For got to add as well taillights don't come on when you unlock or lock. I'll post some pictures to let all see that it's not wright

They can be made to work better than the duals, it will just take a bit of wiring unless someone makes a harness to go from duals to quads.

With the quad headlights (dual bulbs) the low beams will drop out when the highs come on. It maybe possible to use AlfaOBD to change the truck BCM to the quad headlights so the lows won't drop out.
If your looking for more light, you could upgrade the low beam bulbs to H9(Google H11 to H9) for more light or go with LED bulbs.

Top is low beam and lower is his beam hi is carry dimm. And when light switch is in the off position that com on as day light running lights I no it's not wright. Just letting You all know dont switch to quad light if you got. A single lamp light.

Like mentioned above, your truck is programmed for duals. When the highs are switched on, the low beam circuit shuts off. You either need to program your truck for quads with AlfaOBD, or add a jumper with a diode from the high beam wire to the low beam wire, and also add a diode on the low beam wire BEFORE the spot where the jumper connects to it.
