Hey Ben
It is definitely the wires being reversed. Flip thr plug over on the ballast and if it lights up you got thr issue identified. If that doesnt work then be sure that the plugs inside the headlights are fully seated. A bad connection will result in no light either.
Email me at [email protected] if you have any other trouble or need a phone call to help.

The flipped wires was the problem for one side. Still struggling with the other. Got some batteries for my voltmeter ( I blame the kids for leaving it on).

 

Had to put the old bulbs back in both sides for now. Hoping to get back to it this weekend.

Ordered the bulb kit from fastheadlights.com on Monday, hope they come by the weekend so I can put them in.  FastWS6TA  and anyone else who has installed this kit, from what I understand the Hylux ballast are plug and play and I shouldnt need anything additional other than whats in the kit?  Just want to make sure I have everything I need before I start the install.

 

Will post pics when completed.  I cant wait this factory setup is horrible.

Where did everyone mount their ballasts? Was thinking about that on my drive in to work this morning.

You’ll find plenty of room to zip tie them up and hide them.

Im looking at this kit for a 14 highcountry just wondering if it’s really as easy as the video states and you don’t have to break open your headlights

Yes. I ordered them from Phil there and they go in super easy. I absolutely love the output paired with my rigid SAE fogs. My wife is so jealous about the bixenon feature. Blows her TSX out of the water!

That’s awesome to hear, does the kit come with everything you need for wiring in the hids and such? Or do I have to order anything else off the website?

Hey fellas and ladies,

 

I read through a lot of the posts but haven't really found what i was looking for. One of the first things I did when I bought my truck a few years ago was pick up some crappy LEDs. I threw them in, making a beginner's mistake and then replaced them with a better set.  The LEDs eventually got on my nerves as it still wasn't the greatest output and I purchased a Morimoto 35w HID kit.  

 

Here's where I'm confused.  I have a 2015 SLE.  For some I thought I had DRL, and that my headlights just came on.  After the install, there isn't a DRL. Have I really been driving around thinking that I have had DRL for the last two years?

Also, I’m having some issues with one light cutting out and the other still running. Or both cut out and then come on. It WAS the driver’s side cutting out. But today it’s been the passenger side. Any idea what could possibly be causing this?

Are you saying that your headlights are not on except when you turn on the headlight switch or set to "auto" and they come on when the sensor senses it is dark enough?

 

I have the Morimoto kit on my SLE and have still have DRL's.

It's the weirdest thing because now they work all of the time.  I'm not wondering if there was a loose connection.  I went through and unplugged everything and plugged it back in.

This is 4300k from Morimoto. I used the brackets from Phil for the oem LTZ projector housings. Perfect rotation and alignment. I like the color, nice and warm but doesn't match the SL1 fog light bulbs. May switch to 5000K in spring.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
