Anyone try Modifystreet headlights?

[1500ram12]

You adjust it from under hood, there is hole on side above lights. No need to remove the lights to adjust. Put a Phillips in hole where you can see the adjuster and turn until you see lights move, is quick and easy, nothing to remove.

Just went back out and tried with a #3 Phillips like Jimmy07 mention and was able to adjust it. I was looking for the actual head of the bolt/screw to adjust with. This is my first pair of "aftermarket" (other than tyc) headlights so I'm used to dealing a factory adjustment.

You'll just have to put one on the black wire and to ground. Black will be the parking light on that harness. If you are only really having issues with the parking lights than this could work. Alphaobd is still your best option

So should I have 2 resistors on either side. Still plan on going the alfaobd route but I wanna know if I screwed up. Because right now I don’t have a resistor on the black wire.

Don't feel bad, I asked Alpharex how to adjust lol I never seen it like this either, my past 2 aftermarket had stock like adjuster.

 

[1500ram12]

It's not adjusted through fender hole, open hood and you will see holes with arrows, one of them is for headlight, stick Phillips screwdriver in hole that has adjuster and turn slow, eventually you will see movement. Here is a diagram showing where hole is to adjust

Thanks. I've adjusted the quads I had in my truck 100s of times after adding led's. These lights threw me off

Yes you'll have 2 per side 1 for turn and 1 for parking on each headlight

So which wires should the 2nd resistor be tapped into?

Black (parking) wire in the same harness will go to the blue (ground). You already have a resistor on white(turn) to blue (ground)

So I’ll have tapped into the blue twice and black once and white once. Ok.

Correct.

Question, I'm getting alphaobd to set lights to led. But still confused on connecting the red drl wire. I have drl activated in my bullydog tuner and my high beams come on in daytime. So where exactly do I run red wire to, a specific drl fuse or any fuse that is hot when trucks running? Going to add Led lows and fogs also, I shouldn't need resistors if activated in alpha correct?

If your lights should have come with a separate wiring harness like this



The 2 ends with the pins on them plug in to the red wire coming off of the headlights. Then the other connections are battery, ground and goes into the fuse box to a keyed on fuse. You'd disable drl's from your tuner if you only wanted to use the headlights actual drl's.

Since you plan on getting alphaobd, I posted how to wire up a dedicated drl feed to your truck a few post back, so in alphaobd you could enable the dedicated drl option

To somewhat piggyback on this, I understand that gray wire goes to the fuse box, but where in the fuse box?

Someone posted a couple of days ago which fuse they used but any fuse the gets power when the truck is running will work

Alright guys or gals. I've let ya down. You've given me all the help you can but I still can't get them to work properly. Think I'm gonna have to take it to a professional at this point.

It just may be that resistors aren't the solution. It's possible that the anti flicker adapters would work better. I can tell you with a 100% certainty that changing turn/park to led with alphaobd works.

Yeah, you mentioned before that you ordered the OBD adapter and possibly getting the alfa software. No sense in paying more for somebody to figure it out.

 

[Bennutts]

I had actually forgot I ordered it. I was so frustrated with the whole thing.

All this drl talk confuses me lol. If alphaobd enables a dedicated drl option, what is the drl on on my tuner doing? Isn't that my dedicated drl activated already? I understand how to connect the relay harness for drl, but was trying to minimize wiring if my drl already is working, thought I could run the red wires off lights a drl fuse? Not sure what alpha does more for drl.. Since my drls are already activated. Just confusing, guess I will never be a car electrical tech lol

Your tuner is enabling the DRLs in the wrong location for these headlights (high beams at half power). So, you’ll disable the DRLs from your tuner, use the AlfaOBD to enable the DEDICATED DRL circuit, and follow the wiring method @1500ram12 posted a little bit back. You won’t need to use the supplied DRL harness. I’ll see if I can find the post number on this thread...

So. Your tuner activates the drl's how they would come from the factory, using high Beam at reduced voltage.

Alphaobd allows you to choose where you want your drl's ( high Beam, lows, parking lights, or fogs and dedicated)

Dedicated is what trucks that came with factory projectors use. Which is the parking lights at reduced voltage (I believe, which just now raises a question that @Jimmy07 hopefully can answer. Does the dedicated drl feed run at reduced voltage and if so can you increase it?) basically the dedicated drl will allow you to add whatever you want as a drl.

So by using your tuner to activate drl's you are using the highs as drl's and using the supplied drl harness is allowing you to use the drl's that are in the headlights
