Default Rigid LED dim when engine is on

Hi All,

I just got Rigid installed and plugged directly to factory highbeam harness. When I turn on when engine is off, the rigids instantly turn on full blast. When I turn on rigids when engine is on I have to wait about 5 seconds before it gets to full brightness. After I turn it on the first time (engine on), it turns on and off instantly thereafter. Any ideas?

could be overloading the headlight circuit, it computer monitored and protected. i would run the LED to a relay right off the battery and just tie in the relay control to the headlight harness.

Unfortunately, not what I was hoping for, but that was it! Had to run relay to battery. Now it turns on full blas with engine on and off. Would have been nice and easy if the H10 wiring adapter worked.
