Default Anzo rant!

My Anzo switchbacks are barely two years old, and now the right hand unit stopped blinking white to yellow and back.
@#&*%!
Okay, rant over. Carry on.

I'd recommend just checking the wire tap going from the anzo light to your blinker. Chances are, that tap is just loose is all

Nope! The plank is what I’m talking about. It won’t turn Amber/white on turn signal. Just white.

Check your wire tap going to the Anzo light from your blinker. It's probably not making a good connection. Those taps suck.

Well, if that’s the case, why does the white part blink? Also, the bulb blinks white to amber, so the power is there. I used
Posi-taps; they don’t suck.

The white part turns on from the factory connector. The amber (switchback) portion is activated from the T-Tap is why. And those T-taps are KNOWN to come loose and not make a solid connection. I always recommend you strip back part of the wire and tap it onto a bare wire for best results.

I've never ran into a Tap that DID NOT fail. The cheap T-taps, posi-taps, all of them. I've had issues with them all.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I will check the posi-tap.

Apparently, I suck, not the posi-taps. I didn’t tighten them enough. Thanks again, to Adam from 4X4LEDS.COM.
