Hello everyone,
Here's the model of headlights I have for my 2009 f150

I've had them for over a year and just recently started having problems with them. The one headlight is currently stuck on high beam, the shutter will not close it off. The right headlight is very dim. This could be due to a multitude of reasons. The body shop I had install them (deer wreck, front end, the whole bit) was complete trash and could've wired something wrong. Sometimes the other headlight will only work on low beams but when the high beams get turned on, no light comes out.
I did retrofit some LEDs into them when I first got them over a year ago 'cause halogens are antiquated garbage, but I've never had this issue 'till recently. Has anybody had any similar problems and know what to do to fix them? I haven't tried opening them up yet, but that may be my next step. Thanks for y'all's help.

On the one with the stuck shutter, remove the bulb from the projector and use a screwdriver to gently and I mean super gently tap the shutter to try and break it loose. It may have jammed due to vibration.
Dim Led bulbs are generally due to heat damage to the driver that powers the led elements. May need to replace them.
Good luck.
