    No, neither side is working. The only click I am getting is the actual relay or whatever in the fuse box. I'm getting no sound or movement whatsoever at the headlights when I turn the brights on/off. It just stays with the low beams on.

    Unplug it, grab a 9v battery and test the highbeam solenoid. If it clicks, then it works, it must the connectors or wiring. If not, something is up with your high beam solenoid

    We'll get it resolved Sam. I know you love your new Muranos but we need to get those high beams up and running for you. Tested during and after they were built. We'll get a new controller out and please send me an email update in regards. =)

    Awesome, thanks again.

    Hey guys I got the headlights today and they look amazing. Couldn't find any wiring diagram. I've got two vled 6 ohm base and plugs. Two other sets of connectors. To make things simple I'm just going to hook the halo and passive eye to the DTRL. But I'll need some guidance.

    Unfortunately the 9V battery test didn't work. I didn't think it would. I measured voltage at the harness lead that plugs into the high beam actuator. Both shots are with motor running and the headlights on. First shot is low beams pn, second shot is with the high beam switch turned on. This is consistent on both sides.

    Are you familiar with the anytime fog light mod? That's how I have mine wired. They come on when I start my truck. But you could always find another switched source as well. It will probably be a little easier unless you are wanting them to purposely turn on with the dtrl. In that case I'd just tap into the dtrl wires coming out of the bulb.

    You can tap your halos into your dtrl, if you don't want the switchback function. If you do, it won't work.

    Next question, is your high beam pigtail snugly in? It can come loose. You should be able to tell by looking back there

    You mean from the harness to where it plugs into the actuator at the back of the housing? That is plugged in well. I actually even tried flipping the plug too, but still nothing.

    It's actually really easy to do once you get going. While you wait on them you could always poke around under the hood and figure out how you want them to be wired before hand.

    Hmm, I can't remember even being able to see that and of course it is raining now and the truck is outside. I'll check it here in a bit, and btw thanks for your help!

    Yeah, you will remove your boot and take a peak. Hopefully it's the problem solver

    Okay I pulled it in, and removed the boot. That plug does appear to be engaged well.

    Another thing that bothers me is for some reason the passenger side cutoff line seems pretty out of focus compared to the driver side. It also shakes pretty bad constantly while I'm driving which annoys me, so I can only image what it looks like to oncoming traffic lol. The differences in cut off is MUCH more pronounced in person, just hard to capture with crummy lighting and my cell phone camera.

    Hmmm interesting. And the 9v battery didn't work either? I wonder if it's polarity sensitive. I don't have my pigtails with me to test polarity.

    As for your passenger side cutoff, it could be different things. Tuning, bulb alignment, etc.

    I'm sure Rad will help you out
