I bought and installed a set of "Sonar" GEN3 Projector headlights with clear corners. The headlights have two additional LED lights under the low/high beams. When I hooked up the standard plug, low beams work fine, but when you switch to the high beams, it never switches all the way over. They both are on and at a lower wattage.

I did not hook up the LEDs and my question is do I have to? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Did I do something wrong? The LEDs have a hot wire and a ground. Can I just ground the two lights and find a hot wire or does it need to be spliced into the hot lead for the main headlights?

 

Okay, I solved my own problem. The problem was that the leads for the ground and low beam were swapped on the pigtail from the new headlights. That was an easy fix. The LED lights are also hooked up now. All that took was tieing the hot lead to the hot wire on the parking lights and then grounding the lights to the frame. Everything works and it looks great.

 

Those sound like the headlights I was about to purchase off of eBay. I was wondering if you had any pics of them on ur truck, and also pics with like the low beams on, high beams on, and the LEDS. thanks a lot!

 

Yo Silver; check out my photo gallery" I have the Gen3 headlights in black w/ black side lenses. I recommend either the black or the carbon fiber look, unless you like the "bling".

I'll take some shots with the lights on and add them for you tomorrow

 

Percy, where did you purchase these? I like the look of the black/smoke better than the clear. Plus, I'm sick of my blackouts, and these look waay better.

Thanks for your help.

 

hey par4x4 i just bought the same lights off e-bay i got a couple questions if you can help me 1 is the projector lamp the low beam or are both supposed to be on and second what exactly did you tie the leds into cause i tied mine into the corner lamps and they work but i dont know if their getting enough wattage that way the cool thing is they blink when i put my signal on which i do like

 

If both your high and low beams are on at the same time, you probably need to make the same switch that I did. Check the pigtail from the new headlights. The high beam and ground need to be reversed. You can do this pretty easily with a very small screwdriver. Just push the screwdriver in the slot behind the wire tab in the plug, pull it out the back of the plug and then reinsert it the right hole. If you have one available, check your wiring diagram for the headlights.

I tied the hot wire for the LEDs to the hot wire for the parking lights. Without looking, I think it was the brown wire (middle). They should come on when your headlight switch is turned to the first stop. I then grounded the black wires to the frame.
