I searched other threads and could not find anyone who has installed a ghost projector or halogram. They are LED lights that shine a logo on the ground at night time. I have ordered a set that will be here tomorrow. Wanted to get opinions on where people prefer to mount them. Most common is under the doors to where they come on with the doors opening. I was thinking about installing under the rocker panels at the front doors and tying them into the courtesy lights under the side mirrors. That way they come on when you open the doors or unlock your doors with your key fob. Here is a picture of what the GMC logo looks like. For the money it seems like an awesome upgrade. Only $20 on ebay.

Bowen, I just ordered a 2014 Sierra today and this, among many other upgrades that I have been reading up on that you have commented on, is one of the things I would like to do. I was wondering how the lights came out? Are they worth it? Also do you have any pics of them on your truck?

Did you install these yet? Which wires did you splice into?

 

Trying to do that on mine and can't figure it out....

If you want these to come on whenever the dome light is on, then you would need to tap the dome circuit. Unfortunately, there is no dome light circuit in the door panel. If you have a DL3 mirror with puddle lamps, you can tap that circuit. If you have a DL3 mirror (with puddle lamps), you can do a diode mod in the BCM to have the puddle lamps follow the dome lamp circuit.

After listening to all the bad advice on YouTube and the Internet, and the lack of accurate advice, I stopped, looked at the big picture of what was in front of me, and found the solution.

 

With the Newer model GMC's, not sure but should be the same with the Chevy's, I saw the 2 wires (red and black) that run to the LED's for the door handle. Might only be an option for SLE and above, or equivalent for Chevy. Spliced the red to red, and the black to black, and it works great. Turns on when the doors open, and turns off when the doors close.

 

Thank you.

Didn't the newer mustangs come with this? A big mustang in the ground when you open the door? Cool idea and easy execution if you're tapping into the handle led

Anyone know the wiring schematic for the doors of a 2015 Sierra? I'm thinking why not connect to the exterior entrance light underneath the side view mirror.

Had these on my Titan. They snapped right in where the factory ones go. I've been thinking about mounting a set on the Silverado. Little more work involved on this one though.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By newdude · Posted

      Yea that's pretty normal to be off a few degrees.  Usually 2-4 degrees from say a weather app or thermometer.

      Where is the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor on a 2021 Chevy Suburban?

      By studly · Posted

      I just replaced the ambient air temperature sensor.  Easy as pie. I simply had to remove about 10-12 clips on the plastic cover over the radiator and remove two T-10 torx screws on the hood release lever to liberate the cover (Amazingly, none of the clips broke.  All came out and went back in with zero problems). Once the cover was removed, the temp sensor is easily accessible. The sensor cable snakes through a few guides and can be pulled out for even easier access to the sensor. I was able to work the sensor out of the mounting hole.  There is a red sliding catch on the plug that must be pulled back to disconnect the cable.  The plug was quite tight.  I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. I plugged in the new sensor ($6.45 from RockAuto), snapped it into the mounting hole and re-snaked the cable. I put the radiator cover back on and reattached the lever arm to the hood release.  All done!     I started up my Suburban.  The temperature read 82 °F. Other thermometers at my house read 80 °F.  Close enough.  It might be reading high as my vehicle was sitting in the sun.

      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.
