Avoid Opt7

Updated title: Use caution when buying Opt7 Arrow Sequential Mustang LED Front Turn Signal Pair w/Switchback DRL for 15-17 if you have a 2016 Mustang GT. Opt7 themselves seem like good people

I purchased Opt7 Arrow Sequential Mustang LED Front Turn Signal Pair w/Switchback DRL for 15-17 - White Amber Light Left Right [Smoked] for my 2016 Mustang GTPP 7 months ago. Ever since I installed the lights they do not sequence properly unless my headlights are on. When the headlights are off the turn signal lights sequence erratically which are a hazard to other drivers and flat out embarrassing.

Update: Opt7 contacted me through my original case from last year and explained that all their new inventory should fix this problem. I'm going to give it one more try... really tired of swapping out these lights. My hands hurt lol

this looks like a better solution

Those look nice, no name brand or reviews? Wondering how close the white is to the headlights.

You can A. Solve the problem yourself, Google it...

B. Use one of the handfuls of alternative products, morimoto, ijdm, or any of the other rebranded ones on AliExpress.

C. What's wrong with the DiodeDynamics ones? They are actually the ones that are made in the USA. Have an unbeatable warranty and support process and won't have components that will slowly die..

DD is shit quality. Constantly break and pop out of the socket. Great customer service, sure, but I'm tired of changing out lights.

Opt7 promises me this new set will work, we'll see

I'm hoping it works out for you. I have Opt7's but I am hesitant to install because of all the issues. I will probably go with diodes and DD harness to make them work as they should. Opt7 did send the "resistor" harness that they say fixes issues, but I don't see that solving of them being on, white, under normal driving conditions.

Got a new set in the mail and tried them out today...same issue as before :(

I got these from CJPP. Put them in this summer, simple plug n play installation, works great, passed inspection this month. https://www.cjponyparts.com/shelby-...-light-kit-v6-ecoboost-gt-2015-2017/p/FGLA68/

I had a feeling that would happen...so frustrating. Now to get them to work properly, we have to spend more money. So it's the diodes and DD harness for me then.

I was having an issue with mine popping out multiple times so I emailed DD just to let them know my dissatisfaction, even though I purchased from LMR. They sent me a brand new set with revised connector two days later, as well as a return slip for the old ones. Best customer service experience I’ve had with aftermarket parts. Best of all, they stay in the socket and are an excellent match to the factory lighting.

Opt7 has decided to refund me even though I'm outside of the 60 day return period. I plan on sending the newest set back
Oh well, guess I will try the ones Blade007 posted. Not a fan of the 2018+ versions

The one listed above is pretty new but it gives you the switchbacks.
The one I have is this https://www.americanmuscle.com/morimoto-smoked-xb-sequential-led-turn-signals-1517.html
This one appears amber and not white and works without the car running.
I was able to snag a pair for $185 brand new from ebay and have had them on for over a year now

 

[randotheking]

So just watched videos of about everything out there and I'm not really sold on any of the styles/price.

I think I may just convert the stock bulbs to LEDs, assuming they match nicely with the fogs/headlights.

I actually had the same issues with the lights on my 2015 model. Told them about it and said theres something different with 2015s, idk. I just got a refund. They were the smoked versions i bought.

I actually bought another mustang with the OPT7s already installed. 2016 GTPP. They look to be the original clear housing ones and they work flawlessly. Lights on or off.
