I will be honest it looks like some thing is wrong with the board . . I would think he would exchange it with no problem. . Here is a quick test I want you to do . . And it will tell you if its the board. . Take the ear light and connect it to any other plug designed to power a light blinking or not it wont matter,using it as a test light . . The leds are all rated the same so it wont blow,but will give you an Idea of your problem. I doubt Kris would reverse the connections on so many leds . . But the do have a positive and negative terminal. Also look at the bottom of the board . In fact, post up a pic up close, there could be a place he missed sodering. . It happens. . ---

If I move the ear light it works with any plug so is it maybe just my lights wired backwards? I will get a pic up tomorrow afternoon. ---

> [@tk-fett](#): > > If I move the ear light it works with any plug so is it maybe just my lights wired backwards? I will get a pic up tomorrow afternoon. ``` As hard to believe as it seems, that looks like the problem. . Congradulations . . Thats an easy fix. . now heres a little pointer, and the pics I will send this morning will show you how I did mine. . None of my lights where wired backwards but I cut the wires in half and sodered about 3 inches to each lead,then covered in heat shrink, as to simplify installation in the wand. Some run a little short. . ``` " That wasnt such a chore now was it? " ---

Your pics will probably show it but how I’d you connect the LEDs to the board with out the clips? Solder? ---

No. . No, I still use the clips . . I just put an extension in between the bulb and the clip. . The thing with the clips are that they are designed to be put together once and thats it. You cant take them apart and then reassemble them . It not how they are intended to used. . ---

Im going to try switching the wires on one of the gun lights on my lunch break and see if it works then. I hope it does, if that works all I will have to do is get a small speaker to test out my sound board and then figure out how to wire it in with the lights and I think I will have it all figured out.
