I was actually hoping for a response from this fella, as his situation should be the same as mine, and he could at least let me know how many resistors/capacitors are needed and for which circuit's.

I was just venting a little anyway. Just pissed I can't figure out the issue and right now think there customer service sucks

fyi
I returned these LEDs. They would not stop turning off and on. Even with the added harness. Mine could have just been defective.

You needed some resistors or a LED decoder. Earlier in the thread a couple of us went over this. Our trucks are crazy about having the voltage and if it doesn't like it your lights will cut off or hyperflash.

I tried the decoder, but not a resistor. Wasn't impressed with them for the price anyway.
I bought these right after and the fired up with no problems.

Still think I am going HID on the fogs. I can move those to my Hi beam.

I'm using the OPT7 LED kits in my quads and running morimoto HIDs in my fogs. I haven't decided to run LEDs in my fogs just yet.

Where did you guys hide or zip tie all of the wiring? i finally got my low beams in and i dont know where to tuck all the wiring into. Did you also remove the circular cap or did you put it back in?

You need to tuck everything inside and put the dust cap back on. It will fit.

I just finished, i really appreciate all of your help. Pictures will come as soon as it gets dark enough. I dont have to worry about anything burning or melting inside the headlight housing do it? i shoved it all in there and put the dust cap back on.

Here we go, sorry for the buzzing and the screen flip at the end. This video is of OPT7 Low Beam Fog lights, the factory backup cam i just installed today, and a 60 inch tailgate LED bar.

I'm going to bring this back up. Now that some of you, besides AB, have been using the OPT7 bulbs for a while. What's your take on them? Still enjoying them, any issues with fitment, or flickering, or longevity?

Mine are still going strong. No issues yet.
