with the mad doctor wires but not the triumph ones so basically you get a nice secure connection from the mad doctor stuff but the Triumph ones don't connect in as well... ah well.. just going to have to get a decent replacement connector..
