I have a 2014 sierra with blue reverse lights and blue license plate LEDs just wondering if I could put blue LEDs for the brake lights and if it's legal to do or not

Yea I also got the blacked out tail lights so it probably wouldn't look any good

 

What about the led lights in the cab can they be changed to blue?

I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't seen anyone on here attempt to change them yet. You could be our beta tester!

Since they're LEDs, they might be soldered in, which could make it a pain in the ace to change. The cheap alternative is to color the tip of bulb with a blue marker. I did similar to my first car when I was a kid.. it actually worked pretty well, but if you try it have some alcohol pads close by to wipe it off in case you mess up! ha

Why would you want blue reverse lights? the idea of reverse lights is to see behind you when backing up! This and blacking out taillights are two of the dumbest mods to do. Might as well go for the stupid trifecta and smoke your headlights too!

They are gone now. Had them for almost two years and needed a change. Hopefully you can find a look that wont bore you in a year or 2

I done my Taillights myself using spray tint

Looks good man. And honestly, I didn't think that blue LED reverse lights sounded like a good idea at first, but after seeing the picture you posted they aren't too bad. Look pretty bright. And I agree that you should smoke or tint the 3rd brake light. But I would keep that as light as possible. Just to keep it the most visible but still match it to the tailights. And the blue license plate bulb are not illegal where you live? I know here in LA any blue light on the outside of the vehicle (not sure about the reverse lights though) is considered illegal becuase it's an emergency vehicle color. So cops in my area of LA love to pull over people with blue lights

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
