Yes they do. The H7 kit is plug and play. The driver even fits behind the dust caps. Thats another nice thing about these. Now i have to get a set of LED fogs to match the LED lights. The yellow fogs bother me with the nice white LED headlights.

 

Good stuff - thanks. If you get some time the more pictures to see the merrier.

 

I'm probably going to put a leveling kit on my truck, but I wish I could get my low beams to adjust just a little bit higher. The beam cuts off slightly lower than I like and that's my only complaint with these headlights. I'm sure other drivers appreciate it, but I'm at the top of my adjusters so I think the leveling kit will get it where I want.

I do have a level kit on mine and slightly larger tires. I can text you some pics if you want. Tried posting some pics but says the file is too large.

Thanks. They're in the $400 neighborhood depending on where you buy them from. Still significantly cheaper than the factory option.

I have had these in a week and got some major rain over the weekend. I think I see some condensation on the inside. Is this normal? Did you see this on yours ever?

No, I haven't had any condensation issues since I installed them over the Summer. Sounds like you might need to get in touch with them for Warranty replacement.

Ok, I need to do a better inspection. When you installed did you put anything around the 3 sockets? A gasket or I read some people put petroleum jelly as well...Or did you just twist them in and that was that?

Apparently Winjet likes to insult customers that have issues with the shipping of horror product......

I sent them an email here while back and got this

Hi guys,

Please response to the customer.

Thanks!

 

Nothing else after that

If you haven't tried Amazon yet that's where you need to start. Their customer service is excellent and if - I say IF - it was shipped and sold by Amazon I have no doubt you'll be taken care of.

 

If there's a third-party vendor selling via Amazon I'd still contact Amazon and explain your issue to see what steps need to be taken.

It indeed was through Amazon and ice used it countless times and never had a single issue. I got my money back so I'm content, I was just trying to find out why I was only sent one headlight to begin with. Then after telling Amazon what happened, they said they would ship a replacement pair one day shipping at no cost. After a month, the replacement pair had yet to even ship. Though Amazon never once responded and explained what was going on with the delay, It's then I asked for a full refund and it was granted.

I still love the lights though so I'll no doubt buy again but from where I don't know

I just installed my winjet tails this afternoon, they came with the relay boxes and everything. Wondering what you need do to bypass the low voltage hyper flashing when using the blinkers.. I plugged the relay boxes in on both tails and everything works other then the hyper flashing issue

Its tough to tell. In the mornings when I come outside and there is a layer of condensation I can wipe it off and the inside looks dry. At night time though there is definietly a cloudy look on the inside. You can kind of see it in this image....I'm assuming that is condensation. Does anyone else get this foggy look in the evenings?

Hey guys, I installed the winjet headlights and they look amazing. I’m in love.

 

i was wondering, my DRLs shut off during the day when the headlight setting is on automatic light control. I have to manually switch the control to the parking lights in order for the DRLs to come on. Slightly disappointed by this as I love my automatic lights. Is there a way to make it so they are always on when using auto lights?

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
