Truck lite install problem
« on: June 17, 2013, 08:28:43 PM »

I am installing the new Phase 7 truck lite and the passing lamos are giving me issues.. Only one side will light up and I have switched the lights and put the stock ones back in and they all work as should, but when I put the truck lite on the Left side it refuses to light up no matter with passing light I am using, has anyone ever ran into this issue before?

I remember someone posting similar problem.... If memory serves me right the stock lights aren't polarity specific (think that's what it's called) from the factory... there is not a specific positive/negative in the factory plug so to speak however the LED lights are (positive/negative plug specific). If the light will work on the other side and the factory lights are still working it very well may be you will need to switch the factory wiring on the side that's not working so it will be specific (+/-) for the LED's.

I had that issue and can remember two others that did.  The stock bulbs could give a chit less for positive and negative.  So, Harley being Harley, the harnesses were apparently not uncommonly sloppily put together.

If the bulb works on one side and not the other this is almost certainly what you've got going on.  Just swap the two wires on whichever side isn't working.
