Thanks block8head. I only dremel the left headlight and enlarged the mounting holes to the projector to align it, didn't do anything to the right side except enlarging the holes on the projector. I did opened both projectors and did minor adjustments to the cutoff because of bowing on both sides.

Since I learned to attach photos I figure you might enjoy some before pics of my installed before texting with block8head. The fxr tend to ride upwards to the right. Last photo is thru the windshield. All photos before and after are approx 30+-feet .

The silverados are fortunate to be able to install the frx projectors. It's trial n error and you gotta have patience. Now that is just for the projectors...with the ddm kits and morimoto kit, you gotta be persistent when problems arises..im a newbie with the hids but it comes down to the connection to battery, ground, connections to each other, ballasts touching the bulbs, and ecms. I done so much reading from other hid sites that r available. No matter how you look at it motomedic is right on the money. Gotta order 2 kits for ddm...morimotos has its own troubles. They r all made overseas at a discounted $

A little alcohol goes a long way...thanks to moto and block8head for contributing to this thread, without there guidance and assistance , everyone would have more complications with hid installations..not to mention projectors installs.

 

Block8head is the first to do the fxr projectors...u the MAN!

I am having problems with my hi beams HID's from coming on I installed the low and hi beams kits from DDM and I have gone through these 20 pages but seems no one is installing these. I have a 2014 Silverado 6.2 LTZ I have the relay harness, error correctors, blaster and 9005 blubs. My low beams work great after missing up on passenger side hooking the bulb up black to red blew out blaster on that side. I have tried swapping out relays and fuses and reattaching up hi beam with the red to other color and black to black. My lows stay on when I try to get the hi beams on I get the blue symbol on my dash but no hi beams.

I just installed the oem high beam bulbs and they don't come on also the fog lights don't come on even with the high beams off. I have the whole front grille off and about to install it back on low beams work. Where are the fuses or relay for the high beams this is my first truck always a car guy.

it's been 6 months since installing the 55w ddm kit. 80amp relay that came with ddm kit had to be replaced twice. I replaced it with a 40amp relay better quality and no problems since. I also had the right headlight blinking rapidly so I replaced the canceller on the right side and it also happened on the left side a short while later so I also replaced the left side. both left and right side cancellers were replaced with after market from ebay and not ddm.

Exactly why I'm not "sold" on these kits...too amateur-ish right now.

Just spend the $ and get a Morimoto kit. Sometimes, you really do get what you pay for.

Aside from the capacitor issues mine have been great. I ordered 2 kits but that's because I'm planning on retrofitting the fog lights. Still waiting to do that soon. Waiting till it goes to the shop to get the oil changed and oil life remaining computer module changed out. I don't feel like hearing them say that it's broken becuase of the fogs being different. So as soon as I have time to do that I'll change the fogs

I bitched it on my customer satisfaction survey from GMC.

Important!

 

My headlights will not turn on right now. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already checked all connections. I unplugged and replugged everything. Changed out the relay. Tried manually turning on the headlights. Nothing happened. I just disconnected the battery and hoping that helps. Just wanted to take the time to post while I am waiting a few minutes before reattaching battery.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
