It sucks too wrap almost 3 k in a set of lights and run into this. Just to be clear I'm not bashing Robert he seems like a heckuva nice guy but I am A little shocked that we don't have this figured out by now. Period I have unhook these things seven times in the past week and rewired them to make sure there isn't something wrong on my end

I don't blame you. I would never buy from/recommend someone who can't offer some sort of support other than just being on my side...
Sucks man....I've heard good things about that guy's work. I mean it looks nice but it has to work. Maybe it's something as simple as needing to install a load resistor on each side of the line. Some LEDs have problems with factory systems if they do not have a load resistor installed.
Look it up online and on ebay. Something like LED in line Load Resistor and why you need it on some applications. You'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not saying it's THE FIX for your problem but it's a place to start. They are cheap to buy..... Hope, somehow, that helps...

Do you have a picture of the back of these lights? Is it just a 3157 bulb stuck in there or is it some kind of strip with wires?

Have you taken a meter and figured out whats what from your truck and then taken a 12v battery to the led?

Whats the wiring look like? Possible relay issue. Sounds like its not getting the signal it needs when the power is running full time.
Traced it down something is wrong with the led if u wire the led opposite park and turn it will work , but if u wire it the way it should be as u seen in the video doesn't work. All that just to also find out I also got a faulty harness with the kit time to start from scratch
well, I'm sure somewhere down the road someone burned him on a replacement item and never sent theirs in and forced him to invoke that policy. But anyhow, at least you've tracked down the problem, sucks it's on your dime and time though.
