M61A1MECH Posted October 3, 2017 Share #26 Posted October 3, 2017 Steve: Let me know if you are able to repair it...just curious Thanks OK I have it basically repaired, it is working I am just not happy with how I grafted it on to a bulb base to make it plug and play, a bit more effort and research on that part is required.

Glad to hear you got it fixed! If you need it or someone else does I hope they get good use out of it...Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted October 3, 2017 Share #28 Posted October 3, 2017 I just found a premade bulb base with pig tails so that is on order, I have spare resistors and LED bulbs if any one else needs one repaired, now that I know how to do the repair and what parts are needed it will be easy to repair others.

Flyinfool Posted October 3, 2017 Share #29 Posted October 3, 2017 SOOOOOO Curious minds like to know. What was the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M61A1MECH Posted October 4, 2017 Share #30 Posted October 4, 2017 SOOOOOO Curious minds like to know. What was the issue? Found one blown 180 ohm resistor and two blown LEDs, the resistor was first in that particular circuit and the two blown diodes where in series right behind it. The board is set up with one 180 ohm resistor for every 4 LEDs. There was no evidence of heat or arcing, so I am not sure what the initial fault was.

Mover Posted October 14, 2017 Share #31 Posted October 14, 2017 I bought one of these Radiantz tail lights but it failed after about 1 year. All the LEDs were still working but the running light intensity had gone very dim. Applying the brakes still produced very bright lights. Reinstalled the old OEM bulb. Try here also, https://www.radiantz.com/V-Star-Road-Star-Retro-p/9011-10.htm On mine it came with a plug on a pig tail that plugged in where the OEM bulb plugged in. looks like maybe the previous owner got creative with yours.

If you still have it and want me see if I can fix I will be glad to look at for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m lucky but I have had mine for nearly 6 years without a problem. It is a Custom Dynamics and it did cost a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer but the cost of shipping back and forth from Canada likely doesn't make it worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but if you have contacts close by in the states that could mail it for you and then I could mail back to them, that would not be to bad, just drop it off next time your south of the border and pick it up some time later.
