LED Fog Lights.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Finally got a chance to drive with them at night yesterday. It is a brighter light than the stock bulbs. But it is not as focused. I think they are better than the stock bulbs, but I wish I would have gone with a HID kit instead like I had in my old truck. I just sent KB an email to see if I can return them towards a HID kit.

 

Heres some pics I took..

 

Here is just the LED fogs.

Well, after talking with KBcarstuff thru email, they will not take back the led bulbs and apply the $ towards me spending even more $. I had them installed for only a couple days. Ran them at most 30 min. And they are not just for me.. I spent almost $400 thru kb this time around and they pretty Much slappped me and said to bad.Ill be doing a vendor review soon enough on that tho.. In this economy it dosent make sense to piss a good customer off over $50 when they were willing to spend an additional $100. Ill be getting a set of HIDs for the fogs tho. Definitely not thru kb. I do have another set from kb I bought for my old truck and took off. I might try and reuse. If not ill sell . Whole deal just left a bad taste.

I wouldn't bad mouth them as a vendor just because they won't take back your USED Led bulbs. What are they supposed to do with them? They can't resell them. Most electronic items like bulbs can't be returned once the package is opened.

for a customer who has spent $400+ with company can eat $50 to save a loyal customer, thats just bad business. the man could have spent another $400 there. $50 or $400. you tell me. not to mention the number of people like me that he could have pointed in that direction.

Exactly. This was not my first sale with them. I spent over $200 on my Phillips hid setup for my last truck thru them.

They could have easily taken these back, and resold as open package / tested. I literally used them for 30 min.

I guess the most annoying part is on the website they are marketed to be brightest possible led output, / even distribution. Yet when I emailed him, he said they will give less light than stock and are sold for color matching hids only.

Customer service goes a long way with me, I'm in it myself so I treat people how I want to be treated.

 

 

In the initial post I gave props for fast ship and communication. I give kuddos where they are due, and when a company screws up, I try and alert

other people.

So what kit are you running for you high beams and low beams? Are you running anything in your fogs? I know nothing about HID kits and would like that brighter clearer light.

    • My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.
    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
