From what I have gathered it appears that it is a issue with some high beams only. I have a set and will install next weekend when its warmer. I have not read any information about the low or fog connectors needing to be turned around to fit correctly.

Yep wondering if I should send my high beams back and wait till they get the connectors straighten out so I don't have to tape them together.

That's what I did after trying both LEDs then going back to the stock bulb to confirm I didn't have an electrical problem...I was Pissed & freezing my AZZ OFF!!!

Here is a pic of the connector with the locking tab on the wrong side connected and working...I didn't wanna reverse it at 1st then I noticed just above the white sticker, it's marked with (+) & (-)...So I taped it!

Yes, In my case just the High Beams.

I would NOT go thru the wheel well if I had to do it again. Very tight quarters, with the cold, made it miserable especially when the Brights didn't work, I let the Expletives Fly!!

Would reversing wires on plug remedy the problem on plug?

Bummer to hear the plug issue. I’m installing the back end of my truck today with the ones from 4x4truckleds and the 900lum cargo lights don’t fit the 18s it seems. Broke a wire off the lic plate bulbs trying to get them to fit (tad to long and needed sanding). So I don’t think I’m going to try installing the G9 headlights today...I’m going to hang tight and see what comes of these plugs and think on it. I’m sure tape will hold but I’m not willing to go that route. Would tick me off when that tape lets go one day...
