I have 50 watt from TRS with the FXR projector. I wouldn't run them before because they were yellow. I don't run them now as they blinding people, but I'd like to be able to use them in Fog.

 

I talked with VLEDs today and I can't put a relay to control one side of the light, so I will be making a color with a reflector to mount on the lights to keep the cut off low and usable. Got to many other things going to do it right away they way I want. I might use the lathe to make a quick set from bar stock and cut half to get started this weekend if I find some time. I want to get to a mill to make a sharper cutoff for the final.

I agree with your opinion of the light spread on your fogs. I'm looking for a traffic friendly, yet effective fog option and I think you're right on track. Could you take a pic of the bulb before you install it to show how you cover the one side? Also, on my gmc there is minimal room behind the bulb and most of these bright led deals have cooling fans on them so clearance is a concern of mine. Any issues with yours??

I have the trs projector and 50 watt hid kit sitting on my work bench but want to do the fogs at the same time... can't tell you how anxious I am to do what gm should have and get the lighting in this thing back on track.

Thanks in advance, good looking set up you have there.

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.

The problem with HID and LED bulbs in the stock fog housing is the bulb length. The stock 5202 bulb sits deep in the housing which is what give it the great bream spread and brightness. The HID/LED bulbs tend to be longer and sit further towards the lens which changes the beam pattern making it worse.

 

Until someone comes out with a similar bulb to the stock one there will not be much hope for the stock fog housings.

VLED LMZ bulbs are adjustable in depth. Give them a try. I have a set coming in for my headlights and Crf450r420 has them in the fogs of his Silverado already. Edited by Mike1220

Do you have an update on how these work?

I have not changed mine. But I do know that if you try to change a light that has to do with the blinker system, then you will get the hyper blink and then a message on the DIC saying that there is a left/right turn signal error. I'm surprised GM didn't put LEDs there stock. Many other manufactures are already switching to tail light LEDs, but since we are talking about trucks, I think it's just becuase trucks are not necessarily a family or DD vehicle, however it does seem that they are making their way to the category

Hey Mike,

 

I got a set of the Eagle Eye Lights and they have the boxes which I thought would have been some type of correction for the system, but I'm getting a normal blink for the first few seconds then a hyper blink and the message on the DIC with the signal error, so what type of load resistor are you referring to in the post?

Yours may be defective. Mine worked out of the box with no problems. Just FYI

I searched through this topic and others but couldn't find a definite answer. For the front turn signals / parking lamps on the Silverados, are the sockets standard or CK?

I think I've read all the comments on changing the stock bulbs for the rear brakes, side lights and front blinkers with LEDs.

I think the rear stop/turn are: 7444 or 7444LL

front turns: 7443 or 7443LL

licence plate: 194

These seem to be available from many sources, but I'm more concerned with the low voltage and getting the

hyper-blink. Is there an LED replacement bulbs that have built in "choke" to stop thjis hyper-blink or will I have

to figure out what to use and where to install this item to stop the hyper-flash?

Does the "LL" in the part number mean anything when using LED replacements? I can't find replacements with

LL suffix?

any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Ive went thru but don't think ive seen an answer to my question

 

 

I want to replace my stock halogen bulbs with LEDs, is this possible without any type of conversion/kit. Hoping its a simple plug and play, like changing to another halogen bulb.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

The LL is for "Long Life". Means nothing in the LED department, since all LEDs are long lasting.

 

As for the choke, VLEDs sells a flasher unit for $20, to replace your stock flasher in your fuse box, and stop all hyper blinking. This eliminates the need for load resistors.

Thanks Victor for the answers on LL & load resistors... quick follow up question, with the Denali w/ the brake controller option,

would the VLED's flasher unit be necessary? Just not sure with that package, the truck came with a H.D. flasher? Truck DID not

come with the trailer package.. just the brake controller???

thanks again

Billy, I really do not know. I would guess yes, seeing as the flasher unit is essentially an electromechanical circuit in your fuse box. It's basically a fuse, of sorts (but I may stand corrected as I'm not exactly the brightest when it comes to electrical stuff).

 

Cheers!

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
