    Drivers side headlight, high and low beam won't work. Changed fuses and lights. I checked the relay as well. Turn signal and all other lights work perfect. What next????

    Have you tried putting a volt meter on the driver and passenger side and setting what you're getting?

    I just did. I have 4.5 v from center pin but nothing from other 2. Also, the white epoxy in tundra wiring harness is not hard. It's almost a gel. I'm pretty sure that is not normal. I have 18 v in fuse

    Any mods or additions at all? Count nothing too small. Are you the original owner?

    Yes. Original owner. I have a 3" leveling lift, had hids but drivers side went out. Had hids for almost 2 yrs. Figured it just burned out. Put plug and play LED LIGHTS in today and still didn't work. Checked everything and found epoxy turned to jelly on harness for some reason

    I had HID’s that used a motocontrol off the battery which caused the problems you are having with the HID’s and now the LED’s.

    I took out the motocontrol and bought a plug n play harness from @iHacker on here for my Toyota LED headlights. Problem solved.

    I'm pretty sure that's dielectric grease, not epoxy that you are seeing.
