Default 2006 STX headlight issue

Ok so here goes, '06 w/ LED headlights. The drivers high beam works to flash passing lights, but not if I just turn on the high beams. Not sure where to look. Any help?

What type of leds? It’s not likely an issue with your truck, but an issue with the lights. There are plenty of cheap Chinese made junk leds out there. More of those than good ones.

switch the lights from left to right to see if the problem follows the LED or if it still an issue on the left side

Moving the bulbs made no difference. The problem is somewhere on the left side...I think. Just not sure where to start since the bulb lights with the passing lamps, but not the high beam

Have you put the incandescent bulbs back in? Any issues there?
