Has anyone ran into an issue where only one headlight led works the other doesn't...probably a defective one? Just the led strip doesn't power up.

I figured id post it here since theres more people here then isf forum

 

BUMP because i helped him install these!

 

sorry dumb question.. i just re read it. i would open the covers and look around the best you can to see if a plug came undone and if you dont see anything loose then send it back where you bought it from and ask for a replacement.

 

If these are the Sewell lights I would check the harness to see if one of the wires might have come out.

 

It's only driver side headlight. When you start the car the LED strip flashes on and then goes off immediately and does not come on under any light function (off/parking/low beams).

Harness looked okay with a quick check when we swapped them.

 

I had the same problem .. Gotta wire the other side
run a live wire on it from the headlights that works then wire it to the other headlights
I spliced the red wire as far as I remember for power

 

Blitz_714 did the same thing
I will get him to chim in here

 

Yes there are 2 things u need to do, if u missing the harness of 1 of the headlight then u have to call Sewell to send you in my case i had to called local Lexus dealer to bought the part. 2nd u have to run another wires for power . U bought the stripped version right ? that should be it. If u already have the harness then just run another power wire that's all . Good luck

 

thanks for the info guys...that sucks...2 grand for stripped led headlights you figured you wouldnt have to ghetto rig anything

 

is it possible to ghetto rig the LED strips to come on via switch only?

 

i think heyarms knows somethin bout that....


anyone else have any input on my issue?
