Thanks for all the help. I was only able to get around to the driver side yesterday but took it out cuz i wasnt riding with mix match lights. So now that i somewhat know what im doing i will attempt to get both on at my lunch break.

 

 

Now about the capacitor, the original instructions say just go straight from OEM power to the LED, if that doesnt work then try the polarity .. only if that doesnt work then you use the capacitor.

 

After looking back at what i was doing, i was using the capacitor as the polarity so it wasnt working. When i actually got it working i had OEM Power > Polarity > LED thats how it should be right? And at that time i had it on for a few minutes with the truck on never got an error, I should be good then right?

 

When i did connect the capacitor between the LED and polarity though it never came on

I never got instructions with mine so I just assumed the capacitor needed to be in place so when the bcm send out bursts of power to the low beams as drls, the leds wont flicker. But if that's what it says and it works like that great!

Ah ok, they were a little confusing to me cuz its jumps all over the place between connecting H11 bulbs and if you have an H7 bulb then do this

I fooled with that for probably about 15 minutes trying to get it in and just decided to maybe try the other bulb, went in on the first try ? wasted all that time.

 

Worst part was trying to get the damn air filter out. I tried removing it as a whole unit, well the sensor was zip tie to the top lid so after trying a few minutes i just had to unscrew it all.

 

So passenger side was prob a total of 20-30 min mainly cuz the filter and the bulb not fitting in, driver side less than 5. Lights worked on first try. Didnt get pics and wont be driving tonight as planned fiance wanted to (she also wasnt happy i skipped out on cleaning to put in my lights)

Bought these:

Installed them, work when unlocking the doors and the courtesy lights come on however don't work while the truck is running. Im assuming this is because there isn't enough voltage to show the CANBUS that there are headlights? Is there a capacitor harness I can buy to make it work?

 

From what I can tell with the truck sitting in my driveway, the LED's appear bright and match the color of the LED running lights well.

Drove to my league baseball game this morning couldnt tell if they were running as DRLs or not. I dont think they are but i'll check when the game is over i was running late this morning so i rushed out.

 

If not then maybe i do need that capacitor in .... ugh means i gotta fool with that filter again

Dammit, I was going to take H9 versus OPT7 LED comparison photos and on the way home from the lake the passenger side headlight failed. Upon turning it back on only one diode would turn on. Fortunately if I get them mailed back this next week I can still get a refund versus warranty replacement. The only thing different about today is it was our first day over 90 degrees in a while.

Same happened to me the other day! And it was hot too. I've been turning them off for drls untilvi get my new setup and I won't have to worry about it. My replacement bulb should be here soon if it isnt already at the post office

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
