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.

 

 

Did I miss something, are you talking about a set of Rigid Flush mount cubes, or does Rigid now make LED Brake/Reverse/Turn bulbs?

Got my interest up too! :drool:

Ok, cool! Thank you!!!!

I have a 2017 LTZ, let me know about the tail lights, will you need resistors?

Resistors are needed for the tail/brake, so far.

Sorry about the confusion, the rigid lights i have installed are just added reverse lights.

Anyone here have problems with installing LED bulbs for the rear turn signal/brake lights? I bought some bulbs on eBay and they work fine, nice and bright which is what I wanted, but after installing them and the resistors on all four, with the parking lights on, my brake lights don't work. Turn signals work fine with the parking lights on or off and as long as the parking lights are off, the brake lights work fine AND there's no hyper flash. I couldn't figure it out yesterday. Drove me nuts!! I ended up removing the resistors for now and they work just fine, everything is normal except now I have the hyper flash.

 

Any ideas?? :help:

For anyone who is interested in finding the old school incandescent nearly impossible to find 7444LL brake light bulb, the GM Parts number is 13591403. This can be found at most GM dealerships and various online vendors. I started a quest to find a 7444LL bulb at the local auto parts stores; NAPA, O'Reilly's, Auto Zone, locally owned stores, etc. to no avail. They all sold only the the 7443LL which is a less bright than the 7444LL.

Just swap out the original bulbs to these, that's it?

Yes, 2 torex screws and you have to pull kinda hard to pop the housing out. Swap the bulbs and enjoy. They are very bright.

 

I did put some dielectric grease on the bulb before inserting.

Can someone recommend some good long lasting LED bulbs for low beam and high beam? I was looking at these but im not crazy about the 7200k color. Also, i want

them to fit into stock housing with no mods needed! Thanks.

I just bought some of these off of eBay, made an offer for $15 (was asking $19.99).

Be sure to let us know what you think of them!

I just our bps lights in my 14 Silverado. They are not coming on right away. Even when manually selecting them. Almost like they need a capacitor to store up enough power. I have not had this issue with past led or hid setups. They come on a minute later. Also when I park they shut off. Any advice? I have read through a lot of their thread and don't see anything related to this.

    • Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.         
    • Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up. 
    • Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
