Did you buy a cheap set of LED lights from amazon or something? sounds like its screwed up from the manufacture.

It is a set from osram. From my research they seemed ok. First set was from a body shop repainting the jeep. With the same result. Open to other suggestions before I tear the wiring apart.

this might be a possible explanation. I bought a set of HIDs for an 88 Crown Victoria. But to get them to work, I had to change the pins around in the plug. I think that there has been a change somewhere along the line in pin placement. You may have a mixed set. Check your plugs for which pins have voltage when the lights are on

Lol, yeah, that's what I did. They worked great for a year, now I have similar issues.
Solution? HID Kit?
