- Start by disassembling the headlight assembly.
- Remove the large bezel surrounding the two headlights
- Remove the smaller bezels holding in each sealed beam.
- Unplug the the lights and remove them from the housing
- Plug in your new LED sealed beams and test them. (Low beam -The 2 outside diodes light up / High beam - all 3 diodes are lit)
If the light does not operate normally then you need to make an adjustment in your light plug. Use a test light to determine what wires you may have to change in your own plug. (Traditional halogen lights can be wired in different ways. LED lights are polarity sensitive which only allows them to be wired one way. A halogen light will still work when wired for an LED light)
Complete your installation be reassembling your bezels and aiming your headlight's height.
Note:
If you find that the output of the light on low beam should be better, some users switch the high and low beam wires. this allows for much greater distance when using your low beam. Remember, this modification is not the proper use of this light and is not compliant with the CSA. Perform at your own risk.
Make sure the light is installed correctly. If you install it upside down you wont have any light on the road.
Some newer trucks (2010+) may require the use of a load resistor. This will draw more current tricking the computer to think it is a regular halogen sealed beam.
Some symptoms of a truck needing a load resistor:
- High beams stay on dim with low beam
- low beam stay on dim when light is shut off
- error message on truck computer related to faulty headlight.
- Flickering of headlights
