Im sure you could make it happen if you really want to. Light would shine through the slots in the grille for sure, but some of the LEDs might be covered up due to the curve of the grille. Its hard to explain, but i did it on my 2007 NNBS Sierra with a 20" Rigid double row light bar and i will attach some pictures. I measured the grille slots on my old truck just like you said you did and if i can remember correctly the slot was around 2 to 2.5", just a little bigger than the 2014 grilles, so I decided to put one it thinking it would fit, but the curve of the grille covers up some of the LEDs so i trimmed some of the black plastic off the grille to try and make the LEDs all shine through. But if you really want to get that double row then go for it. If theres a will theres a way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I installed the Rough Country 2.5" level up front with 305/55R20 trail grapplers and 20x9 +14 offset fuel Mavericks I wanted to do a double row behind it but it wasn't going to fit the way I wanted it to fit through the slots so that's why I went with the single row I mounted a piece of angle iron to the two metal slanted bars behind the grille once you pull it off and I used some longer side mounts to push the bar close to the back of the grille. There is a thread on here somewhere with lots of ideas on how to do it. This is not my truck its a Silverado but it is basically the same way I did mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Yep Mikes got his facts straight. these are the light bars and they are from HarborLed. Ask for Cristian and he will hook you up, but shipping from China is not cheap at all, sometimes it's more than the actual light costs. I have been buying from him for a while and never had a problem. The optics are not like the crappy flat looking ones they are the new 3D optics and also my 30" light bar has optics that rigid industries uses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Decided to mess around with the grill a little bit. 30" single row led bar and a little paint. I decided to take the GMC letters out of the chrome trim surround to get better paint over everything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
pdv127 replied to MotoMedic's topic in Modifications & Accessories
Back to my question from a while ago. I have a 14 GMC all terrain SLE, but comes with the SLT head lights with the LED DRL lights. I installed 55W 5000k HIDs from the retrofit source in the headlights and every time they come on I hear a buzzing noise, but not the higher pitched zzzzzz sounding buzz you hear when the HIDs and ballasts are first firing up, but it a more deep buzz like a deep humming sound and it doesn't go away until I turn my lights off. When i look under the hood to listen for the sound, it seems like it is coming from one of the relays in the relay harness, but the lights work the way they should, except for the annoying humming noise. This has been going on for over a month now and i have tried but can't figure out how to fix it. I'm also getting terrible radio reception too. I know how to install HIDs and i have installed them on numerous vehicles and my past 2 person vehicles and haven't had a problem like this before, if anyone has any similar problems or has any help please let me know Here is my order from the retrofit source: HD Relay- 9012 Cap Link Morimoto AMP 5five DSP 9012 - 5K bulbs- 3,363 replies

HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
pdv127 replied to MotoMedic's topic in Modifications & Accessories
This is my set up. I have a 2014 Sierra, I don't know if the pins are different for the Silverados. Check out the thread that talks about them and make sure you connect your diode in the right direction Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 3,363 replies

HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
pdv127 replied to MotoMedic's topic in Modifications & Accessories
25watt 5000k hid from HID guy in the fog lights Installed 5000k 55w HIDs from the retrofit source in the stock headlight projectors. It's better than the stock halogen bulbs but still not quite the amount of light that I want. Having a whole windshield tinted 30% doesn't help either. The hid kit and the wire harness from the retrofit source is very good quality compared to the Chinese kits from VVME.com I used in my 2007 NNBS Sierra. I didn't have to cut or tap into any wires and all the adaptors/connectors all connected perfectly. I have had them installed for 3 days now and overall I am happy with the kit. The only problem Im having is when the HIDs are on and I'm in the truck there is a lot of static noise coming from the speakers even when the volume is off. The FM radio also has problems picking up stations and staying connected to that station. When I take it out of park and into drive the static noise try's to go away but not all the way. Anyone else having these problems? Also I did a little extra and the diode mod to make the fog lights come on automatically and to make the cargo lights come on when put in reverse. All these pictures were take from outside my truck Low beams only: Lows with fogs: Highs beams only: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- 3,363 replies

Damn dude I'm already taking Calculus 3, I'm sick of math and seeing numbers [emoji23] haha but thanks that helps out. I'm looking into getting another BlackBear tune like my old truck and will just correct the speedo then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm guessing he's talking about my truck. I have the white Sierra with 305/55s with +14 offset on a 2.5" rough country level. I barely rub at all, it's only at full lock in reverse that it rubs slightly on the sway bar, and it only does it sometimes. It still rides good too, the only thing with the 305s is they are a bit noisy and they are a gas guzzler but Ive been used to it. For my next set of tires I'll stay with the 305s instead of jumping down to the 295s if that helps yall any Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For everyone that has a level and bigger tires, what mpg are you getting on the highway? I assume most people on here are not too worried about their gas milage given that we are putting big off road tires on our trucks. I installed a 2.5'' level with 305/55R20 Nitto trail grapplers (33.39x12.60x20 from Nittos website) I also removed the bottom plastic air dam piece or whatever the correct term is, could that play a part in decreasing my fuel economy? Previously coming from driving a 2008 NNBS sierra with 6'' lift and 35'' tires and the small 4.8l engine with a Black Bear tune i was getting right at 15mpg cruising at 70 and that makes me think my new 2014 should be getting a little better mpg that what i am actually getting right now.

Yeah, 55w 5k HID kit. I'll keep those in my headlights until I have more time to replace the stock headlight projector and do a full projector retrofit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I installed 5k HIDs in the fog lights. It's a 25 watt HID kit so it won't melt the small fog light housing. Headlights should be coming soon. Sorry My camera isn't the best showing the actual color of the HIDs but here you go Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Here is two videos that will help anyone who needs it. I installed my Rough Country 2.5'' level myself. It had a spacer on top of the strut and one for the bottom. These videos are on the NNBS sierras and silverados but they are basically the same for the new 2014s. One guy explains his process but is using some other type of leveling kit that involves grinding his bolts which i didn't have to do. The other guy is using rough country's 2'' level on the bottom of the strut which seems the exact same that are being used for the 2014s. Good luck.

Yeah I'm jealous! haha but I don't want to keep bugging you, but is there any way you could post a couple pictures of how/where exactly its bolted in the door jam and some pictures of it going in the door with the door closed? There is not many people that have this setup on the 2014s yet and your the only one i have found that is on the forums talking about it so i thought id ask. Thanks -

Looks awesome man! How are those mounts in the door jamb holding up in the rain? I have been looking to buy those same mounts for my 54'' light bar on my 2014 sierra, but when I went to my dealer to order the mounts he said there has been problems with leaking in the 2014s. He said that the 2014s are made now with the rubber weather stripping stuff on the door instead of the weather stripping in the door jam like the 2007-2013s were made. He said this causes it to not have a good enough seal when the door is closed and so the water runs down into the door jam and causes leaks. Any one else know anything about this or how to fix it?
