I know this might seem like a silly question seeing as how I've replaced lights all over my truck but is there a certain way to remove the cargo lights? I'm turning it counterclockwise but for the life of me I can't make it budge. I feel like I'm going to snap the connector.

Keep turning. It's a bitch!

So has any one compared the VLeds to Cree LEDs yet? I see the 50w Cree are about 35% cheaper but supposedly put out a ridiculous amount of light. I was thinking of getting the JDM brand Cree LEDs on amazon...

I have just purchased vled's Cargo and License plate lights, both are 6k I am wondering how do I remove the third brake light and how do I instal the cargo lights. I know that they are just replacing the bulb but I'm not sure how to get access to them. This is my first chevy and first truck. It's the 2014 chevy silverado. Please let me know and if you have any pictures that would be great.

 

Thank you very much!

I have purchased these and they work great! because they are very close to the base of the socket just like the halogen ones, the light distribution is perfect. They provide slightly brighter than stock with a blue-ish tint - looks sick unlocking the truck at night!

Reverse aren't difficult at all. But the cargos can be a real PITA.

Just got my 921 lights from vleds and all I can say is they are bright! I got the license plate lights and the cargo lights. If you have any questions about them let me know

I got some of the same ebay cargo replacements that a lot of guys are posting:

 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/360821459566?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

Installed one and made sure it worked and it looked great compared to stock. Then I installed the 2nd and put everything back in place. When I made the lights come on again, the first one was no longer bright but the 2nd one was. Pulled them back out again and switched them around, tried one at a time, etc. For some reason, the one bulb just doesn't have much output now. It very dimly lights up.

 

To me that doesn't sound like a blown fuse anywhere, since they'd both be completely out (I assume). I contacted the seller and he's going to refund me $5. It would probably cost more than that to ship it back to him for a replacement...oh, and I'd have to wait another month to get the replacement. I'll just buy more from someone in the states and try again.

You could try these! A bit more expensive but I haven't had a single issue with mine. Have had these almost as long as I have had the truck.

They are very bright!

Those are also located in China, so I didn't want to wait potentially another month like my first set. I went with 4 (cargo and reverse) of these for my 2nd try:

At least I'll have a replacement bulb on hand if I need one.

They say a month but I have ordered from them twice (3-5 days after I ordered my reverse lights I realized that I didn't order a second set for the cargos). Both sets came in after only 2 weeks. Much faster than the estimated shipping time.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
