About 3-4 months ago I purchased an LED break light setup for my LT at my local dealer. The kit is has one master and two slave lights to replace the the bulbs in the tail light unit. They rapid blink for about 4 seconds before they come on solid. The outfit that makes them is called Gizmomill located in Canada(I think).
Now for about the first three weeks they worked just fine then all of a sudden one light (right) would not blink or even go to the bright, break on setting.
I call my dealer and they tell me to come in and they will replace it. Sounds good to me.. When I get there the service manager realizes that they don't have any in stock. The parts department tells me that Gizmomill won't return calls to them and has not sent any of the additional orders they have placed in months. I've called and emailed them a well with no response. This really tics me off...
The bottom line is if you find one on the shelf at a local vendor don't buy it.
BTW the kit was $195.....

I bought something similar for my 2000 LT from Sierra BMW. Mine work fine, but I don't think is is manufactered by that company. Good luck. jrlakin

Hey Jim,
my post was more of a rant then anything.. I think it's going to have to be one of those you just chalk up as "life experience"...

Looks like others have had issues with the kit.
