Looking to replace my license plate lights with these:

 

http://www.amazon.com/JDM-ASTAR-Extremely-Bright-Brightest/dp/B00JIEX722/ref=sr_1_1?m=A126Q4T86JLNL&s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1437014014&sr=1-1&refinements=p_4%3AJDM+ASTAR%2Cp_6%3AA126Q4T86JLNL

 

Anyone have experience with this seller or this product? I'm only concerned with it flashing or throwing an error code.

 

Thanks

Josh

Vled is where you go for a good quality light 51f1703a252b0c39128c34346eeb4032.jpg

Excellent, thanks. Do you think these would work well? No error codes, no fitment issues, and bright enough?

I got 7443 amber and red for the Denali (front/rear), error codes right away. only solution I know of is to add the load resistors

which I will NOT splice into the wiring harness. Maybe there will be a direct swap with 2016 Sierra, which suppose

to have both LED rear and headlights...

I have those on mine. They were actually better than the 194 VLEDS I bought.

Those will not work in the license plate lights, you want bulbs that have diodes all the way around on the sides. Below are the VLEDs you want for the license plate:

 

5K

6K

Or you can get the Astars on the other page. I have both bulbs-one set in my truck and the other in the wife's Honda. The Astar license plate bulbs were just as good if not better for half the price.

Thanks for the input. Are the Astars too bright? As in, do they throw weird shadows on the back of the truck because they're too bright for that spot? Also, did you experience any error codes when you put them in?

 

Thanks again

These work great. I bought my reverse, license, and cargo lights from this seller. Arrived within 2-3 days. Philips Extreme are great bulbs, throw ZERO errors

Hi guys, new to sight. Hoping you can help me out. I know nothing about mechanics, so in need of advice.

I have 2014 Sierra SLT, with the LED accent lights and Halogen protectors (I think). I really don't like the yellow/Amber tint of the headlights.

I understand the stock lights are size 9012LL. From my half ass research, it seems like that has more light output than the 9006. But it seems like a lot of people replace their stock lights with sylvania ultras or ZXEs.

If I switch to one of these bulbs, I will get the "white lights" i want but will they be lower powered lights or less light output?

And am I correct in thinking I can plug a 9006 bulb into my 9012 socket without any mods? Once you have to cut or trim anything, your already far beyond my skill set.

And any other lights you would recommend for me. Again just want white light without tint and no modifications.

Thank you

was changing out my cargo lamp (finally) upon removing the screws .. i dropped one of them ....

 

the odds of it falling smack in the middle between cab and bed have to small right ... and odds that it lands in that middle area that connects the cab and bed have to be even smaller ..

 

welp im out of a screw so my cargo lamp is snapped in and screwed in with one screw. Other than that the lights look good. My truck is now 80% (i would say) LED lighting. Just need high beams and fogs

Heres how the 194 Philips bulb looks

Is that an LED or standard bulb? Nevermind I found some!

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
