Electrical and Power
My LED Seven 1.0 will not turn on. What is the first thing to check?
Check the H11 connection first. The H11 plug is polarity sensitive, so if it is flipped the light will not turn on. Unplug it, flip it, plug it back in, and test again.
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.
If I plug the H11 connector in backwards, will it damage anything?
No. Incorrect polarity will simply prevent the bulb from turning on. Flip the connector and retest.
Do I need a relay harness for LED Seven 1.0?
No. LED Seven 1.0 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.
Fitment and Installation
Will LED Seven 1.0 fit my 7 inch headlight bucket?
The front fitment is 7 inch and it will seat into the bucket opening. LED Seven 1.0 is approximately 5 inches deep, so the rear of the lamp may contact nearby structures like a radiator support or inner fender depending on the vehicle.
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. If you need significantly more clearance, LED Seven 2.0 is much shorter at approximately 3.5 inches deep and fits more applications.
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.
Frequently asked question
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.
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.
