So the Morimoto Elite HID kits only come with one bulb? So it's setup for one light per 150ish?

No, they come with two bulbs and ballasts, but only use one of the stock headlight leads to signal the relays that turn them on.

So do i need anything other than the kit? I know the 1st page said stand alone Canbus but says the kit comes with it? Or do i need another?

 

What about a capacitor link, worth the buy?

The kit was not out when i got mine, so I'm not sure if the kit had it but you will need one on the stock connection of the 35 watt kit. The 50 watt kit doesn't need it.

Just checked it once in cart it list the quantity of everything. 2 9012 Canbus included. Thought about capacitor links but figured i'll just get them if i notice flickering.

Call them and talk to them. Last I heard, they were not recommending the canbus, just one capacitor link on the side you pick up the headlight signal for the relays.

I'll have to give them a call at 10am then. I placed an order for the Morimoto HID 9012 HID kit with 2x 9012 Can-bus, rather than the 9006 HD relay. Also didn't order any capacitors, i thought about getting two of them.

Check if that sides connection is flipped or something simple. Then try swapping the relays. Next swap sides with the bulbs and ballast, which ever is easier first. If the problem moves is the part you swapped that try. If it never moves then it is the ground or the harness.

Maybe relay went bad during install when that clicking was going on. Because they fired up fine and was no noise the later heard the clicking

You should have gotten the Sierra spec kit.........Get a capacitor link. Like $5.

If you got the 35w canbus, you don't need any capacitors, if it's anything like my silverado.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
