Customer service still seems to be acceptable. No much fuss on me wanting a return, and they sent me a pre-paid shipping label to cover the costs when I requested one. They seem to be handling the situation as best as they can and try to keep the customer happy. I will keep an eye out for an improved version down the road and probably buy again.

Well I'm glad you were happy with the service. I called them and explained my concerns with paying full price to test the unit for them and to mod it myself after paying full price. I told them I had always had good results with their products but was very disappointed with this outing. I said that I understand things can be overlooked and would have been happy to test the unit at 50% of cost but not at full price. Since I'm in the market for a tri-bar light I suggested they sell me the tri-bar light at 30% off with free shipping and we would call it good. I accept the not ready for prime time Stobes unit and continue to test it for them and they sell me the tri bar light at a discount seemed fair. Well they replied with were sorry but the unit will function just fine now and we will sell you the tribar at a 5% discount and free shipping...lol.. That's a joke and I was offended!

Mine did that before and after the mod, thinking if your signal is on and you hit the brake you don't want the other to flash....otherwise some idiot would not know your turning.
Everything on mine works like it should, before and after the diode. I just decided to put it on because I was told it would be best.

I installed the "engineering kit" (what a joke) and now, when I turn my ignition off with the flashers on, the flashers sound very clunky like a 1960s car. is anyone else getting this?

Same thing on mine.

I wrote CD & asked this question last week & here is the response from Karen.


"As for the noise you are hearing that is normal for the turn signal relay to make that clicking sound. More than likely if you were to remove the Magic Strobes that sound would still be there."
