My new LED headlights came in today so I figured I’d install them to see how they are. I went with the Phillips H6054s. Well I got them hooked up and all was well for a minute until I switched back and forth from high to low beams a couple times. That’s when the drivers side went out. I uninstalled it, hooked that light to the passenger side, and it worked. So switched back to the drivers and it still worked. So fully installed it again and then nothing. And now that light doesn’t work on either side.
I checked the voltages at the plugs on both left and right headlights and get 12v, and then plugged in the original non LED headlight into the drivers side and that still worked (on low as the high beam was previously blown).
Im assuming I got a bad headlight and should be able to exchange it, however is there something else I should be checking before I plug a new one in to make sure the truck wasn’t the cause of the issue? All other lights on the truck currently work and other than a slightly melted fuse and some old blown bulbs when I originally purchased the truck I haven’t come across any light issues. But from what I read the fuse issue is common due to the draw of the lighting circuit (another reason why I went with LEDs)?
