No, not a relay harness, a canceler. Two completely different items.

Just found something else out. The lights work perfect when the truck is off but as soon as I turn the engine on they start to flicker for a few seconds and then shut off. Can someone explain that? Is this a canceller issue?

I had relay harness mixed up lol

It does the same thing on whether I turn them on myself or automatically. I thought it could've been the engine vibration but I banged around on it while it was off and they were flawless

Well I contacted the vendor and it turns out that my order wasn't complete. Capacitors were supposed to be sent with it to keep it from flickering so they're sending them. The pics will have to wait.

I must say that I'm impressed with the service of this vendor, very prompt.
