No flickering yet at least. I'll try and get a picture of the drivers side ballast tomorrow. It's a lot easier to get to. I don't know a whole lot about HID kits but the salesman said it was the Ferrari of the HID kit world so I just took his word for it.

Well, if you can find a link to these online somewhere I will be ordering them asap. That yellow just isnt cutting it for me.

I'm trying to find them online, but not having any luck. I posted a pic of the box a few posts back if you're able to somehow find them?? I bought them from a local store (Vision Pro).

I believe this might be it: http://www.hid-visionpro.com/#!/H8-H9-H11/p/1325695/category=12948012

 

I think I got the upgrade with the error cancellor built in because I paid $200 for everything, and I guess mine are 35w not 55w, guess I was mistaken, but regardless, I like them a lot. I just went to the store frustrated and asked what he recommended and left with the HID kit. Guess I didn't really ask a bunch of questions. But you could always call him if you have questions.

Anyone can snap a few pictures of the AMP power steps' controller?

 

I want to see how it is connected to the battery, how the wires comes out from the controller that goes to the motors etc.

 

I want to see if it is possible to mount it next to my secondary battery instead of next to the original one

No flickering? Any picture of the ballasts? I'd love to see who makes these. I am almost certain it is hylux or philips

Here's a pic of the drivers side ballast.

Went to the dealer today and had them order a new foglight housing since I was getting a TON of water in there. I couldn't believe how much water was accumulating in there. The dealer was great about it!

I don't think it would be able to run from the front of the truck. The wiring that goes to the passenger side is just barely long enough to get to the motor.

Thanks! I just dont like how AMP asks you to mount it on that bar, looks awful. I might try between the original battery to the side wall gap or the vertical bar that is bolted on to the bar that they instructed us to use.

 

The shop says it will arrive friday mpst likely, I miss my running boards already :(

Since I'm an idiot who posted in the wrong thread, I'll post it on the correct thread now. Today I installed LED backup lights and third brake light, from VLEDs, as well as OPT7 6000k LED High Beams. Anzo tails should be here tomorrow, so that's tomorrow's task.

Cleaned the truck and played with the bike

Beautiful bike! I wish my 2006 GSXR-600 was never stolen last April. Been wanting to get a new bike ever since.

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
