A while back I received and installed Truck Lite Phase 7 LED headlight and passing lights from Discount Fleet Supply. There are plenty of posts about their quality and about installation. I experienced a problem I have not seen on the Forum. The left passing lights did not work. The original light worked fine in the same plug.

I contacted Discount Fleet Supply and explained. They sent out a replacement, no questions asked. They did mention that mine was the first light that anyone had problems with.

I received and installed the replacement. It failed to work. I plugged it into the right side and it worked. I plugged the right side bulb in the left plug. It did not work.

So the left plug is obviously the problem but the stock light worked fine. Then it dawned on me. The stock bulb does not care about the polarity of the plug. But LED's are different technology and maybe they do care about polarity. Then I finally noticed that the ground pin in the plug did match the ground pin from the light. I reversed the pins in the plug and all is good.

The moral of the story is, if you trouble with LED installation do not assume MOCO configures their plugs correctly.

Makes sense about the polarity as they are a Light Emmitting Diode.  Diodes are dependant on polarity to function, or not.  Interesting post!

I assume that the MOCO doesn't do much of anything correctly and I have yet to be disappointed.

I'm happy to hear you got that passing lamp to work... thanx for the heads up!

They worked fine on my '07 Ultra when installed a few months ago.  Glad you figured it out.  They work great together!

I had a question for you Eagle eye, was there a reason that you didn't choose to go with the passing lamp LED also? How do you like the Head Lamp change out. Also is the color different that the HD or other version LED lamps. It describes them as, •Pure white light output is closer to the color temperature of daylight, dramatically improving light projection distance and overall visibility with a bright, crisp output I have been really curious about this. I know the other LED lights seem to have a blue hint of color to them.

Thanks

Jenady,

Did you have any problem with any adaptation with the Headlight or the Passing Lamps in your installation?

Thanks

Willy,

No, other than the wiring issue it went very smoothly. Everything is plug and play.

And which ring did you install around the lights? Have you got picture of the new lights mounted and lighted?

[CVO Jack]

I used the hd frenched trim rings

Thanks for those pics... they are the exact trim rings I have and gives me an idea how the lights would look with them.

With the bulbs extended out further do they still seal up to prevent excessive moisture from entering into the fairing?

No worries in regards to water entering the fairing... FYI I paid $382 for both the headlamp and passing lamps .. Free shipping and no tax...
