how do you turn on the leds? manual says they come on automatically in low light. mine don't.

Mine turns on with the car adapter it doesn't turn on with battery because the battery doesn't last. If it doesn't turn on with the adapter correctly then feel free to return it.

Mine come on automatically... See what I meant by no-existent quality control?

The screen comes on automatically when device is on. The led will work if you tap the power butten, do not hold it. Holding it turn it onan off a tap will turn the sun on display to a moon. You will not see the light and it will not work to well in total darkness. The headlights on your car help brighton what the carma see. However quilty is still poor at best you will beable to use it to see who coused the problem this is not an HD this is not a Go-Pro.

The LEDs on these cameras are basically worthless. They have a range ofonly 20 feet +/-. They usually reflect back from the windshield making any shots even worse. "Night vision"? Not hardly.

Go into the settings mode and it gives the option for the LED lights there. Once est they some on Auto as required. Only problem is it does, depending on vehicle installed in, cause reflection off the inside windshield causing picture quality to become more difficult to see detail. This was my experience, however, it may be different in your vehicle, mine is in a Ford F250 truck.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

At the bottom where the batteries are inserted, just keep turning the bottom and the lights should go on. Had difficulty with one of mine and switched the brand of battery, and while it needs twisted and untwisted until I find just the right spot, it works.

Sounds like you may have them wired into a two way switch (something that would turn on regular lights then when turned off, it sends the power to the LED lights). Its difficult to assist since I don't know how you wired them or where you spliced the hot (red) wire into.

What if you have one more light, WHAT?How do you hook them up? I put all the red wires together and all the black wires together and hook them to power. Red to positive and black to ground. OR I hook up a positive thru the switch I'm using, and a ground from the battery then I "tap" into each with the LED strip wires. You HAVE TO WIRE THEM CORRECTLY RED TO POSITIVE, BLACK TO NEGATIVE OR THE LED WON'T WORK AT ALL. Its not like a regular light bulb that can be wired in reverse. Hope all this mess helps you.

We have the same problem. Turn on, count one, and lights turn on. An LED thing?

the switch on the bottom of the case. press it down till the LED turns off. do the same to turn it back on.

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

Hmm I have the same ones and they work perfect for me. It sounds like you may want to try to get your waranteed. When all the led's are lit these are super bright.

I bought them too. The batteries are probably dead. A similar thing happened to me. Mine lasted a couple of weeks with occasional use. Because they are "wireless", the system is always active even though the lights aren't on, looking for a signal to come on. Had I known of the short battery life BEFORE I purchased them, I wouldn't have bought them. Good luck to you.

I just bought them a few weeks ago. I understand they have a 5 year warranty. Sounds like the LED burned out, I would request for a replacement.

Correct. They come on automatically at dark. You can shut them off with a switch on the back and keep the battery charged.

How long did the last? What model did you install them on? My answer is if you installed them and they malfunctioned upon installation then you got a defective pair. In the meantime, I'll tell you that mine work really well they get the job done pretty well... However, I have gone through 3 pairs of these because I'm constantly turning my lights on and off (it's my daily driver). However, these LEDs do give my car a modern look :) Hoping to hear back from you soon so I can properly reply.

I actually did replace one of mine with an LED just to test it out and almost no light comes out of it. The LED lights just don't seem to put out enough light. :( I would love to find some LEDs that do though considering I am running like 15 of these all night long.

on the underside of the light is a small pin hole. put the wire key into the hole and push - that turns it on. :o)

make sure you turn down the dimmer level located on the front of the metal box - I didn't notice this at first but there is a dial that can be shifted from "-" to "+" Once I turned it down, I discovered my LED lights dimmed down to almost nothing, which was my goal.
