HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

This disease is called "domestic rice"

I never could understand why people feel the need to customize everything with stupid colored lights! What's wrong with the white ones in the front, red in the back and the orange blinky ones that indicate your intentions. I modified my lights for function not to impress the teenage ricer crowd

Domestic Rice....LOL. That's a good one.

 

But you have to admit, it'd be cool having those lights flashing to Christmas tunes.

Why did you feel the need to modify your truck at all? The factory lights functioned just fine? I never stated I was trying to impress anyone. Your modified lights, you added to your truck are made in China, aka "domestic rice" as you put it. As a matter of fact, your truck was built in Mexico, is that even considered domestic? I could go down the list of things about what I don't get and what I don't like. Example: Adding a SC to a 6.2L pickup truck, why? Gas mileage goes down, engine was not designed for boosted psi. The engine is not going to last as long as it would of if you would of left it stock, it also ruined the warranty. But guess what, there's a market for guys that want to ruin their warranties and engines by adding a stupid SC. Now I'm no genius, how stupid is it to allow someone to use your truck as a guinea pig and to add SC. We've all heard that the first of anything always has bugs and usually ends up getting recalled with improvements. The point of a forum is to help and encourage growth of GM Truck enthusiast. Bottom line, I could give two turds about your thoughts or opinions on what I do to my truck. What I care about are those people who want to share the progress of their trucks or ideas, but won't because people like you will just ridicule them. I teach/train my kids and my personnel/peers to set the example, by leading by example.

well for your information, I still have a 5 year 100k mile warranty that is transferrable to a new owner so I didn't give anything up there.

Also my highway MPG hasn't changed and if I was at all concerned about my city MPG I would not have done it. But fortunately for me I can afford the price of fuel! whatever the cost..

As for a boosted engine not being designed for it? hmm I guess the new C7 stingray Z06 isn't designed to have 650 hp either? LAME! whatever!

and clearly your not getting the genius award! Thanks for admitting that.. anyone who feels the need to put a bunch of stupid colored lights on their truck ain't the brightest bulb in the bunch (no pun intended)

I actually thought the whole process of being the FIRST to get a new and innovative product was kinda fun (except for the waiting part)

But the good news is, now your all butt hurt that my truck is WAY faster than yours! LMAO!

And your right this forum is for enthusiasts to share their opinions. you've heard the saying they are like ***holes everyone has one and they are all a little different and in my opinion putting colored lights on your truck is not only illegal in the eyes of the law but is only for the entertainment of others. it neither makes you see better, drive better, saves you money or gas and it serves no purpose other than to attract attention to yourself.

 

On the other hand an SC can significantly increase your towing ability especially when you live at 6,500 feet above seal level and towing a trailer. As a matter of fact my MPG actually improves when I am not towing anything up hills because my truck stays in 6th gear. A blower also reduces pumping losses and with the intercooler actually makes a more dense air charge. all of that = better MPG JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION!

 

and like you I really couldn't give 2 turds what you think about my truck, how I spend my money or how slow your truck is. your the one that has to live with it and the payment, not me..

 

but at least all your friends will think your the cat's meow with your disco lights that change color. Just make sure you don't run them while on the road, everyone else will be laughing at you and the cops will certainly pull you over. since you can't drive with them on while on the road, I guess you could park in the parking lot and entertain the teenagers, but they aren't usually into trucks. They drive smaller cars with big fart tip exhausts and a giant wing on the back and pretend to be fast.

Every friday night we have a whole parking lot of them by the local target store. it's a real sight! there you might fit in and find someone who does give 2 turds and thinks it serves some kind of purpose.

I drive my truck long distances in the dark on a desolate highway and my modified lights actually serve a very good function. if my lights are made in china so be it! as I see it your getting the same ones I got but I was smart enough to figure out how to do the install on my own in my own garage and with about 5 hours of my time.

obviously you felt the lights were inadequate or you wouldn't have spent 500 + dollars to do the modification also.

isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

 

Bass mechanic OUT! lol

I emailed hidguy.net and he said " The more color you have means less performance actually, so the 6k is probably your best net for looking clean and performing.

 

The heads and fogs will run $285 and that will be the 35w headlight kit with a relay harness for stable power, as well as the fog light kit in a 25w so it's safe inside the factory housings with the plug and play harnessing and required capacitors since we've had the last few new sierras require them. Shipping is extra but pretty cheap; within $15-$25 for ground.

 

Let us know and we will send you the links for those kits or can take an order over the phone."

Has anyone hids from this place on their 14 Sierra? Is it all just plug and play?

Thanks!

I know Echavez has his HID fog lights from HIDguy. I would ask him.

This is my first post, I got a question: I just installed my HID kit last night everything lit up like it should. I had a check engine light on since it was late i didnt have time to check what it was yet. This morning i got in the truck to go to work and noticed the radio was reset again as if the battery was disconnected then reconnected. The truck started fine and got me to work, i went to head out for lunch and it wouldnt start i had no power to anything. I read through quite a bit of this forum to make sure i got the correct equiptment i got the relay harness and capacitor. Is there anything that may have been wired incorrectly or that could be bad that could cause the battery to drain? Thanks ahead for the help

[block8head]

Did you disconnect the battery to install the HID?

[chromanowski]

Yea then reconnected when done and made sure all connections were tight.
