Here is me giving my take on if you should buy ebay lights. honestly, for how cheap they are I would recommend it, but don't be surprised if they aren't the best at night on the highway. I ended up putting HID bulbs in my ebay lights and they work great now!
Head Lights: www.ebay.ca/it...
Tail Lights www.ebay.ca/it...
Third Brake Light (not impressed, tried swapping all the wires, added a resistor, and still can not make it work, also their customer service is terrible! I would not recommend purchasing this brake light. www.ebay.ca/it...

I had to silicone around the housing and lense on some Ebay headlights before to keep condensation out. Worked well.

For all those who bought this 3rd brake light, a little info. I had an adapter with me that swapped the two inner cables. After that everything works as it should, the cargo lamps only light up when they are switched on from the inside. If you don't have the adapter, simply unpin the cable and plug it back in the other way around

My 3rd brake light was doing the same. It was the capacitors in the led's still holding voltage. 10k resistor should do the trick.

Nice video and I bought the same 3rd brake light and had the same problem then I went through the same process with the csr got a refund and bought the all led light which did the same thing and it was a different brand so I think u need to add a resistor to get it to work right I noticed thay the spec-B lights comes with a resistor built in like your tail lights did... Also where did u get your grill from?

What's up buddy that's a nice truck and this is a good video but I was wondering because I just bought those exact same headlights for my 2005 Dodge Ram where do the red and black wires go I'm not really good with this type of thing or I just never done it before do you have a tip for me or do you know what I should do
@darkirondiesel
@darkirondiesel 3 жыл бұрын
Hey buddy the black wires need to go to a ground, either the negative battery post or you can ground them out somewhere on the truck. The red wires need to go to ignition power, so when you turn the key on the LEDs in the headlight turn on.

Those headlights look so dim. Many people complained about the low beam projector not putting out enough headlight lumens. But the daytime running lights are awesome. To bad the regular headlights are so dim. I love the headlights, they look great cosmetically. But worried about the low beam for regular driving. Thus why I haven't bought them.

Were you able to adjust high beam up down ? I bought a set of spyder's a while back for an F-150 and you could only adjust the low beams.
@darkirondiesel
@darkirondiesel 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah I can adjust the low and high up down left and right with these ones, although it’s in a super dumb location. I can’t get to the adjusting screws while the lights are mounted in the truck so I had to remove the headlight, adjust it a bit, install it, and check it. I probably installed/uninstalled each headlight 10 times haha

Piece of garbage headlights, the only led 6000k light is the day bar running lights then low and high beams are halogen 5000k 55w so they not good for big city... If you like led don't buy those spyder headlights. I try get h1 light 6000k 80w and 100w a resistor from ebay,Amazon,napa and others and nothing don't waste your money on that if you looking for led lights.
