What a mess and a huge dissapointment since they had such great reviews. For the amount of $ I dropped on these, they are being sent back and hopefully they will do the right thing and refund them.
What the heck is a Canbus, a canceller and what is drls?
Also, why is no one posting a report of the Auxbeam LED headlights on this forum.
I think I may just give up and stick with the hologen until someone comes out with something that actually works on these 17 SD's
Any thoughts or comments are welcome
I got a fix for the flicker on the lower lights and I can hook you up. If you don't like the gt3 you can get ours, the design is similar but I definitely notice it's a cheaper made product just by looking at them.

When you actually get to run our lights you will understand the mistake on buying those auxbeams. You should be getting the fix end of this week at last!

Before you get rid of the auxbeams could you disconnect three out of the four headlights, place the truck against the wall around 35 ft away, turn the light on and show a picture. You will notice a flash light pattern and NO low beams that's why they look so good, it's made in purpose, that is why it looks like there's no good high beams, because the lows look like high and high well, it's high. Thanks Tricon

I am interested. What fix did you come up with? I'm only interested in plug and play that will actually work (not a maybe!) with no computer modification. My dealer already said he did some update that would enable me to run all of the LED's I want but I really don't trust what the dealer actually did do and the GTR lights did not work without outages. I've been on your website and I find it quite confusing.

The dealer can change the setting and all leds will work, They changed mine and every bulb in the truck is Led now with out any problems for 6 months.

Sorry about the page confusion, we are working on it but it's going to take time. It needs to be done from scratch. Basically you just need to mark the led kit option, mark 2 for quantity and checkout using coupon code SAVEME20% as we ran a 50% off for a couple of months to help members test drive our lights but we are past that, lights are great, feedback is great and you still get 20% off.

My fix is all plug and play and it's $40 for the set as it's custom made. I got to sit down and get it done because it doesn't exist anywhere. You should do what the other member said about taking it to the dealer if you don't want the drls. The point of my fix is to keek running the DRLs, someone people want them like Tricon, some people must have them if you are in Canada for example.

I would love to convert to all LED! I had a Fab Fours bumper installed that has extra power going to the new high power fog lights in the bumper and additional turn signal lights in the bumper as well. My turn signals were intermitently flashing rapidly. My dealer did some computer flash and I have not had a problem yet. I did though have a huge problem with the overpriced GTR Gen 3 LED's. Flashing lower and the drivers upper would go out when I started the vehicle. Any thoughts?

On your site it says to add one pair of drivers?, or whatever they are, and then it says to order one per light bulb. How many do I order? Is the price ($29.90) for a pair or each? or do I even need these at all.
Also, are you telling me your $40 fix will allow me to run DRL's or not. How do I order your fix or is it included with the bulbs when I order?
Can you see how the average guy is getting confused? I really would like to try them but I need a lot of clarification so I order ALL of the correct parts without having to return anything as well.
Just tell me what I need for plug and play to cover all situations without having to take it to the dealer again.

What the dealer does has nothing to do with the headlights. All they do is turn off the bulb out warning, That way it ignores the low voltage the Turn signals/Brake lights would trigger. All other lights you can change at anytime without issue, Including Head Lights Fog Lights.

Thank you for the clarification!!!! Obviously I'm really confused. In the old days someone would tell you that you have a light out and you'd replace a bulb. Very simple. You really have to be up to date on all of the systems, lingo and acronyms thsese days.

Curious if anyone has installed a LED tailgate bar on a 2017 F-250 with LED's all around? I put one on my 2013 F-150 and it raised havoc with the brake lights. Turned out I had to wire the tailgate bar directly to the battery.

Don't know how but I did order the h4 by mistake... just ordered the h13 now and lucky Amazon takes care of its customers so it's only costing me a little time. So that said I guess I'll be updating this later in the week or on the weekend lol
