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.

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • 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. 
    • 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.
