I too lost LED's on mine about 4 months after i put them in, No warranty and the dealer was no help. i don't think i will be buying another set especially since i am not the only one who has had this problem.

I know it and I would try them except they didn't go with the overall design I was going for. I tried to powder coat black but couldn't do that due to the plastic parts attached. So, I sanded, primed and painted and after 4 coats - got them looking good. I then had them clear coated when they finished painting my tank. It turned out darn nice <IMHO>

HD LED's will and do go out. I have the skull cap and gauge on mine. 6 months after I installed them, after washing the bike, a couple LED's burned out. I called zanottis where I bought them and they switched them for me. So far so good on the second set. It's a shame that the are so expensive and are so faulty.

But, the black flush mounts look very cool.

Common problem with these. I am on my third set. On inspection of the second set the LED's where not burned out, the soldering had cracked causing loss fault.

I see you have a Black Denim bike. I was wondering how the black flush mounts look and if you have any pics.
