I have 50 watt from TRS with the FXR projector. I wouldn't run them before because they were yellow. I don't run them now as they blinding people, but I'd like to be able to use them in Fog.

 

I talked with VLEDs today and I can't put a relay to control one side of the light, so I will be making a color with a reflector to mount on the lights to keep the cut off low and usable. Got to many other things going to do it right away they way I want. I might use the lathe to make a quick set from bar stock and cut half to get started this weekend if I find some time. I want to get to a mill to make a sharper cutoff for the final.

I agree with your opinion of the light spread on your fogs. I'm looking for a traffic friendly, yet effective fog option and I think you're right on track. Could you take a pic of the bulb before you install it to show how you cover the one side? Also, on my gmc there is minimal room behind the bulb and most of these bright led deals have cooling fans on them so clearance is a concern of mine. Any issues with yours??

I have the trs projector and 50 watt hid kit sitting on my work bench but want to do the fogs at the same time... can't tell you how anxious I am to do what gm should have and get the lighting in this thing back on track.

Thanks in advance, good looking set up you have there.

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.

The problem with HID and LED bulbs in the stock fog housing is the bulb length. The stock 5202 bulb sits deep in the housing which is what give it the great bream spread and brightness. The HID/LED bulbs tend to be longer and sit further towards the lens which changes the beam pattern making it worse.

 

Until someone comes out with a similar bulb to the stock one there will not be much hope for the stock fog housings.

VLED LMZ bulbs are adjustable in depth. Give them a try. I have a set coming in for my headlights and Crf450r420 has them in the fogs of his Silverado already. Edited by Mike1220

Do you have an update on how these work?

I have not changed mine. But I do know that if you try to change a light that has to do with the blinker system, then you will get the hyper blink and then a message on the DIC saying that there is a left/right turn signal error. I'm surprised GM didn't put LEDs there stock. Many other manufactures are already switching to tail light LEDs, but since we are talking about trucks, I think it's just becuase trucks are not necessarily a family or DD vehicle, however it does seem that they are making their way to the category

Hey Mike,

 

I got a set of the Eagle Eye Lights and they have the boxes which I thought would have been some type of correction for the system, but I'm getting a normal blink for the first few seconds then a hyper blink and the message on the DIC with the signal error, so what type of load resistor are you referring to in the post?

Yours may be defective. Mine worked out of the box with no problems. Just FYI

I searched through this topic and others but couldn't find a definite answer. For the front turn signals / parking lamps on the Silverados, are the sockets standard or CK?

I think I've read all the comments on changing the stock bulbs for the rear brakes, side lights and front blinkers with LEDs.

I think the rear stop/turn are: 7444 or 7444LL

front turns: 7443 or 7443LL

licence plate: 194

These seem to be available from many sources, but I'm more concerned with the low voltage and getting the

hyper-blink. Is there an LED replacement bulbs that have built in "choke" to stop thjis hyper-blink or will I have

to figure out what to use and where to install this item to stop the hyper-flash?

Does the "LL" in the part number mean anything when using LED replacements? I can't find replacements with

LL suffix?

any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Ive went thru but don't think ive seen an answer to my question

 

 

I want to replace my stock halogen bulbs with LEDs, is this possible without any type of conversion/kit. Hoping its a simple plug and play, like changing to another halogen bulb.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

The LL is for "Long Life". Means nothing in the LED department, since all LEDs are long lasting.

 

As for the choke, VLEDs sells a flasher unit for $20, to replace your stock flasher in your fuse box, and stop all hyper blinking. This eliminates the need for load resistors.

Thanks Victor for the answers on LL & load resistors... quick follow up question, with the Denali w/ the brake controller option,

would the VLED's flasher unit be necessary? Just not sure with that package, the truck came with a H.D. flasher? Truck DID not

come with the trailer package.. just the brake controller???

thanks again

Billy, I really do not know. I would guess yes, seeing as the flasher unit is essentially an electromechanical circuit in your fuse box. It's basically a fuse, of sorts (but I may stand corrected as I'm not exactly the brightest when it comes to electrical stuff).

 

Cheers!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
