Cant wait to order my LTZ replacements and throw some real projectors in there. Still debating on the color scheme for the truck. I minimalistically have hues of red going around (Z71 badges, clearance lights, FD sticker,). What do yall think?

I had bought the TRS 2014 Sierra Bi-Xenon FX-R Stage III Kit a while back but never installed. Instead choose to go LED recently and really like it.

If anyone is interested in this kit (never opened), let me know.

Kit has 9006 HD Relay; Capacitor Link; FX-R 3.0 (2.5" Lens/LHD) D2S Morimoto 3Five DSP; 35W D2S 3Five 5,000K lights; & white 80mm LED Rings.

Hey guys I accidentally ordered

H7 12000K 55W HID Xenon Replacement Light Bulbs

Qty 4 of them. Looking to give them to someone who wants them. All i ask is $15 Paypal to ship them. LMK if anyone wants them. I meant to order 6000k. My bad. If they're still here a month from now I'm tossing them out. Thanks

C'mon TRS. Hoping to have a box delivered from you guys in the next few days. I have received the adapters from fastheadlights. Looking forward to new projectors and hids for the truck

Goodluck on the wait. Hopefully the product your purchased isnt on backorder. Alot of them are. I know its not there fault but i waited almost a whole month to recieve my last order.

Just installed a Morimoto HID kit from TRS. 35w 6500k. This is the 2nd kit from them I have installed. It was a breeze. But I'm having an issue/have a question about color of output. I got the 6500k Kit..after warming up there's like zero blue to it, pretty yellow of you ask me. Could this be a grounding issue?

I have a 15 Sierra 2500 SLE. Purchased a set of HID's from opt7. Worked great for a couple days. Now I'm having a problem when the truck is cold. I turn it on and only the passenger side wants to turn on. I turn the lights off with the knob and then back on again 5 or 6 times and then they will usually both work. I tried contacting OPT7 and they were at a loss. They sent me 2 new ballast still the same problem. I tried it with the canbus thing and without. Still the same problem. Currently I'm running the relay to the ballast to the bulb. This is their 35w slim line ballast system. I tried moving the ground wire to a different spot and that didn't work either. The problem happens both with DRL's and/or when the low beam comes on at night. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Received everything from trs today. Managed to remove the headlights and get the new projectors installed. Will work on the hid install over the next few days. One question though. The new projectors have two wires that trigger the flap for high beams. Do I just tap in to the existing high beams with those wires?

I feel so stupid. I bought the Sierra spec kit and added on the 200$ LED fogs and just got everything but after researching my HID bulbs are 6500k

 

And the fogs are 55000k

 

Why was this not in the information when I bought this kit? I assumed that if I order 6500k HID they would give me 6500k (color) fogs.

 

Now it won't match. -_-

 

Should I call retrofit source about this and tell them they need this infomation on the ordering page?

If you haven't opened the bulbs yet, you might could call and explain and see if they'd be willing to exchange the headlights. Their customer service is top notch.

 

This is why I always double check everything before ordering because it clearly says on the page for the fogs that they're 5500K (and doesn't give an option for anything different). Good luck!

Just spoke to the customer service and he said the fogs are a closer match to the 6500k in his opinion. So I'm going to try them out and if they aren't what I'm looking for I told him I'll be back in contact.

 

Also to the guy above talking about his 6500k being yellow. The rep said its not the ground, the bulbs need to be ran for 48 hours and they should work into they blue color.

I had my truck in for some service at the dealership and they gave me a 2016 model for a loaner. All I can say is "DAMN" do the stock headlights on the 2014/2015 suck in comparison ! The new headlights are awesome as far as clarity in front of you, but still lacking in "side lighting".

I have a set of 35W Morimoto HID's on order, does anyone know how they compare to the stock 2016 headlights ?

Posted

Sorry everyone, I am a little late to the party on this subject. I've got a 2015 Sierra 4x4 7z1 and like everyone else the headlights are lacking.

Is there anyway to just change the bulb, plug and play, that would increase the light? Also, might the Denali OEM headlights work as a replacement?

 

Sorry, just looking for a simple solution, nothing complicated.

You can jbtaylor replace it with putco nite lux led which is what I did and combine it with putco fogs.

 

It was okay but I have to say... The LED xb lights are amazing!!! Totally worth getting them in the Sierra spec kit. I love them! Good color and they match 6500k well. But I am having to send back the 9012 bulbs for H7 because I have anzo lights. Will post pics when everything is done.

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
