He recently moved on to a raptor but @Waterfowler41 may still lurk around to give some additional feedback or new owner since he returned reuck to stock and sold off parts.

I just put a set of these in my truck days ago. they look great so far. low beams put out a ton of light. But nothing is ever simple.. I am trying to troubleshoot why my high beams flicker immediately and go out and throw a short to ground. both sides do this.

Had a decent day today to dig into this, Do not use the adaptor harness as provided and directed in the install guide, It is wrong, I removed it and plugged the truck harness into the headlight unit, and all lights are now working as expected.

Did you have OEM Halogen or LED? I know from the video there are TWO different harnesses.

My truck was OEM Halogen, I used the harness marked as such, It caused issues with the high beams grounding out, I removed that harness and went from truck harness straight to the LED unit and all lights began working as desired.

Glad it all worked out. I'll eventually install mine 😂

These are the lights on the truck, overlook the fact she needs a bath. Day and low beams at night
