Edit: Title should say 'I have a question'. I'm using tapatalk and it must have cut it off.
I just finished swapping my 2011 Sport's quad headlights in favour of a set of oem 13+ projectors using the adapter harnesses from retroshop.us. Everything went great and I had no issues installing them, until I started up the truck to move it out of my backyard. When it is running and I hit the high beams, the solenoid inside the projector vibrates like crazy. I could hear/feel it over the engine running. Only does it when it's running. When it is off I hear the little clunk it makes when switching between high/low beam, but it doesn't vibrate. Its like it is energizing/de-energizing very rapidly when the truck is running. I assume this is not supposed to happen. Everything is plugged in right and properly and all lights work as they should. I mounted the resistors to a metal frame behind/below the headlight, and grounded them to the same mounting screws holding them down. It is a Canadian truck with DRLs, but I don't think that matters because it does it even when they are not active, such as in park or with the ebrake down a click.
Any ideas on what could be wrong? I don't want to ruin these lights.
