    I just got a new to me 2017 TRD Off-road and I noticed that when my low beams are on the driver low beam is on and the passenger high beam. When I put the brights on they seem to work normal with the low beams and high beams are both on. Is this normal? Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

    fathomblue I used to be disgusted; now I'm just amused.

    Just a guess but it sounds like someone has swapped the low and high beam connectors on the passenger side.

    OE lights. I’ll check on both those things tomorrow. I appreciate it.

    The bulbs/connectors were swapped. H11 connector was in high beam spot and H9 connector was in low beam. Y’all were a big help.
