I still maintain they wired them wrong from the factory. Personally I'd resolder the wires. Maybe you'd get lucky and find when wired correctly the yellows flash at the proper rate.

Barring all that, they still fail the rear and side reflector requirements. Are you handy with a soldering iron?
I was afraid that the yellow running lights were illegal... Now I have to fix them, great...

I could easily fix them if the case wasn't sealed shut around the circuit board. I'm afraid that I would damage it and make them useless if I tried to disassemble the casing.

Swapping the running light wire with the signal light wire sounds possible though, as someone else mentioned. I think I could take a volt meter and figure out which wires are which.
