Didn't know that either. I find they're way better quality then DDM and the cheap eBay crap. Guess we will see how they handle this situation. Gotta troubleshoot and see if it's the bulb or ballast before I email em.

This damn Morimoto kit is pissing me off. If I unhook the relay to the drivers side it works when hitting the unlock button on the key fob but once you turn it on it starts flickering. If I hook up the relay according to the diagram, it doesn't turn on at ALL on the drivers side. I've tested the ballast, bulb, and individual wiring both on passenger side and it ALL WORKS. SO confused. If anyone has any ideas let me know here's some pics of when I got it to work. Reverse lights and chrome trim with new Denali step pad is also on.

Driver side with HD Relay not hooked up (only way to even get it to function, but flickers when car is actually running). Capacitor was hooked up to both sides (which is supposed to prevent flickering so so much for that...

New step pad and chrome trim from '15 Denali's:

New Philips LED reverse lights:

Only time it actually works to show all ballasts and bulbs DO Work. Passenger side is using HD Relay, Driver side isn't... so jacked up:

Video of the flickering once the car is on with it hooked up this way... I hooked it up like it is in the diagram above and the driver side doesn't work at all. Help... someone?!

Which ground? The capacitor ground or the bulbs ground? They're both on the bad side.

Just attempted to put on the OEM center caps with gmc red lettering and they're not flush with the wheel and clips are extremely loose. FML!!!!

The center caps I was pretty much the guinea pig. No one has done OEM center caps on replica ck190. Now we all know it does NOT work lol. I think the morimoto kit I got from TRS has a bad HD relay cable. Hopefully they send a replacement and that's it. Sick of working on it. It should be plug and play.
