ill be doing all 6 lights with HIDS eventually but i dont want HIDS in my fogs during the winter so ill need something to swap in and out for winter

I got them for all 6. Just haven't installed the fogs yet. Make sure to readjust.

I had to adjust it the day after I put them in

I turned mine down. The first adjustment would blind people who weren't driving a truck. So I had to adjust again. I will occasionally blind someone while towing

i dont care if i do i drove a buick for 5 years and dealt with it, its payback now.. i had a guy at work pissed at me because i had my offroad lights on on my way home from work (backroads) i said if you dont like it dont drive slow in front of me.. he was mad because i passed him

Not readjusting your headlights is a douche move. Something a 15year old high school kid would do.

Why? My comment is directed at anyone who does not readjust their headlights. Blinding people on purpose is just being an arsehole.

 

Oh wait, I forgot it was the cool thing to do to purposely endanger the lives of others...

My old neighbor does it with his ghost trailer towing cummins. I have done it because I had to go out of town and didn't have time. No comment on something I have done

My truck is at stock height and occasionally the glare from headlights behind me gets bothersome. If I'm not planning on passing (and don't have the cab full, hindering my ability to look over my shoulders) I just fold the mirrors in. No big deal, and definitely not worth me trying to retaliate.

 

The Silverstars (and Silverstar Ultras) are decent bulbs. I switched to the Ultras a few years back after driving home in South Louisiana in a heavy rain. Five-foot deep ditches were flooded and the standard bulbs just didn't illuminate enough for me to see well. I made it home, but had to drive in the middle of the road to be safe for a mile or two.

 

I use Xtravision bulbs now, after tiring of replacing the Silverstars every 8-12 months. I found them for around $5 each at Lowes (compared to a minimum of $15 per 2-pack at most auto stores) and picked up enough low and high beam bulbs to last for my truck's lifetime and then some. Thought they were on clearance, then saw them restocked a year later for the same price.

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
