  1. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    Not a problem. I kind of get lost in some of @airline techs posts too. I beleive you and I are seeing the same things. When you are in park and have the headlights turned on. And turn the key to the on position, you will not get a startup sequence. This is because the headlights are directly...

    " @Big Blue I was posting to your most recent post. In a way, I guess I'm trying to keep @airline tech in the loop. I know I can be a somewhat ignorant forum user.
  3. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    At this time, Morimoto (Headlight Revolution) has made the claim that this issue is on their radar. But they also claim nobody has ever sent a light back to them for testing this problem. I wonder what they would do if you/we approached them with the findings we are getting at different...

    I made a post back on page 3 that said this: I tested this as you requested and a little bit more: Ok...with no key in the ignition and the switch in auto, I changed the switch from auto to headlights. The lights came on with no startup. When I turn the key to start the truck, there is no...

    Still following along here. I appreciate the work you're doing. What I'm not sure about is if you want me to try something over on my end..

    Yah...I'm about to really do nothing about all this. Doesn't that make me mad?
  7. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    This reminds me about something I've learned in school about "race conditions" and the issues they can cause. Where 2 or more electronic components can compete for functionality. Now this was back in the 80's and I would have figured that these design issues would have gotten flushed out by...

    Speaking of "time factor". There are settings in my dash for lighting off delay (or something like that). I'm assuming you can set the time that lights go off after key removal for the curtesy lights. options are zero seconds to 20 seconds. I haven't tried adjusting that but since we are...

  10. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    I tested this as you requested and a little bit more: Ok...with no key in the ignition and the switch in auto, I changed the switch from auto to headlights. The lights came on with no startup. When I turn the key to start the truck, there is no change to the lights. The second thing I tried...

    I will give that a try and check back.

    Ok I get what you're saying. I forgot it was a PM between me and airline tech. I screen shotted as much as I could:
  13. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    I don't remember off the top of my head. I remember another Morimoto XB thread in this forum pointed that out and said where to make the change. Let me look and see how I got that info but I know it was in this Ranger forum. The supposed reasoning behind this was if left in the Halo mode, you...
  14. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    That's what I was experimenting with too. Upon opening the car door, the nightime DRLs light up. (courtesy lights?). When I insert the key and turn to the first stop, the night DRLs go out. I thought I was on to something by counting 1-mississippi before going the rest of the way. There are...

    So go back to As Builts in Forscan. I believe this is how I got into the As Builts in the first place. I was trying to see if the startup would work correctly when I changed it to 'Lariat'. So that setting made no difference in trying to get the startup to work right. Just my observation.
  16. Aftermarket Headlights - Wiring & Issues (Group Help)

    In my 2021 XLT, there is a check box in the settings menu on the dash for DRL. Right now I have that box unchecked and the fuse tap wire connected. I can't remember if I checked the DRLs with the box checked and the fuse tap disconnected. That's why I thought I could simply get rid of startup...

    Ok thanks brutha. I'm still tuned into this topic. Like some others have been saying, the weather has been keeping out of my garage. I was going to just try to disable the startup sequence since I can basically live without it. The issue seems to be multi-level depending on switch positions...
  18. Issues with morimoto xb headlights

    Let me ask you this. I haven't tried all the steps you outlined but I've also been thinking...if I disconnect the fuse tap wire then select DRL in my dash settings, will the startup sequence be disabled? And will DRLs still work properly? I'm thinking of just disabling startup sequence since...
  19. Issues with morimoto xb headlights

    Ok..thanks for that great response. I did not mention that Dark/Auto will sometimes work properly. And sometimes it doesn't work at all. My first issues were with the DRL. But between the fuse tap and the dash settings, I got those working. I tried setting the lights to Larioat using...
