Default LED headlight HELP

Hey guys, I have a 2017 xlt and I just put in the morimoto 2 stroke led bulbs in my non projector housing, the light output is great and the beam pattern is really good too. My problem is that the lights will stay on when the key is on, as soon as I start the truck they shut off a moment later. I have all of the correct harnesses in also. Does anyone else have this problem and wondering if anyone has any ideas that can help! Tomorrow I will try disconnecting the battery and see if it’s something with the computer and try to reset it but other then that I’m at a loss. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I had this issue but for some reason it was only on the passenger's side. I had the canbus modules but I figured I would try without first. Canbus modules fixed it.

Thanks again for everyone’s help, I went to the local distributor (lightwerkz) and they recommended for me and provided a new harness that connects to the battery, similar to one from a hid system, they also gave me an anti flicker capacitor. Just finished wiring everything up and it does indeed work! I can’t wait to get out of work and drive around tonight in the dark, haha. I will post pics later to let you guys see how it came out.

I'm interested to see what your headlight pattern will be like with the large LED chip. Be sure to take a pic against a wall to see how the cutoff pattern is.

Lights I think came out awesome, pattern is good, distance is great and brightness is awesome too. Didn’t get flashed by anyone yet and went on a long drive, looking forward to more dark roads and hopefully they last a while because taking the front end apart on this truck sucks. Excuse the uneven driveway for he wall pic lol.
