I just put in the Sylvania Zevo 921's in my backup lights last night and also put in the 124's in my license plate connectors.......wow!  What a difference these bulbs make.

Just swap out the original bulbs to these, that's it?
Replacing the backup light bulbs is one of the best inexpensive things I've done to my truck. I found some on Amazon 1400 lumen and I cannot believe how bright they are and how effective they are for backing up to my trailer Etc.

Here is another added reverse light option.

These will get mounted inside the rear bumper steps at an angle. Few people have done it already, there is a post about it on this forum.
I have a shell on my truck so I find that bumper step worthless except for putting in a light on an angle and I cannot believe how bright the rear cornering light is when I'm plowing. Little things that make a huge difference. You can find a much cheaper LED spot or flood light on Amazon. About $20 a piece instead of the 120 for a set of those other ones you posted

These show fitting your 2015, but not my 2018 LTZ.  Anyone know what changed?

Do those bulbs fit in the center lights for shining on your bed? Can't find what size that is.

If you're referring to the ones that Kubs posted, yes, all the bulbs in the high mount brake and cargo light assembly are 921s.

I’m sure it’s in here somewhere, but I can’t find it. LED bulbs for plate/cargo and reverse, do I need can-bus bulbs? I get all my led lights from superbrightleds.com however they offer normal and canbus for my truck (15 Sierra Denali)

I used Sylvania Zevo's from Autozone.

Plug and play. No errors.

I've been researching this all day and my head is swimming with numbers.  I just took ownership of a 2018 LTZ with HID's and LED fogs that I am perfectly happy with.  I want to swap all the remaining external lights that I can with LED.

 

I was researching the Zevo's but I see a lot of people saying they aren't as bright as the incandescent bulbs for the brake/turn signals.  So, I'm throwing this out there.

 

What bulbs do I need to replace ALL the external turn/brake/park/cargo lights with LED and have them be bright and not need resistors.

 

That said, I've pretty much settled on the 921 Zevo's or the 921's someone posted on the previous page from amazon for the cargo/reverse lights.  I'm really looking for good LED bulbs for turn/park/brake, but I'm willing to let someone convince me otherwise on the reverse/cargo too.

Don’t know if this is the right thread but I am looking to get a black headlight with factory bulbs no leds or HIDs looking for suggestions

I have Zevos in my license plate lights and they are great.

I also have them in Cargo light and reverse backup lights and i like them.

They were in stock at either Autozone or Oreilly. Some ebay or other vendor led lights seem like they may be brighter or even too bright, but the Zevos are better than stock halogens IMO.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
