I hope this is in the right place.
I just recently completed the Sport headlight conversion. I am having some difficulty with getting the filaments to follow my commands.
All lights work as they should on low beam. Grab the lever, hit high, no problem. Hit it again to go back to low, no go. If you turn off the lights, it'll switch back to lows.
I followed the schematics I got from members of the TDR. Thanks guys! And all my connections appear to be correct. I am running two harnesses, one for each side of the truck, and everything has it's own relay and fuse.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that others had these same issues and it could be resolved with diodes. Now I don't know anything about diodes, so I need to know what to get and where to put it (on the truck would be helpful).
If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be eternally grateful!
Dave
