Hey gents, got an issue that I wanted to see if anyone else has had...
I installed a set of Raxiom Gen5 taillights on my daughter's '08 GT while I was home on R&R. After I left, she told me her battery keeps dying. I told her there must be a constant power draw when the car is off. She noticed one night that the taillights are dimly lit, as well as her interior light. I had her take it to a shop to check the headlight/dimmer switch. They said it was fine, but then told her its the LED taillights doing it. They said they "read" on the internet there is a harness with circuit board they could order to fix it. I called them up and found they were talking about a harness that replaces the bulb harness, which in this case would defeat the purpose of the Gen5.
Has anyone had any troubles with the Gen5s? Im sure they have a built in resistor(s). Unfortunately Im in Afghanistan and cant check it out myself. Raxiom's website doesn't work, nor have they responded to my FB post on their page. I will probably send her to my friends stereo shop to see if he can figure it out. Just thought I would bounce it off the community for any thoughts...
Thanks
