I just sent my lights out to Fast Headlights LLC in New York for a complete HID retrofit with color changing Halos. Going for the Transformer look. I will post pics and let you guys know how they came out.

 

 

I am also considering sending mine to them. Where in NY are they located? How long did they say production would take including shipping to them, modifying, and sending back to you?

I think he's a one man band working out of his home or possibly his parent's home. The upside to that is that he has low overhead and he may have low prices. The downside may be that he may not be able absorb replacing your headlights in the event you're unhappy. Something I always consider when buying a service or product.

I had fun building quads for this silverado.

 

Quad h1 6.0s and color changing halos

 

These were done out of home for a customer. She could t have been happier with them. Just waiting in her to send me pics from her photoshoot with the truck/new mods so I may share with y'all!

I just ordered a set of projectors, bulbs, and bulb harness adapters. I should be able to get to this morning in the next couple weeks. Orange reflectors are staying as I'm doing a "rear entry" projector swap.

You should check to see if they are removable from the back. Would be a good piece of info for those who are looking to take it out but don't want to have to bake or cut the front off of a $700+ headlight assembly.

This is no way of removing them from the back. There is a silver/chrome plastic piece that is between the outer lens and black housing.

I actually want to keep the orange reflectors. They've come in handy many times finding my truck in the dark on hunting trips when I look around with a flashlight. You can see those reflectors from way off with a flashlight. I'm all for making aesthetic changes, but I weigh them against the functional value. This one looses out for me. Besides, it's required by DOT and my state to have them. Removing them may attract a cop to pull me over when I really don't want to be pulled over.

They are located in Aurora NY. They have 9 guys in front of me, so I had to wait to send them out, in order for them to be able to get them out to me within a week. I sent my lights in early because I will be on vacation, so I'm expecting it to take about three weeks. I told them to take their time because I want them done right.

OH GREAT! now my headlight mod is going to be called "the rear entry" method! LMAO I guess I should have saw that coming!

i saw an OBAMA sticker on the back of a car the other day, it was 2 stick figures who has assumed the appropriate position, one behind the other and the text said, "hold on he's not done yet!"

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      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?
