Fastws6ta: do u want the splitters back? I have no use for them. Can I still install this kit if I remove the lenses? I'm going to clear the headlights and have the black trim piece painted. Where can I get some switch backs for the turn signals and some demon eyes?

Anyone have pics of switchbacks installed?

You can keep them bud.

I have the XBLED switchback bulbs. Love them. Email me if you need more pics and info ([email protected] )

Is there anything special I have to do to them to keep from having super fast blinkers like most led turn signal bulbs?

 

Try resistor maybe???

 

Stupid question but, what I am supposed to do with the stock headlight connector when installing the Silverado spec kit?

uh no, not that one lol, plug that back in. Twist open the dust cap right behind the main headlight, you will see a 2 pin connector

Thanks, I figured it out after looking at the FastHeadlight install guide, long day lol. Now, next question, what about the two red wires coming off the morimoto projector? I'm assuming those aren't used for the silverado?

You could use them, but they are the bi-xenon shutters if your headlight is single bulb. Only really used in Sierras as they only have 1 bulb in each headlight, uncover the shutter with those 2 wires is for high beam.

 

You could wire them to your highbeam signal, essentially 4 highbeams all together! BUWAHAH!!

I don't know why you wouldn't run a highbeam splitter and run quad lighbeams tbh, the FX-R highbeam is awesome

If anyone's ordering anything from the retrofit source, customer service gave me these. I just ordered some new switchbacks.

just received my morimoto hid kit. Kit comes with 1 HD relay H11, 1 Capacitor Link, 2 35 w ballasts, 2 morimoto igniter (amp)?, and 2 6k bulbs. Alittle confused between the 1 capacitor and 2 ignitors?

Thanks to MotoMedi,and everyone that has contributed to this thread!

 

I've got a few follow-up questions if anyone has the time to answer:

 

I am looking to purchase my HID kit from DDMTuning, for a 2015 Silverado 2500HD W/T.

 

I have two primary questions, regarding the harness and caps. How do I determine whether I need a single or dual harness? And regarding the cap, DDM has two options: "BOW3" and 4700uF's, do I only need the caps and not the error eliminator?

 

My final question, would I have to get a separate balast if I wanted my hi-beams HID as well? The low is an H11 and the high is a 9005, if that makes a difference.

 

Thanks everyone, can't wait to get these in!

You only need 1 capacitor. It will go between the OEM power output (which is in your passenger side headlight) and the relay harness. The other side (driver side) headlight will be powered from the same source so no need for 2 capacitors. You have 2 igniters because each bulb needs an igniter.

I'm guess it was people on here that ordered my extended caps. Got two who did and would like to hear if they liked them.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
