Default Headlight issues

Hello all,

Apologies if this is posted in the incorrect place. Firstly here is my setup so you all have some background. I have Osram led headlights off of Amazon which have been great. The headlights are connected to an aftermarket relay harness. I have replaced the headlight switch and the turn signal/brights switch.

Here's my issue. Sometimes when I flick on my brights when I'm driving when I flick back on to regular beam position, the brights come off and the regular beams do not come back on so I'm left in pitch black. The parking lights do stay on but obviously they are not meant to provide driving light. If I toggle back to brights they work, however I can't just drive around with my brights on everywhere. To get the headlights to come back on regular beam, sometimes it helps to spam the brights toggle on/off a bunch of times and then sometimes the regular beams will come back. Im not sure what else I can do to fix this issue other than the replace the switches again but they didn't fix the issue last time. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Could be a relay issue. Try swapping relay positions and see if the problem happens with the high beams.

If your Jeep has factory fog lights you need to make a jumper. Look on K Suspension website under FAQ.

It's actually a valid point. But what can you say about this page of LED head lights and especially about reliable model called SuiTech Jeep Wrangler Headlights 7 Inch Round LED Headlight Conversion kit? It looks like it's one of the best on nowadays lights' market. Don't you think so?
