Upgrade 2015 2500HD headlight bulbs


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys im new to the site, I have been looking through the site for years but finally decided to sign up. I recently purchased a GMC Sierra 2015 2500HD and noticed the stock head light bulbs and fog light bulbs suck. I had a 2012 chevy silverado before the 2500 that I had HIDs in and then swapped out LED bulbs in the headlights/fog lights and absolutely loved them. Going from the nice bright LEDs to the crappy stock bulbs in new 2500hd really sucks. Was wondering what kits yall are using in the headlights/fog lights???

I installed the Morimoto 35W HID kit, 5500k bulbs, and relays. Medium difficulty install due to a few items to remove and some tight working space but pretty straight forward. Very satisfied with the light output.

 

No false bright light flashes from oncoming traffic (one or twice as I've come over a hill) - very crisp line with low beams.... brights are like driving the SUN.

I have a Silverado but also have the Marimito HID kit, mine is 55W, super bright, had some minor issues with firing at one point, but hasn't came back after a fixed one loose wire...

 

I also swapped the High with Marimito LED's throw is about the same as stock but looks better and local light is much stronger... On the Silverado, highs and lows are two separate bulbs that can be turned on together...

xenon-depot.com kit, was recently $185 for the complete kit. Took a few hours to install due to pulling grill and headlight assemblies out, there is drilling required on the headlights due to the way the wires are concealed inside. They work great and the kit is good quality. Different color options are available for light temperature.

Ive ordered previously from ddmtuning for hids but had problems with flickering and eventually led to a bulb not turning on. So I'm debating going with hids again. Y'all have any problems with hids and daytime running lights??

I've contacted DDM, but got no reply. I saw another post tonight where they used the Xenon Depot HIDs.

I went with led kits for my lows and highs. Just had them put in. The shop that put my tint on installed them for me while they had it. Think it was a kit from putco, $180 each set. They did use the resistor things or whatever they are called to keep them acting right and not flickering. Wasn't wanting to deal with that like my last hid kit in my old truck. 6k color, looks real nice in the projectors, very hid like.

That's what I'm leaning towards, I really wish they came with LEDs stock but it doesn't seem to be that expensive of an upgrade and from the pictures people have been posting it makes a world of a difference.

Aftermarket LED's are nice but still lack the lumens compared to HID's. The best kit on the market for these trucks is by Diode Dynamics IMO. I first ordered a Morimoto set from another reputable place and had issues after a few months. First it was the bulb harness with bad connections at the bulbs, which Morimoto changed styles to fix (sent new bulbs). Then it was one bad ballast followed by another bulb in 8 months with flickering issues (not reliable). While the seller was great and took care of all my issues by warranty I'm not impressed with the Morimoto kits. I've had my Diode Dynamics kit for almost the same time, 8 months and couldn't be happier. Output is great and they fire up every time.
