  1. LED Headlights look good,however they are not a solution, they do not project enough light on High Beam and you still have problems with side to side lighting. GM needs to step up with a good solution Vosla is not a solution!
  2. Rest assured I have complained both to GM and Transport Canada, no response from the government to date! Vosla bulbs were a waste of time. I have installed a 36"LED light bar behind the grill that works just fine, but it was not inexpensive. I want GM to step up to the plate and do the right thing for their customers!

  3. NHTSA will NOT record or accept complaints from outside the US Complaints from other countries must be filed with the appropriate agency from the country of residence. It has been said that for every one complaint approximately 100 individuals do not complain. GM has a problem which they feel they have resolved to their satisfaction, and have ignored those of us who feel betrayed. My comment to GM was this will be the last GM produce I will purchase, their response was "we are sorry you are not satisfied with out product and regret that you will not be a future customer" in other words , we don't give a rats ass, we have your money that's all we are interested in!
  4. First I would log a complaint with GM and then with Government department in your country that is responsible for vehicle safety. Your choice of upgrades, basically almost anything helps I installed a 36"LED Light Bar behind the grill (not inexpensive) but does a great job, waiting for LED fog lights, First ones some twit stole off my doorstep after the post office delivered and left on my doorstep. Still waiting for Putco to replace the order. And I tried LED bulbs for the headlights, looked nice, but not much better for light. Good luck!
  5. IF Judge Q Hayes has any brains, he will request to drive the vehicle in question then if necessary direct the FED's change their requirements, Fat chance of that happening, GM may meet Federal guidelines, however it is their responsibility to insure their vehicle is safe in all ways. If the 2016 has improved design, the question is why?
  6. I had the same conversion done, same crappy lighting GM really needs to do something! Lighting is disgusting and unsafe!
  7. That would be fantastic, however GM is not interested in satisfied customers, much like most North American manufacturers, they only want your money for new vehicles besides the government agencies responsible for this have approved the current lights we have as having met their standards. So basically grin and bear it, we can only hope that those who have initiated a law suit are successful and force GM to reconsider the error of their ways!
  8. IMHO, the replacement bulbs from GM did nothing, I have tried LED Replacement bulbs, looked great, but as for performance at night a waste of time installing them. Best thing I have come up with so far is a LED light bar mounted behind the grill, not inexpensive, but works great.
  9. The headlights I can agree with, but as for dash lights, there is a dimmer switch that allows you to adjust the brightness and mirrors I have never ran into a problem with if adjusted properly, unless some twit rides my ass with his accessory driving light on.
  10. It is unfortunate that GM will not get off their high-horse and do something for the owners of their GMC on this subject especially when we fork out $45K or more for a vehicle that is supposed to be safe in all road conditions night and day. As I said before I have tried everything in the way of after market bulbs,except HID kits which according to my dealer do not function well. I have the GM update and IMHO wasn't worth the dealers time it took to install it. LED light bar mounted behind the grill was worth the money spent, but GM needs to address the problem.
  11. Same problem the GM dealer has encountered with installing HID kits here, now they refuse to waste their time. They had manufacturers reps from the various kits try to resolve the problem, but so far no success. I tried led lights, without success now I have a led light bar behind my grill and that works great, but I have to get the dealer to connect it to the dimmer switch.
  12. Knowing GM, probably a total different assembly, not compatible with our vehicles made earlier. I did ask my dealer and he is checking, But I will lay odds that if by a slim chance they do fit GM will want a small fortune to upgrade them for us.
  13. Can't explain that. I have absolutely no lighting to the side and high beams are too adjusted too high. IMHO GM engineers need to go back to school! Why would you design a system with little or no adjustment. They need to stop worrying about looks and get something that is practical and works. When I spoke with GM I suggested they send someone out to take a road trip with me at night to find out what real world night driving involves. Hopefully we encounter the odd moose, deer or bear!
  14. I notice you are operating a 2014 Sierra, Are they similar to the 2015?
  15. I will debate that with you, don't know what type of road you operate on, but here I find the lighting sucks big time, update or no update Dark when I go to work now and dark when I return, low beam for city driving is Ok, high beams are good only if you want to illuminate low flying birds, absolutely no side to side lighting, no adjustment for side to side either, no adjustment for High beam. Overall poorly designed.
  16. Have you price aux lighting recently? least expensive Led light bars run $300-$700 plus installation,GM dealer sells them anywhere from $2000 to $5500 Plus installation. The Vosla bulbs and ECU update really did nothing, low beam might have improved a minor amount, high beams no noticeable difference. As I mentioned before , I have tried LED bulbs from zenondepot great improvement on low beam, but a waste of money when you go high beam, basically didn't work, IMHO I think it is GM's design of the projector assembly itself. I did not want to go this route, but it looks as the only way to get adequate lighting is to install KC lights on a Bull Bar at a cost of approx. $1000. LED light bars are not legal for highway driving I am told, and I really can not see them giving good distance lighting. If anyone has experience with the light bars, I would appreciate hearing your opinion as to how they work.
  17. Well just received a call from GM.. Their attitude, live with it, they are not willing to correct the problem! Way to go GM, living up to your reputation "General Mistake"! Spend 45,000 and have to lay out at least another $5K to add additional lighting. Not impressed!
  18. Yes, only one way they fit tried testing them to see if they would fit any other way when I was removing them.
  19. I will have to check..LED lights I installed, good for city driving 30MPH, not worth a you know what for highway, I was actually scared to drive 60MPH with them, removing them tonight, not safe at all
  20. All I can suggest now is to become a royal pain in GM's ass until they get off it and get something done.
  21. Finally got my hands on some LED lights for my 2015 GMC from Xenon Depot ( great service by the way) installed them and tested them last night. Results were so so, much brighter, look much better, but no further distance especially high beam. Lighting pattern on low beam an improvement but IMHO probably not worth the effort, changing the bulb on the passenger side is a real pain. One thing it did prove was that the problem with the lights (again my opinion) is the design of the reflector. GM needs to seriously address this area and come up with a replacement headlight assembly that actually works. Replacement LED kit - 9012 LED kit http://www.xenondepot.com/9012-LED-headlight-kit-p/9012-led-hl.htm
  22. Still no product, Cancelled order, no willing to put up with LedheadlightsPRO.com BS. Shopper Approved Site means nothing, they only publish positive feed back and ignore the negative comments. I found another set of Led replacements, but now I can't find the site
  23. Same story he gave me when I finally contacted him.. Chat 24/7...NOT didn't work on Friday, Sunday afternoon finally answered Chat, He just started at 10 am pacific time no mention of who is supposed to look after Chat any other time, Apparently he just forwards Chat messages to their office and has no way of checking anything. Annoying Just sent them a letter by snail mail so will see what their response is if any
