I think that's it, except they provided an additional harness. My product didn't come w/installation instructions. I've been trying to get a copy from the vendor who is literally impossible to get in touch with.

Well that makes no sense at all and is zero help! Hard to tell, can't see outside lower mounting point, but still looks like a ROW headlight. What is a "FAR AND NEAR LIGHT".

And what extra harness?

I have taken another deep dive into this and will follow up as I have to review what was previously tested by @Big Blue on the startup sequence (issue) and that tapped power source. I think I see why it's happening but need some more time to review and think some more on the subject.

If you have the NA version which is the last pic.

If you connect the ACC plug temporarily to a positive that may turn on DRLs. In that case, then the fuse located for KEY ON will turn DRLs on with key switch and the rest of the functions are handled inside headlamp. I would believe that the option on Cluster for DRL needs to be off.

Thank you! I have the NA version. The graphic above says "if original vehicle has no daytime running light" - which mine did. Would this make a difference to the process above?

Without better information I agree with this. The DRL option needs to be off in the dash menus so the truck is not sending reduced voltage to the low beams for the DRL function.

Still curious as to what the turn signal plug is all about. Thought that was a ROW thing, not something we have in NA. It looks like the main plug they are showing is missing pin 8 not pin six like are NA Rangers.

Any documentation I've seen from V-land, and that's not much, has always been a bit suspect. Badly translated from a foreign language.
