There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

You might start by checking fuse 5 in the right hand jcase box. The lower, larger fuses.
It could be loose.

F-3 now has twin filament, but if yours has the SHUTTER I have a doubt both became STUCK at the same time !!!! so it could be the switch has failed ......it's under warranty .....and Pitbull is just down the road .......Mike :thumbup:

Are you stuck on high beams? Then the shutter is stuck open. Usually one side will go wonky and the other side will still operate normally.

SpyderAnn, I can't tell if it is high beam or low beam....the high beam low beam indicators work but nothing else changes...

Could you have forgotten a connector or maybe not pushed them together?

It's easy enough to knock something loose.
At least I have a long list of stuff that I have.
I don't remember if the shutter is operated by a separate connector but it might be worth a looksee again.

I'm going to guess you inadvertently jammed the shutter mechanism with the LED light wires or the power module. For more info about what you have to deal with check out these two threads.

You did install the Positive and negative on the lights correctly?? Because they will not work if inverted.
I found mine had to be reversed even tho the connector was installed correctly

:agree: ....WITH POSTERS on #14 & #15......( I didn't know you switched to LED's :banghead::banghead::banghead: )......both are common issues with that swap........Mike :thumbup::thumbup:

I put black to black wires....the Spyder's terminals were reversed.....I did put the LED drivers and wires inside of the door so I may have blocked the shutter mechanism....did not know there was a shutter mechanism and did not know I had to make sure the drivers and wires did not block the shutters...I am guessing you are correct and that is the problem...will check out the links and start taking Spyder back apart again..
Thanks for everyones help...

also if you have not done this already remove the led cover on the bulb..Mine had the blue cover. I think the newer kits they ship will be without the light covers..
Yep the lights will not work if the polarity is reversed..Ask me how I know..:shocked:

Shutter blockage would be my guess as that was my problem when I tried to stuff everything under the cover. I ended up doing it the same way as Lamont, but I notched the covers and not the housing thinking that if I had to go back to stock (Like trading in) I could just swap them.

Yea, I also bet it's shutter blockage. Since the harness comes up on that side its almost natural to want to stuff it in on that side where there is more room. With enough patience you can get the driver box and connector down the side like the directions show. The connector is the harder part, but you can get it down there past the silver ring. I actually tested mine and watched the shutter before I put the cover back on and it all works and no cuts. Lamonsters LED looks like it has a larger driver box so it may not actually fit in there.
