Got some LED headlights for Christmas and now I can't connect them using the provided anti flicker wire harness to the stock headlight socket. I have done some research on this and I'm seeing that the truck lite harness, SMS kit are the go to's for the headlights. I also looked at the headlight revolution kit and I can't find any reviews on it. I'm looking for some guidance from the community on this matter.

 

I bought a whole standalone harness from rallylights.com more spendy but it bypasses the whole factory harness so i can hook up what ever with no issues. : )

 

Ok Jk's I am frustrated I was told the Quadratec anti-flicker harness for $50 was the best, however I must have got the Friday edition because they smoke and crack and stop my headlights from working. not just once but twice. I really love my aftermarket Halo led lights but if I have to replace this harness every month I won't do it. So where can I get a good quality upgrade?

 

Welcome there- have you considered maybe the issue isn't the Qtec harness but your halo lights?

 

the headlights work until the harness crack and burn, what would cause that and the headlights to work after a new harness is added?

 

It just seems odd that you'd have issues like that repeatedly. The LED lights on these vehicles are a stretch from where they should be to start with, and what I mean there is that our system wasn't designed for it. We're taking a pulsed signal and trying to rectify it while giving the computer the correct amount of feedback so it doesn't freak out. I'd be glad you're seeing the modules fail though. I had a set of factory LED fog lights put into a 2016 with various adapters. One set wouldn't turn the lights on, the other smoked my TIPM. These are sensitive systems. So what you're experiencing is the qtec units are likely tolerating your lights up until a point where the components are fried and that's where you're seeing the unit overheat and crack. Again- be thankful that it's happening there and not at your TIPM or within the wiring harness. The harness is $150ish per section and your TIPM is $600ish. Some folks are able to get away with the cheaper lights, but I'm a believer- I stick to tried and true.
