Yup.

wonder if you could just cover the dome with black electrical tape? Then it would think it is dark all the time..?

 

[Clean07Burb]

You could, but you want it to think it's light all the time, not dark. If it thinks it's dark all the time then it'll constantly be turning the headlights on every time you start the truck.

You want the truck to think it's light all the time so it doesn't try turning the lights on. That gives you full control over when the lights are on/off.

Good point. I have the switchback LED mod done for the DRLs and parking lights which looks awesome but they have to be turned on by either the fog light switch or the parking light selection on the dial as they source their power from the parking lights signal. Great mod and looks awesome but does not run like the DRLs do. Was just trying to think how I could get them to run at startup but like you said the headlights will come on too.

 

[Clean07Burb]

Exactly.

So I am extremely excited!! I received the new bulb wires this week and just installed them and to my surprise both lights are working flawlessly!!!! I can't believe that all my pain and suffering was from a pair of ****** little bulb wires.

Clean07Burb do you think that this could have possibly been your issue? But at one point didn't you have the issue switch sides on you without the harness? It just seems to much of a coincidence that our issues were so similar and it not be the same thing. Or it just may be something weird going on with your truck.

Not sure but I would be happy to help in any way that I can.

Retrofit dreams are alive again!!

What? It's working?! Sweet!

What exactly did you replace? Which bulb wires?

And yes, if I used the relay harness provided with the kit, the driver's side wouldn't work. If I wired them up directly to the OEM headlight plugs, without using the relay harness, then the driver's side worked and the passenger side didn't.

I'm really curious if our problem was the same.

Just re-read your post on page 7. So the bad wires you're referring to are the ones that connect the igniter to the bulb? So they were bad right out of the box?

 

[Mester320]

The wires that connect the igniter to the back of the bulb were the issue.

Yes they were bad right out of the box. So the TRS sent me new ones for both sides and all is well now!

Also one thing I didn't mention before was that I did use the short reverse polarity adapter between the vehicles bulb plug and the wiring harness input. Does that make sense?
