    Do you have any wires you could use to try straight from battery to those leads trying it both ways reversing wires.

    I’ve got some 18g wire but I wouldn’t know exactly how to go about doing what you’re suggesting.

    Just take a long wire from battery ground to one of the pigtail wire leads. Same with positive to other lead. See if light comes on.

    Also you pigtail should have the wires running flat against the plastic as shown in pic. Usually on opposite sides. In your pic I dont think you'd get good contacts.20190807_120858.jpg 20190807_120839.jpg

    Yeah, that little piece looks like it got snagged on something and broke off.

    I switched the connectors (just the small run of wire, unplugged from the jst) and got nothing. I was pretty sure something was really not working. Then I decided to swap sides with the full LED Driver. The passenger side lit up and not the driver so I pulled the bladed connector out one more time and flipped it 180 and the son of a bitch turned on. Don’t know what kind of gremlins were screwing with my install today but damn I feel accomplished haha.

    Well I'm glad you and @no vtec 4me got it all figured out. Now time for headlight adjustment, night driving and enjoy the new better lighting:hattip:

    Haha yep. The bottom fell out like 2 minutes after I buttoned it all back up. It’s storming like crazy but I gotta head out to jiu jitsu in a minute. Maybe I should take the wife’s rav4 since I haven’t aimed these heads yet.

    If you're gonna do any night driving I would. You might blind everyone or not be able to see very well until aimed. Mine were way low.
