    Cant seem to find a solution for my 2006 TRD Off Road HID retrofit Hi Beams. The error canceler has the two wires to connect to the Hi Beam slots on the original plug, but when I click the high beams on, the bulb goes out. My cutoffs flip up, but how do I keep the bulbs on?

    It's possible your truck is designed to have the low beams turn off when the high beams turn on. If that is the case, then you need to make a relay so that the low beams (bulbs) continue receiving power when the high beams turn on.

    Thanks for the info, that does seem to be the issue. How do I go about making a relay? Should I buy one?

    If you are familiar with circuits you can make your own. If not, you can ask if TRS would make a relay system for you.

    However, I find it odd that your headlights do that. As far as I know, GM was the only company that shut off the low beams when the high beams turn on.
