Title: Baracuda Mini Viper LED turn signals
Post by: chris1044 on July 25, 2012, 05:41:15 PM
Bring the suck.  Ordered some in June, have maybe 150 miles on the bike since and I have one that's dead.  

It's not the harness, it's not the way it was wired, it reads open when checked with a DVOM (in LED testing position).  In short, you get what you pay for.  I'll tear it open and if I can replace the LED I will...but still it's a pain for something that's basically brand new.

Update:

These turn signals are NOT LED.  They've got a non-standard halogen bulb in them that's soldered directly to the wire leads for the connectors on the Ducati IP harness. 

I e-mailed Barracuda, and they're sending me a new signal without any hesitation. I'll post back when I see it, but thus far customer support has been stellar [thumbsup]

Sorry to hear.  I've had a set of the mini vipers on my bike for a year or two without issue and just did my front signals with them.   At least customer service stands behind their product and hopefully your new set works as well as mine have.

Final update:  New signals shipped to me, no questions asked!  On the bike and working properly.

I'd recommend using this company to anyone - my concerns of the failure were handled promptly and all I had to do is send them a picture of the burnt out bulb.  [thumbsup]
