When I did the first LED's they had a resistor that had to go on and would work fine. Cant remember exactly but I think the High and Low beams was mixed up and had to be programmed on the ECM to fix that. Once they did that I was good to go and had no problems with them other then being junk.

If been flashed already you should not have a problem but depending on the light you will most likely have a resistor on it. The OEM sly did not have that if I remember correctly.Another Canadian driver, ducnut and Stringb8n Thank this.

So you had the dual beam, right? I just want the low beam. High beams are perfect except maybe needing to be raised higher. They are when on, what I feel the low beams should be.Another Canadian driver, ducnut and Siinman Thank this.

Well I reckon $80 isn't that much of a loss if it doesn't work correctly. I looked at some pretty nice headlights online as well. But those are like you said, $1800.Another Canadian driver, ducnut and Siinman Thank this.

Yep all was LED high and low.Another Canadian driver, Stringb8n and ducnut Thank this.

Yep the good ones are not cheap but well worth the money if you can't see. Those lights always reminded me of our 1969 F100 truck. Could not see anything in the dark but it was so heavy built nothing could hurt the dang truck. ha HaAnother Canadian driver, Stringb8n and ducnut Thank this.

Just do a google for projector conversion kits. I bought my 2nd pair ($155) that im currently using 2 years ago. From a place called headlight experts dot com
Dont make a $85 mistake like i did, with the first pair.
Make sure you buy the ones with a seperate NOT built in anti blink resistor.Another Canadian driver and Stringb8n Thank this. -
I think that's who I was looking at for the HID H11 kit. I know the sensors or cancel things were extra they weren't included. So rather than $80 all together with extra bulbs $161Another Canadian driver Thanks this.

Deep Space Lighting. Look em up. A serious upgrade for about $400 if I remember right. Mine have been lighting my way for about 4 years now. I have yet to replace a bulb.
Edit: Looks like it's gone up to $475 if you have a late model VNL. Not hard to install. I remember doing it in a couple hours at home. I'm sure there's a video or two out there these days.

RubyEagle, Stringb8n, Siinman and 1 other person Thank this. -
Has anyone tried the LED bulbs that claim they’re internally CANBUS compatible? I’m willing to order a complete set for this T680. If they don’t work, I’ll just send them back to AZN. But, if someone knows they’ll definitely cause issues, I’ll skip it.
I’m looking at pairing together a lower lumen low-beam with a bonkers lumen high-beam. My hope is the low-beam won’t be too bright. If the pattern is scattered on the shop wall, they’ll go straight back to AZN.Stringb8n Thanks this.
