got 4) 7443 red and 2) amber for the denali from Carid Lumen plasma LED at very high price $30.PER bulb! their website clearly states:

 

You may have heard horror stories from folks that have replaced factory halogen bulbs with LEDs only to find these new bulbs caused "bulb out" error messages, worked sporadically, or triggered check engine light. Because your fog lights are controlled by a specific module that is in series with other vehicle control computers, something as simple as an improperly designed bulb can break the loop of data communication telling your main engine controller all systems are go. Lumen bulbs are CAN Bus compatible, and have been designed with a higher level of advanced technology that allows proper data flow – so they'll work right every time with no error messages, and without confusing any computer controls. CARiD also offers Lumen replacement LED bulbs for daytime running lights, parking lights, backup lights, and turn signal bulbs."

 

Well, installed just right tail iight and flicked on the turn signal... hyper-flash and alert on dash the bulb was out... so their hype is BS. and these bulbs are just ordinary LED that causes issues with low voltage draw. Now I'm in contact with CarId to return them. I am also thinking about going to find a flasher EP29L which is suppose to correct the hyper flash and signal message... A) where is this thing located in the 2015 Denali and B) has anyone installed this EP29L and did it stop the problem? Different sites on line say this item is

not compatible with 2015 GMC Sierra.... WTF... something has to be available when switching to LED replacments ???? any help out there?

thanks

VLED sells a flasher unit for our trucks, goes for $20. IIRC, the flasher unit is located in the fuse box under the hood.

ok, popped the hood and found the fuses, but can't figure which is the one to remove to add the EP29L?

turned on the turn signal with engine off, and can hear the clicking sound, but touching each larger fuse

block, can not determine which one it is. And from the pictures on the internet of the EP29L, they all appear

to be much larger than any of the ones in the fuse block?

in reading the listing of fuses, I can't determine what the name is either???

thanks ahead for any help

Almost certain it is one of the 2 larger ones, or both. Flash signal see which one you can hear ticking or remove one see if it still can use flashers

 

Edit: nvm, i think those are for something else according to the bottom descriptions.

Which ones you got??

 

 

Can u post a link

 

Sorry I couldn't find it and then gave up on searching for it. Had time yesterday, someone asked for it as well in another thread, so I looked it up in my history.

 

http://m.ebay.com/it...Id=131516979821

 

 

Edit: just realized its not Samsung, as the other thread pointed out to me lol. My bad, but these are the exact bulbs I have in

Either way these look like their doing the job according to your pics. Probably due to their shorter size?? I think I'll order some.

Does anybody know off hand is the 7443 front turn signals on the Silverado are standard or CK base? I'm away from my truck right now or I'd check.

Anyone swapped out there brake light bulbs for led bulbs and if so what do our bulbs cross reference to so I can find a match because I used the sheet on page one and then checked local stores and this is what we have local b388bff35169bca0ff722b7626e9941c.jpg

 

But maybe I'll have to order online if i want to go that route

Looking to replace my license plate lights with these:

 

http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Extremely-Bright-Brightest/dp/B00JIEX722/ref=sr_1_1?m=A126Q4T86JLNL&s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1437014014&sr=1-1&refinements=p_4%3AJDM+ASTAR%2Cp_6%3AA126Q4T86JLNL

 

Anyone have experience with this seller or this product? I'm only concerned with it flashing or throwing an error code.

 

Thanks

Josh

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
