Wow thanks very much for that large inclusive list!

 

I wish there was a list correlated in yours, as to which are the easiest and least expensive to swap out to LED, Halogen, HID (others technologies?). If anyone has already covered this elsewhere other than the aforementioned individual forums please let me know.

 

But before I start, is there a rule as to which lights are upgradeable to LED, Halogen, HID (any other technologies) without breaking any DOT or other laws?

My lights from day one where fine, compared to the projector style headlights. My main issue was the yellow looking color of the stock bulbs but after I changed to the Phillips Crystal Vision I can ho

Thanks again the Phillips 194 arrived yesteday and can confirm they work perfectly in a 2017 for plate lights. Eagerly awaiting the two sets of Phillips 921 and 1N4004 diodes to arrive.

There are no real blanket laws other than that lights on the front of the vehicle should only be white or amber/yellow, side should only be amber or red, and back of the vehicle should only be red or, if it is an emergency flasher or turn signal then it can be amber.

 

Those are my general rules for lights. Outside of that cops around here start to give you trouble as long as you do not have an excessive amount of light coming from the light source.

 

I would check your local laws for specifics about any lights you want to change. You can change pretty much any lights from halogen to LED as long as it still operates as it should, ie it doesn't have a hyper blink.

HID's in non-projector housing are illegal...dunno how it's enforced unless it's for not having all required OEM equipment in working order.

 

All auxiliary lighting (light bar) should be dimmed with high-beams to oncoming traffic.

Does anyone know if a modified 894 bulb (37.5W) would cause any issues if it was used to replace a 921 (18 W) reverse light?

For CA members, here's the vehicle code. Some flexibility, but no way a 100 watt LED bar is legal here for highway use.

 

From my read, none of the HID kits or aftermarket manufactured projectors are approved for CA use. You could make a case for using an OEM (real one) HID projector system off of another type of vehicle.

It might blow the fuse. The fuse should protect the wiring.

Anyone use these on a 14 Sierra? It says available in popular sizes such as 9006....

Thanks,

A standard 9006 produces 1000 lumens according to Daniel Stern's chart. The stock bulb in a 2014 Sierra is a 9012 and it produces 1870 lumens (87% increase over a 9006). A 9011 bulb (easily fit to a Sierra) produces 2350 lumens (135% more than a 9006). Why would you go down in light output?

Got to this thread, page 14. There's a complete explanation of how to fit a 9011. No mods to the truck. The bulb gets some clipping and shaving of the tabs and socket. 10 min job tops. A 9011 is 2350 lumens or about 25% more than the stock 9012 bulb. It's not a big change in light, but it's an improvement.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
