Send send it back and get harness from Ryan.
I had morimoto harness and nothing but trouble. Installed Ryan's harness 8 month ago works flawlessly

Or try the new Morimoto LED retrofit headlights. Few hours and you have a complete led system. Way better light and I really like the look.

I have the bfc harness after working wiyh Ryan B we got it working just like factory it came with a halo hook up that I just hooked up because it makes them brighter than the factory ones I saw but you don't have to connect to work it takes some forscan entrys but works great on my 2018 Lariat.

Why would anyone want to add an extra piece of Hardware that may fail in the future and make diagnostic of the issue difficult.Especially when there is a simpler way of doing it.
You got BCM , you got wiring harness, you got headlights. ( OEM or with Ryan's harness that mimics OEM wiring )
With BFC or Motimoto conversation harnases you got BCM , wiring harness , more wiring harness with some voodoo boxes, then you got headlights..
besides those morimoto, BFC wiring harnesses are more expensive than Ryan's harness.

Agreed! @Ryan B Ryan maybe you could post a pic of your harness next to one of the others to absolutely show the differences in one shot why less is truly more. Harnesses made this was dont mimic oem....they in fact are oem. Just not run thru the main engine harness. Sorry, but anything with resistors, amplifiers, or diodes and wires required to be connected directly to a 12v source 8mho are garbage. They are the ones that try to mimic oem....lol snake oil 101

The correct way to do this install is with a legit harness like Ryan sells and then making Forscan changes. Do it right the first time. I can't believe people buy $2000 headlights and then cheap out and cut corners on the install of them.
