2018 Morimoto XB LED full headlight replacement
#21
Here is a pic with the truck off. As far as the DRL's, they dim when you turn off the truck in the delay period before they turn off, If you park the truck and it's on - if you have just the parking lights they stay full brightness then turn off and all you're left with is the amber parking light which is mostly visible from the sides (looks similar to the size of a stock amber bicycle reflector). I can attest to the high pitch whine on FM stations. If you don't have a strong FM signal the LED's create this noise which is highly annoying. The downsides to these lights don't come anywhere close to offsetting the pros, they look amazing and I can see so much better at night, it's not even close.

Installed-- quick review
I installed mine today on my 2018. It was easy and I did it in about 2 hours. The fender flares gave me trouble not wanting to come off.
The headlights look great. I can't wait to try them at night. I have 2 small issues with them. The wires are a bit messy. They could have done better. The other issue is how low they were aimed out of the box. WAY LOW. I maxed out the passenger light to get it near wear my OEM lights were aimed.
I used the wiretap for the DRL. They are bright and then dim when the lights are turned on. It is not instant and happens within a few seconds.
I also installed the Morimoto XB fog lights. Pain in butt. Save yourself some trouble and pop the old ones out from the front. Be careful to not to rough up the trim. There is a Youtube video of it.

Well Hell. Amazing at night but.... the passenger turn signal sometimes gives a lamp out hyper flash. TRS is telling me to bypass the capacitor so I get take the front of the truck off for troubleshooting.
Anyone else having any issue like this?
I suppose I could Forscan it away but I'm disappointed with a $1500 headlight that wasn't supposed to do that.
