The HD relay plus capcitor kit should solve that. Put the capacitor kit between the stock headlight bulb plug and the relay and make sure the capcitor kit has a good ground.

I do have the relay harness, I bought the Sierra spec kit. The capacitor is in-line before the harness. Like I said, it works perfect at night but not during the day with the lower voltage that the DRL provides. I'll re-check the ground for the capacitor.

I know for mine sobe the Drl's work when I put it in drive. I have an slt with a fxr retro I did.

They also come on when I remote start the truck and it's just sitting there.

The adjuster consists of a ball and socket joint mounted to a gearset that allowed you to adjust it.

 

Take the headlight out and you will find that the adjuster is removable with a quarter turn counter clockwise. You will see the arm with the ball on it. Extend it out fully by turning the adjuster and insert it back into the headlight, feeling it click back into the socket joint. Carefully adjust it in slightly to make room for you to reinstall the adjusted into the headlight housing. Adjust carefully or you will pop it out again, but no lasting damage should have been done

 

OK danger. Here's my problem. I don't know how but half of my teeth on the adjuster is wore smooth off. Now. I'm screwed. Tore the front of my truck apart and can't fix it. Damn

Try flipping the connector from the capacitor link that connects to the OEM input adapter that used to plug into your stock bulb. I drew it out and it's attached. I thought it would be easier to show you what I mean.

I just used some glue to hold the nuts and put all 4 bolts in to the brackets. Upgraded the size of the bolt and used all stainless. Also used larger stainless to hold the brackets to the housing, the same when I did it before the fast brackets in post 901.

Yup, I used stainless too.

Either your capacitor is bad, you have a bad ground, or the harness is backwards. I just tested mine and my DRL's work perfectly with the capacitor as it came. This should be what you have below. Refer to the second picture on swapping pins in the plug if that is indeed the problem.

This is all I had to do is flip the capacitor harness like you described. It works perfect now. Thanks everyone!

Ok guys. Got my fxr's adjusted the best I could out here on vacation in Colorado but I noticed one thing. I have the height of my cutoff maxed out and it's not high enough. I had a real issue getting everything stuffed in behind the cap and sealed up correctly. I think the new D2S igniters housings are too big because I had to modify the cap to get them to fit and it is really snug. Went through hell trying to get the igniter on the bulb to twist it on. Now it looks as though the igniter wire is rubbing it too. I just need to raise it up about a foot more to get it where I need it. Dang it. Any suggestions to get the height I'm looking for?

Im really confused by the wire in the photo. Its coming from the headlight of a morimoto HID kit.

This is the driver's side headlight and there seems to be no problems with the HIDs functioning. Did I do something wrong ?

I don't have morimotos but looks like an end that plugs into a ballast or error cancellers

If everything is working right, don't question it [emoji1]

Anyone have the Morimoto Silverado Spec in factory projects?

[kchiasson64]

I do
