In replacing stock headlights on certain trucks with new Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights, the onboard diagnostic system of the trucks do not read sufficient load resistance from the new lights and so the diagnostic system indicates that there is an issue with the lighting system and consequently limits the functionality of the lighting system. The present application seeks to provide a solution to this problem by creating a headlight adapter that integrates components for imitating the load resistance and switching functions of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) truck headlights (the “Headlight Adapter ”).
