Default HID Problem

Last year I installed a set of the new HID's in my 2012 with the wiring harness for sale on the forum, just tonight they've started giving me issues. I noticed that first they would spaz when I locked the truck, and now they won't turn off. Even if the light switch is in manual off, they're on until the battery is disconnected. Any ideas? I'm thinking either the DRL module or the relay in the wiring harness I had to put in, but am by no means an expert. Any help would be great

Is there a relay on the harness? If so, try tapping on the relay. Bad relays "stick" sometimes and tapping on them can turn them off.

I hear the relays in the harness are prone to sticking, particularly in cold weather. Suggest looking into that, possibly get a new relay from TRS or contact the person you bought the relay from for a new relay. Your old one might even be under warranty. Tuxedoblack11 can likely help you out with this.

Any ideas where the relay is located? I don't think the wiring harness for hooking up the HID's included one, so I'm assuming it is still running on the stock relay.
