I’m trying to find a good set of 5000k (white color) headlight bulbs that I can replace the stock with that is no hassle. I don’t know about HID/LED/halogen. It is for a ‘14 Sierra SLE. 

 

I want to avoid the blue light.

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.

I have 2 brand-new sets of Morimoto Sierra HID kits 5k I bought for 2 of my trucks. We traded them in and now I'm stuck with them.. be happy to make you a deal on one.

So, looking for some help. I recently got on superbrightled's website and loaded up my cart with bulbs for my "new to me" rig. I ordered a HB4 led tower and just assumed that it was an easy replacement. Here is the link....

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/daytime-running-light-bulb/hb4-led-fog-lightdaytime-running-light-bulb-28-smd-led-tower/1277/2952/?year=2015&make=31&model=1489&scc_id=1392

 

Got behind the actual headlight assembly and cant really see where the hell this is supposed to go. Any guidance? All the links on this post on the first page are broken.

So apparently, I jumped the gun on replacing my reverse lights in my 14 1500 LT. I replaced with the these Zevo 921s ( https://www.sylvania-automotive.com/products/interior-and-exterior-bulbs/zevo-led/921_zevo.jsp )

 

Now when I reverse instead of weak yellow light from the halogens, I have these striated reflections of light and dark and can see even less! My mistake, I guess the shape of these projects directly outward instead of into the reflectors.

 

Is there anywhere else I can put them that they would be of better use? Cargo lights? License plates?

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.

Did you use Zevo 921's in the reverse lights? I put some in and they are throwing the light in a weird way, shadow lines from the lens or something...

I would not confess that the zevos are better than say other 921s you can get online based on some pics and reviews read within this site. Yes they do bring out the "lines" from the clear lens but then again i remember my halogens did also.

The same bulb works in the cargo lights.

I have the same set you linked to above.

Just upgraded the HID's in my 2016 Sierra. I installed the Morimoto D5S HID bulbs. They are so much brighter than the stock Philips bulbs.

I’m replacing all of my lights with led bulbs in my 2014 Silverado. How many resistors do I need to order? Since I have 8 lights that blink do I need 8 resistors so each bulb has one? Thanks

I thought I saw this somewhere but now I can't find it....

Is it possible for the license plate lights to be too bright?

They basically point right at the camera which makes me wonder if they can overwhelm it.

 

I am asking because when I back up at night it seems washed out, when I back up in the day it seems much better.

When I tap the breaks it also looks better which makes me wonder if a less powerful LED would be better, I want the clean white light just not as much of it ?

I just think the camera is garbage.  I have the stock license plate lights but have the Putco bar with reverse lights and it washes the camera out at night too.

I have a 2015 Chevy 1500. Has anyone had issues with the 9005 not fitting in the housing? I replaced my low beams with the Auxito Led brand and absolutely love them but went to install the hi beams and it does not fit in the housing? any suggestions? Yes it is a 9005 bulb

I came on here to research this exact same issue. My factory bulbs had a dab of paint on them, which shielded the camera from the glare. Been trying to find an economical solution for awhile myself.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
