Sealed beam to halogen headlight swap problem
I recently replaced my work truck sealed beams on my 08' super duty with normal headlights from a friends 08' super duty. I bought some halogen pigtails and re wired them to my wire harness by looking at the dfuser adapter for pinouts. They work but my low beams and high beams are really dark. (Like just using parking lights while trying to drive at night) The high beams are basically what the low beams should be. I double checked the wire pinouts compared to the adapter and they look right. Is there something that is not letting me get enough voltage to the halogen sockets or do the need more voltage than what a sealed beam takes? I just bought stock replacement halogens, nothing fancy like hid's or anything. Any help is defintely appreciated. Thanks, Bret

How did you wire in the pigtails? Solder, butt connect, twist and pray, wire nuts, plug and play?
