    I have aftermarket Projector Halo headlights on my truck I bought from a member on here. As of lately I have had multiple issues with them. I didn't build these or even install them myself so I really am stuck in the water here.

    This is what I have on there:
    -Projectors: mini d2s
    -Shroud: Apollo 2.0
    -RGB Halos on both

    Here's the issues:
    -Hi beams "stuck" on even when I have the set to low beams
    -Passenger headlight is out most of the time but sometimes comes on
    -Drivers headlight stays on no matter what

    If anyone has any ideas or can come help please do (located in Houston, in Victoria right now, going to San Antonio on Saturday)! I can pay $$ or beer! As of right now I have them both unplugged so I don't have lights. SOS!!!

    I have no experience with halos...but i had a relay in the TRS wiring harness go bad and lost all low beam and only had high beams in my retrofits.

    Your issue (to me) totally sounds like a wiring problem since the lights do light up.

    I would go back to the person who installed them and make sure the wiring is all kosher.

    If the harnesses had to be cut and spliced (hopefully soldered), then that's where I'd start. IF they were plug-n-play, then try hooking up your old headlamp assemblies and see if the same issues still occur.
    If the same issues occur, then it's in the wiring or the switch.
    If the issues go away, then it's the A/M headlamps.

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    Sounds like a faulty relay harness.

    Thanks guys, I was thinking it was a wiring issue too. I'll probably take it to a new shop I found in Houston specializing in retrofits bc the guys I had install it probably had no idea what they were doing
