Default Driver Side LED Headlight not working

Trying to find some insight on LED headlights for my 2016 JK. My driver’s side JW Speaker LED headlight stopped working. I replaced both with different LED lights. Both headlights came on and worked correctly on low and high beam. After about 5 min, the driver side headlight stopped working again. Passenger side still works correctly. Any thoughts about what is causing this and how I can fix it? Thanks!

Throwing a code? Look at the TIPM/fuses/relays associated.

One big thing all of us can do is get our hands on the wiring diagram set for our vehicles. Big help for us as these vehicles age river crossing by river crossing. I tried and there are no CD's around for my 2008. Can only buy the CD for 2011 & newer.

Hi Dave, I went to high school out there at Northwest back in the day and spent many a time driving through Haslet back before much of anything was there. I'm a little confused by the original post. You had JW Speakers, and now you have replaced those with a different LED headlight? What headlights are currently installed? When the JK stopped working, did you try to swap sides at all to confirm if it was the unit itself or the wiring on the driver's side?

What's the story on the associated pulse width modulation boxes and these headlights? I had (what I thought) was a PWM issue. Mine turned out to be my own doing where there was corrosion in the harness from cutting into it years prior, but it was inconsistent. I purchased a spare PWM box and after fixing the harness, I've not had to use it.
