Alpha Rex Luxx Headlights for 2005 Excursion

So I bit the bullet and bought a set of the Luxx headlights for my 2005 Excursion. Pleased so far but having one issue that I am hoping someone on here has already figured out.

Below is the excerpt from the AR website.....

Introducing our 1st gen Ford Super Duty LUXX-Series projector headlights, meticulously designed to embody the aesthetic of 4th gen Super Duty trucks and adapted for the 1st gen Super Duty models. These headlights feature a switchback LED light tube surrounding the light, serving as a dynamic DRL available in two color options: white (default) or amber, easily switchable by adjusting the wires. The LED light tube also functions as a sequential turn signal in amber, enhancing visibility and style.

Additionally, our 1st gen Ford Super Duty LUXX-Series projector headlights come equipped with an activation light feature, serving as a running light when you unlock your 1st gen Super Duty. The top projector offers dual beam output for both low and high beam functionality, while the bottom projector serves as a DRL and is not the main light output. These headlights utilize LED chips developed in our own factory, ensuring reliable performance and superior illumination. Elevate your 1st gen Super Duty with our 1st gen Ford Super Duty LUXX-Series projector headlights, combining advanced technology with sleek design for an enhanced driving experience.


So here is the question. I have tied in the wires for the DRL LED light tube and it works perfectly....but nothing I do produces any light out of the lower of the two projectors.....as mentioned in the second paragraph.....what am I doing wrong? I am very pleased with the output and pattern from the upper projector.

Thanks,

Mike

At first I thought that the lower was low beam, and the upper were high, but it appears they all fire off fir low and high? Double check the connections per the instructions. Maybe you have a defective one. I hope they're reputable, They have a selection for the (2008-2010) Excursions...

Thank you for the reply. The do state that only the upper is used for high and low beam but the lower plays into the DRL scenario. Both work the same way so hoping that they are not defective. I will call them today and see what they say. Have a great week!

Mike
