Just seeing if anybody has had any luck getting the aftermarket headlights to work properly or what was used so they will. Haven't had time to mess with mine lately but will start again shortly. Gonna try and make my own harness and hardwire into my factory headlight wiring. That way I dont have to worry about the jump connectors they use.

I had the same issue with multiple LED headlights, adding resistors etc. Seems like it is only an issue for some 2007's. I ended up wiring up the headlights to 2 relays (1 for LB and 1 for HB) and have a 3 way switch to control them. Yes it sucks it doesn't run off the factory controls but having some real light to see at night is worth it to me.
