    Got a pair of used spyders coming off another Tundra.

    Having issues with headlights coming on. After help from @ColoradoTJ and @smslavin I got most stuff on but missing passenger headlight to come on. Everything else works.

    When I click on high beams, I hear a clicking sound on the headlight that won’t turn on; any ideas? It flickers on high beam and then shuts off.

    If so, please explain like you’re talking to a 6 year old as I know nothing of these things.

    TIA

    I assume you tried another lamp to make sure it’s not just that?

    Gonna switch ballasts now to see if it could be a bad one. Can’t tell if bulb is bad; assume not since person I bought from had on his.

    I don’t even think mine came with bulbs. Just used everything from the stock lights.
    I think I have an Amazon coupon code for some Hikari LEDs. I’ll see if I can find it. I don’t need it.

    Looks like it’s one of the ballast. The 2 prong one has a false contact looks like
