Oh ofcourse I put the stocks back in I was just trying to get a explanation once I told them about the Fire or smoke they went silent on me
When I had the JK i had bought some cheap LED for the interior dome light, not sure wtf happened but it started to smell like burnt wires, cables, plastic, when I had a baby in the back too. I started to be careful about Chinese made LED's since Mabett and Oracle use chinese LED's.

Looking forward to other upgrades you get! I'm poor so I do things slowly lmao

I think I have the same taillight as you do.

There are two little toggle switches behind the rubber cover.

I’m honestly so surprised that company has so many supporters here. I tried out their cargo liner and center console cover and both are junk. Cargo liner is wavy bacon and the console cover looks nice but underneath is falling apart.

Yes Im serious. At 11yrs old I was learning to drive, learning mechanics, and new how to handle fires and emergencies. Yes Im one of those who feel kids these days are coddled and soft.

It's a "you get what you pay for" kind of thing. Their items are cheap compared to a lot of the other companies that sell Bronco parts. I have their center console divider, rear dome lights, and the back seat protectors. I think they are good quality for what those parts are. I don't think I would buy suspension components made by them.

Definitely, what I have serves its purpose but with constant usage (Tailgate set ups for MLS games lol), I know by next year ill need another one lol. The glove box separator, meh. Either shit is way overpriced or sketch as fuck lol

Wondering where @Mabett is and what their response is? I know they're a great outfit, so something's off here.

As others said, be mindful of what you are buying/installing… it’s a Chinese aftermarket company. Plastic add-ons, seat covers, etc - great. Consequential items like skid plates, electrical/lights, roof racks… probably not worth the risk to save a buck.

Yes the start up sequence works is because I had the brake pedal depressed at same time everything works fine it's just when I press the brake pedal it smokes internally

I believe they're overseas (so, likely the middle of the night right now), as he usually responds in the evenings here.

What do you mean by smokes internally? Like smoke coming out of the taillight?
Make sure you got the halogen/LED switch set correctly. If you had LED, use LED, vice versa.

Could be bad connection or wrong connection? Though the plug only goes in one way so... I'm not sure. I guess just make sure they are snug.

It could be simply just a bad unit too.

On a side note. That passenger light start up sequence looks odd to me.
Mine only does it at night, and only when I open the doors/tailgate.
As soon as the engine is started or I press the brake, it stop the animation.
