Morimoto XB gen 2 headlights causing my fuse to blow.

Yes they are Gen 2's. Headlight Revolutions stepped up big time. Sending me a new pair and I'll send the ones I have back. I really hope that fixes it. If it doesn't then I wouldn't know what it is. I'm very confident I installed everything correctly and I've even taken it to the dealership to make sure something else wasn't wrong. I appreciate HR getting back to me. My fingers are crossed. Hope this fixes everything.

 

We're expecting a status report!

 

I haven't experienced a blown fuse but I just installed the XB gen 2s for tundra 14+ and the lights are VERY dim. There is no way I can even drive at night with these lights. I am really sad to hear that the most expensive headlight available has so many issues

 

Have you tried them with the truck running,as well as off? Just randomly curious is all

 

For me, when the headlights are on, they are so much brighter than my previous ones are. That's why I'm so disappointed with the blown fuse issue.

 

Yes, unfortunately the lights are still acting up. I'm going to pull everything out and reconnect everything to see if that fixes it :[

 

Heres an update, I went to go buy a multimeter today to test for blown fuses later and I noticed that my Automatic gear indicator is out. The cabin lights are all very dim too. I am assuming it did either blow a fuse or popped the LED for the gear indicator. Very strange. This is such a hassle. I gotta say the headlights look great though.

I tried installing them yesterday and the DRLs, indicator and turn signals work, hazards work. But the actual headlight itself is VERY dim when I turn them on. But when I turn them off, they get bright. Very weird. only the left side high beams work. There is also a strange pause where the lights turn off then back on when I switch between lighting modes as well. I don't know jack about wiring or electrical. This is about to be a PITA to fix

 

Dang that is unfortunate. I hope you get it fixed.

 

I have good news! Big shout out to @Headlight Revolution. They sent me a new pair of headlights. Unfortunately I had the same problem. They asked for detailed photos of how I wired everything. They showed the photos to their tech who said I needed to reverse the black and yellow wires on the signal adapter. It was pretty easy pushing the wires out of the adapter and switching them around. I plugged the back in and my headlights worked without blowing a fuse!! I attached some photos of my truck with the headlights on. One with the turn signal on, one with headlights on and one with just the DRL on. I apologize for the dusty truck. I hadn't drove the truck much in the past month because of the headlight issue. It's due for a wash now.

 

Glad we could find that issue! Hopefully any others in the future with similar problems can find this thread and put it to use. The Tundra is looking amazing!

 

Good ending here. You guys run open box deals when items are returned?

 

I just purchased the miromoto xbs from Headlight Revolution for my 19 Tundra. I loved the way they looked and I read some good reviews. After purchasing them I ended up digging a little deeper and I seen that there were many issues with them and I wanted to return them. Headlight Revolution informed me I would need to wait until i have recieved the items to have them returned. I received the XBs and harnesses and I was waiting on the fogs. Long story short I ended up installing the headlights, along with the harnesses needed for factory LEDs. Everything worked right and I was happy with the way they looked, at first.

After approx one week, I had blown fuse problems, my tail fuse would pop and I had no daytime running lights. Try to install a new fuse, turn on the lights and it popped right away. I decided I'm not gonna mess with them I'd rather not cause the damage to my truck with some aftermarket headlights. I installed my factory leds and luckily everything works correctly.

So I contacted Headlight Revolution again, they will only refund for the headlights and the fog lights. The wiring harnesses and the drl delete will not be refunded. Also I have to pay return shipping which is not what I was told by Headlight Revolution when I originally wanted to cancel the order. I'm just posting this as a buyer beware situation. I'm pretty disappointed in these lights, 1600$ and they have so many issues. It should not take 1 or 2 months of troubleshooting after an install. And I'm less than happy with Headlight Revolutions customer service.

 

I’m going to try this. Just noticed today that my 3 amp also blew on the Morimoto relay for my 10’ Tundra.

 

Did that fix the issue going forward. My DRl stopped working recently.
