1) This wasn't a big deal, and I overlooked this issue, but the first time after turning on the car and using the sequential turn signal, the LED strip only lights up about 2 - 3 inches. The second flash and any signal after that, the LED strip lights up all the way. This happens on both the driver and passenger side.
2) Upon inspecting my lights this past week or so, I've noticed the black paint/plastic below the projector lenses are starting to wrinkle. This is happening on both the driver and passenger side. I've read that other Morimoto assemblies have had this issue due to sunlight getting magnified by the lenses and melting the paint/plastic. I've tried to attach the best photos I could get of this.
3) Last week after running my car through the car wash, I noticed the DRL on the passenger assembly flickering. This stopped after about 30 min. of driving. I do not have a photo or video of this.
4) Last night I turned off my lights, and the top projector LED stayed on (did flicker some) while the other two LED's cut off. This is happening on the passenger side assembly. I've attached a photo and video of this.
I've been in touch with Morimoto as Z1 said they wanted direct contact for warranty issues. They have agreed to replace them, but I am waiting for next steps.

Not sure how many are still following this thread, but I did recieve replacements from Morimoto. Below are a few things I noticed during my install that I relayed to them.
1) The boomerang reflector on my original headlights was clear/white. The new one is orange. I think Travis made a comment about this and I'm guessing it's an update.
2) The sequential turn signal now travels the full length of the LED strip the first time where my old set would stop 2 - 3 inches up the first time, and be normal thereafter.
3) In order to get the sequential turn signal to work, I actually had to plug in the two connectors in the wiring harness. This is backwards of what my first set, and the instructions call for.
4) With my old set, the only time the lights would turn on, change in brightness, and then turn off is when my lights were set to off or auto and it was sunny. If it was dark, they would just cut on. Now even if it's dark, they cut on, change in brightness, cut off, then cut back on. Again, maybe an update?
5) The harness that was provided with the lights for the DRL was way too short to reach the fuse panel and the first light. I left in the longer harness that came with my first set.
