575 2.0 Install and Troubleshooting Guide

This guide is for our 575 2.0 Installation Guide with Removable Glass/Trim Ring

This guide is for our 575 2.0, which features a glass trim ring with removable glass and an integrated projector system. 575 2.0 uses a fully integrated wiring and control design, so there is no diode harness or external adapters required. Follow the steps below for proper installation and setup.

Overview — Installation for 575 2.0

Identify Your Wiring (575 2.0)

The 575 2.0 features a fully integrated wiring system designed for simple installation. These lamps are plug and play using a standard 3-prong H4 connector and do not require a diode harness, PCU, or external adapters.

Plug the H4 connector into your factory headlight socket and confirm it is fully seated before proceeding with mounting and aiming.

The lamp includes an integrated low and high beam function, which is why the H4 connector uses three pins. Some vehicles may have a high beam connector with only two pins. In these cases, you can use our H4 Splitter to enable all four low beams and all four high beams to function properly. Alternatively, an H4 3-pin to 2-pin adapter can also be used.

Step 1 – Remove the Existing Headlight

Remove your current sealed beam or headlight assembly. Set the trim ring and mounting hardware aside.

Step 2 – Install the 575 2.0

Place the 575 2.0 into the headlight bucket with TOP facing up. Make sure it sits flat and centered.

Step 3 – Connect the H4 Plug

Plug the 3 prong H4 connector into your factory headlight socket. Ensure the connector is fully seated.

Step 4 – Secure the Headlight

Reinstall the trim ring and mounting hardware. Tighten the screws evenly until the trim ring is fully seated, and do not exceed 15 in lb (1.7 N m) to avoid cracking the glass.

Step 5 - Check Low and High Beam Functionality

Make sure your vehicle battery is fully charged, then switch the headlights on. Verify both low and high beam operation. Low beam should produce a flat, horizontal cutoff. High beam should create a larger stepped pattern that projects above the low beam cutoff.

Step 6: - Halo Wiring

If your headlights have halos, please refer to our Halo Wiring and Install Guide for detailed instructions.

Step 7: - Aiming Headlights

Aim your headlights using our Aiming Guide to ensure proper cutoff height and alignment. Follow the instructions in the guide to adjust your factory bucket until the cutoff is level and centered.

Troubleshooting

Electrical and Power

My 575 2.0 will not turn on. What is the first thing to check?

Confirm the 3 prong H4 connector is fully seated in the factory headlight socket. Then check the vehicle side connector for corrosion, loose pins, or a weak ground.

How do I confirm I installed it correctly before fully reassembling everything?

With a fully charged battery, turn the headlights on and verify low beam and high beam operation. Low beam should have a flat horizontal cutoff, and high beam should project above that cutoff.

One headlight works and the other does not. What does that mean?

Swap the two headlights left to right. If the problem moves, it is usually the headlight, not the vehicle side. You can also swap the LED drivers left to right to isolate whether the driver is the issue. If the problem stays on the same side, check the vehicle wiring, connector, and ground.

Do I need a relay harness for 575 2.0?

No. 575 2.0 draws less than 2 amps, so a relay harness is not needed. If you have electrical issues, they are typically caused by wiring, grounds, or connectors on the vehicle side.

My low beam works but high beam does not, or vice versa.

Confirm the vehicle side H4 plug is oriented correctly and fully seated so the pins match the correct terminals. Then use a multimeter to verify your vehicle is supplying proper voltage to the correct H4 pins for low and high beam. Watch a video here.

If voltage is missing or on the wrong pin, the issue is on the vehicle side wiring, switch, or relay harness.

Fitment and Installation

Will 575 2.0 fit my 5 inch headlight bucket?

The front fitment is 5 inch and it will seat into the bucket opening. 575 2.0 is approximately 3.5 inches deep and should clear all radiator supports and wheel wells.

What if the lamp hits something behind the bucket?

If the interference is minor, we offer 3D printed spacers that push the lamp outward slightly.

Why does my beam pattern look wrong after installation?

The most common cause is incorrect orientation. Make sure the headlight is installed with “TOP” at the top and the bucket is clocked correctly. Incorrect clocking will rotate the cutoff and reduce visibility.

Can I overtighten the trim ring?

Yes. Do not overtighten the trim ring onto the glass. Excess pressure can crack the glass, especially during rapid or extreme temperature changes. Do not exceed 15 in lb (1.7 N m) to avoid cracking the glass.

Can I install the buckets in the wrong position?

Yes. Headlight buckets can be confusing and it is possible to install them in the wrong slots or with the wrong clocking. If the headlight does not sit flat or the beam pattern looks rotated, recheck bucket orientation before troubleshooting anything else.

Moisture and Water Exposure

Is condensation inside the lens normal?

A small amount of condensation can be normal, especially during extreme weather changes. Headlights need to breathe, so brief fogging can occur and typically clears when the lamp warms up.

How do I clear condensation?

Run the headlights for one to two hours to fully warm the assembly and evaporate moisture. Contact us if condensation does not go away after a week.

Can I wash the headlights?

Avoid directing high pressure water streams at the lamps. While they are designed for normal weather exposure, direct water spray is not recommended.

Halos

Where do I find halo wiring instructions?

Use the dedicated Halo Installation Guide page for the most current wiring instructions. That guide is updated as halo options change.

Can I install halos without a driver?

Very few of our halos are meant to be installed without a driver.

Do not install halos without drivers unless the instructions explicitly say a driver is not required.

Installing halos without the proper driver can permanently damage the halo and is not covered under warranty.

Glass Damage, Warranty, and Support

My glass is cracked or broken. What do I do?

Yes. 575 2.0 uses removable glass that can be replaced. Replacement 2.0 parts are available for purchase here.
A replacement gasket is also recommended and can also be purchased here.

What warranty comes with 575 headlights?

All of our headlamps include a 5 year warranty. Warranty coverage and exclusions are detailed on our Warranty and Returns page.

What is not covered under warranty?

Glass damage is not covered. Electrical issues caused by improper use or installation are not covered, and we do not accept returns or exchanges on lights that have been modified. Refer to the terms on our Warranty and Returns page for full details.
