Default LED headlights don’t work

I can’t get the LED headlights to work. The halogen work fine, and the LED blinkers also work fine. But not the white LED’*

Does it require a resistor?

Not sure. They are stock. I would think they should work. I have seen the same truck and they were on

I agree, and look for voltage at the connectors at the back of the headlight housings.

Both headlights might not be any good. I had issue with one headlight not working in same truck and found that it was probably the headlight driver was malfunctioning requiring replacement of the light. It would be odd that two would not work at the same time but possible.. Nothing is infallible. Did you buy from Amazon? Reports are you could get one bad light. Send them back and try again or if you know someone with same light, see if they would allow you to try one light.

The regular halogen bulb headlights work. It is the ring of LED’* around the regular bulbs that don’t work. I’m guessing these are stock lights.

Ok those are stock and I do believe that those are your daytime running lights. So check fuses and connections and for power at connections.

I checked the fuse. It was good. Haven’t gotten into the connections yet. But what are the chances both connections are bad? Neither side works

I guess I should’ve said I checked the headlamp fuse. #59 in the engine compartment fuse box. Not exactly sure if that’* the correct fuse. I don’t see anything labeled DRL
