[QUOTE="imikeb2, post: 422697, member: 17964"] 2016 JKU... it already had a lift, and 35's... one week into ownership, I have completed 6-8 upgrades/additions - LED headlights, turn signals and markers, tail lights, fuel door, grille, grab handles, etc... This is really hard to put into words, please bare with me as this issue not something I can just google. LED Headlights I installed almost immediately. Worked fine for 4 days (or so I think). Im not sure where the best or worst place is to buy from but this was AM Offroad, seemed like a regular non-Chinese website, and they were nearly $200 (not top of the $700, but also not $50 ebay.... I thought) I washed the Jeep yesterday, and I dont think it has anything to do with it but, that is a point in time in which I noticed this issue started... -passenger headlight went out. seemed like a loose wire, if I move it around, light comes back in. So I used electrical tape to hold it more secure, which initially seemed to work. -I noticed, if I switch to high beams, the light goes out every time. Not acceptable, I contacted customer support, they're sending a replacement. -So as Im waiting now for the new ones to get here, I notice this... it seems so strange to me. I have I think 4 positions of headlights on my turn signal AUTO REGULAR ON MARKERS LIGHTS OFF now.... here is how my headlights are reacting as I switch between modes. This cant be normal.... AUTO - turns on automatically at all times of the day when Im not in PARK. REGULAR ON - turns on automatically at all times of the day, IN ANY GEAR MARKER LIGHTS - works normal UNTIL I PUT IT IN DRIVE, then my high beams come on!! OFF - works normal UNTIL I PUT IT IN DRIVE, then my high beams come on!! Yes, that's correct, in DRIVE, its literally impossible for me to turn my headlights OFF!! The installation is simple. Simple connections, I have tried this with and without the Anti Flicker harness... NO LUCK, complete chaos. I thought paying almost $200 would keep me away from the Chinese cheap LEDs but clearly thats not the case. What should I do? This cant be normal, where should I buy my LEDs from? and can I get decent ones under $300? Everything has been going great so far, I love the Jeep, Im obsessed, but this issue is just totally frustrating. Could the pressure washer have shorted something out? Or is just a result of crappy LEDs? Thanks in advance, Im a total noobie, take it easy on me... [/QUOTE]
