I ordered a full set of high and low-beam LEDs from Headlight Revolution in April of 2025 (GTR Ultra 2 LED High Beams and CSP Mini LED Low Beams), and installed them without incident. They have fans in their assembly for heat dissipation, which I can hear running when I shut down the truck. Great improvement in brightness and I have been happy with them.

Since the onset of summer in Arizona, I'm sure they are running hot, and I do typically leave my lights on during the day. Recently I noticed that the driver's side headlight appeared to have gone out, and verified it when I arrived home at night that it was indeed unlit.

The next day I pulled the light bulb out and unplugged it - it looked like the bulb was fine, but the plastic plug assembly from the truck appeared to have a brown stain as if from overheating. I opened a ticket with Headlight Revolution and was told I would have to send them a photograph of the light bulb assembly literally broken in half to prove it was nonfunctional, but I see no easy way to do that. While mulling it over I went ahead and reinstalled it - then it started working again. To avoid overheating I turned the lights off during the next couple of days, but then it was out again the other night when I got home.

I have had at least one person tell me that the truck wasn't designed for LEDs, and that I am probably going to keep having this issue - but would love to get some input from the community here. The lights were advertised by HR as being for 2019-2023 Rangers, there is a very good YouTube video showing installation, and I see no damage to the bulb itself. Any ideas or next steps would be welcome!

Add me to that list of people. Switch back to OEM bulbs - problem solved.

Sure, they fit in the socket and housing but that’s about it. If they are discolouring the socket and failing, they will probably burn your Ranger down to its rims. Throw them in the garbage.

I had Auxito for a couple of years until I stripped an adjuster. No issues with the bulb. I switched to AlphaRex Novas. Twice as bright as LED bulbs in the factory fixture and a better pattern.
