Try tapping switched power. If it si staying amber, it thinks the signal is on.

Does it behave the same with the parking lights on and off?

What is switched power?

Yeah, same with parking on or off. While halos while in park, as soon as I shift to drive or reverse, they turn amber and stay amber.

While halo while parked and amber blinker while also on park.

Default Halo Turn Signal Problem

I just received a warning for my DRL in Florida being another color other than white or Amber. So I wired the power wire for the halos into my switch pod, now I have better control than my phone for turning them off and making sure they are off but when I use the turn signal all 4 halos flash. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this or am I going to have to disconnect them from the turn signals?

I'm not sure where I connect it to allow the Halo DRL to work.
Any ideas?

See attachments.

My Daughter just bought a Jeep with these head lights. The OEM front parking lights and front turn signals on it do not work at all. They don't work in the head light also.The tail lights work but when she uses either the rt or left. BOTH rear lights flash together. Is there a setting in the app for the signals? Or do I have a wiring problem?

Ricks - some amateur got to the wiring. Go back start again and simply hook up the low and high beam and ground and go from there IE the plug in to the original harness for the headlights and remove the yellow wires to wherever. I believe the Halos are for DRL (which tell others you are coming - SAFE) and you simply leave those 3 wires connected and tape off all else to have basically a stock Jeep with nice headlights and halo DRL. Being in the US you may have to go in with a programmer (EG JScan) and turn on DRL. DRL will turn off halos when headlight switch is on. Get the system back to normal then start from there.

I figured something was wrong with the aftermarket lights so I removed the LED front parking lights and hard wired in some old 1157 bulb sockets and got the fronts working. Had to ground the black wire on the left side tho... But the tail lights still both flashed when either left or right turn signals were on. I decided to remove the LED tail lights and test all lights at the connectors with my test light. I took out the trailer light harness and found that when the left turn signal had 2 terminals flashing. I figured what one was for the left side and CUT the one that I thought was powering the other side. Now ALL the lights are functioning properly. What a mess!

Default DRLs shut off when I shift into Drive

which fuse did you select? I used M2, M7(batt), and the halo DRLs still turn off and headlights turn on as soon as I shift into gear and disengage parking break.

Welcome Redleg to JKF.. the original post is from 2016; I checked your profile is shows a 2018 JK, is this correct. The more information you post will provide a base for all the members; We are a good group of Wrangler owners who have much knowledge and willing to share. Perhaps you should Post up your issue in a new thread which should get more attention as the original has a 2016 date.
