Which 2 wires did you ship? Blue and black? So headlights only work when I put the high beam on old help

There should be only 2 wires connected to the bulb that came with the headlight, i snipped off the original bulb and spliced to the extension that came with my 4x4truckled bulbs and that has the factory harness connector on other end plugs right in

Do you have the link of the kit you bought from 4x4truckled?

I turned on daytime driving lights using Forscan, but the c-bar doesn't light up just the amber turn signal does.

I tried all three options in the forscan menu for DRLs, Low beams - turn signals - and fog lights. They all work but none include the c-bar lights.

Any idea how this is wired up and how to get it to turn on as DRLs?

The c light should be wired to the running lights of the turn signal bulb. If you want it to be a true DRL, you can do what I did and run it to the front fuse panel and pick up an ignition source.

Check your connections on the back. You will see that the connection taps into the turn signal connector. I think it is a green wire.

I enabled the running lights of the turn signal bulbs but the c-bar doesn't light up. Surprised me. The turn signal is on brighter than normal.
I'll get in there and see what is getting power for DRLs and move the connection for the c-bars to there I guess.
Sure running back to the fuse panel would work, but I'd rather keep all the wiring right there on the back of the light housing.

I wonder if the DRL function has supplied power to the turn signal circuit as you say its brighter. The bulb is a dual brightness type for running lights and a brighter circuit for when you use the signals. Try turning on the turn signals and see what happens.
