Apologies, but you are incorrect for anything 2017 related. SBL does not have data on 2017 Sierra or Silverado because I called them myself and they have nothing.

I would also like to know if anyone has this info on what the replacement LED bulbs are for a 2017 GMC Sierra SLT so I could change the following lights out myself.

Reverse lights

Plate lights

Cargo Lights

I just checked the link again, and you are correct, NOT for the 2017. My bad...

Time to upgrade the reading glasses, LOL.

Thanks for the link though, I ordered the bulbs that 98Sonoma posted though, they are arriving Tuesday it said.

I bought the Philips 194 for the plate and 921 for the cargo area and reverse lights. Huge difference. They look great!

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.

I was tired of buying these knock off brand rigid and hearing that all brands are the same. So i sucked it up and spend the money on Rigid and my god, there is a true difference in quality and craftsmanship. My rigid reverse lights are so bright that even when i back up during the day i see people covering there eyes.

Just installed DDM Tuning H11 LED Bulbs, 36W, Pair, White. Installation was very quickly and painless for the driver side lowbeam. Passenger side was a bit for difficult and took more time, i had to unscrew the 4 bolts for the air intake cap and was able to push that aside. I recommend to those who drive Chevys 1500s 2014+ to also purchase resistors for your kit. Because Chevy have daytime running lights, the resistor will trick the computer to thinking that you still have halogen bulbs.

with 16+ models, will i need can-bus bulbs? my 15 silverado i used regular LED in plate and cargo lights, with no issues. Curious if the 16 is the same since I've heard otherwise.

How is the output on the LED's? I have been looking at getting some Diode Dynamics H11 bulbs for low beams, but am not sure how they would do in reflector housings and how the cutoff would be. Dont want to blind everyone

The light output is amazing. I can drive around at night on a back road and dont have to turn on my high beams. I rarley have people flash there lights at me and those who do are typically old people. The light looks very clean in the housing and ive had them on for about 3 months so far and have not had one issue.

Awesome! do you mind posting some pictures of the output? or just sending them to me directly?

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 honestly say that they did improve my headlights. The reflective signs are noticeable now from a greater distance and in my opinion the whiter light is brighter. I live in a rural area and have no problems spotting critters on the side of the road and believe the whiter light helps in that respect also.

Just changed mine out today.... with the same ones no tyme suggested. Much whiter- pia one the pass side for to remove the dust covers and I have a k&n so it was easier but still a pain. Hope they last I've read they only last a few months

I have canbus 921's in all 3 sockets up there. 921's for reverse lights also.

 

Just FYI, I'm waiting on some 7443's for the brake lights. I'll post back here if they work.

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • 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.  
    • 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.
