What have you done to your K2 today?


Recommended Posts

First of all nice job. Secondly, does your pods come on only in reverse, or did you attach a switch so that you can turn them on individually? Could you provide a parts list that you used for mounting? Thanks

I just tapped the harness right above where the lights are mounted so that they only come on in reverse or when you hit the unlock button at night.

The harness where the light pods are being mounted or...? Can you tell I'm not to mechanically inclined. [emoji6]

Basically there are two harnesses, one for each tail light. I tapped in the passenger side right where it passes over where I mounted the light pod and on the drivers side I tapped in right where the harness leaves the rear distribution block, again, right over where the light is mounted.

so the additional lighting doesn't flood out the view of your camera on the screen when backing up? Also, do you have a website for the LEDs that you used, and I'd like to pick your brain as far as how you went about installing....Thanks

These are the exact lights that I purchased. You can find similar sets on ebay for a couple bucks less. I think I paid around $25 shipped.

Did your towing mirrors come with the LED turn signal like the stock's and does it have the blind spot bubble mirror in it?. Mine has the blind spot mirror 15 Denali CCSB 5.3L.. Thanks

They do have the turn signals, but no bubble. I didn't know any tow mirrors had that. The spotter mirror serves that function pretty well though.

.... Also, were those tow mirrors made specifically for your truck, or is it universal to Chevys and GMCs

They are the HD mirrors, definitely not 110% PNP on trucks that don't come with them. Cant speak for the 15+ HDs but I know the early HD 15's even needed some changes in wiring or new wires to be run. If you get some you'll need to change wire harness or go the much easier and cheaper route, and just hardwire the 2 new components (white reverse lights and amber running lights) yourself. I did the second route when I got mine, much easier for me and cheaper.

The mirrors are made for the K2 body style. So you could put those exact mirrors on your truck, mine, or anyone else with a 14+ 1500 or 15+ 2500.

The bubble mirror you speak of is only a bubble cause its on a non-tow mirror. Tow mirrors have a much bigger version on both sides of the truck.

Got my OEM built unbranded LMZ bulbs, works great and bright as f*** - no relay harness required confirmed!! and everything fits under the cap!

 

Played with the beam pattern a lot, this is the closest to stock I can get to with clean cutoff (I referenced the halogen bulb's offset)

 

Original Halogen bulb:

4500LM LED bulb:

I modified the direction of the wires to come out from the side and took off the back plate to add better air flow:

Yes, it does fit under the original dust cap, without the back plate removed, it runs hot, but you can still keep your fingers on the heatsink for 1-3 seconds before it gets a bit hot to touch, I think it is not that bad.

 

Running without any issues other than one light spot I cannot elimitate doesnt matter which direction I rotate them to. I can reproduce the pattern where it shows up 2 light spots with a curve up cutoff from motomedic or I get perfect cutoff with just 1 light spot.

 

No one has flashed me yet while running the 4500lm in my fogs too, I think it is actually brighter in my fogs..........

 

4500lm X 4 = 18000lm!!!!!! I dont think I need a light bar, I can see everything here in the boonies with zero street lights!

Why should I get the HC when I can get the whole interior for $700 bucks instead of $10K?

 

 

I know this silly question applied to everything else like : why not get the Ltz or Denali and so on etc... No punt intended!

I got my fully loaded Ltz with every options that the HC don't have .Except for the red interior for $10k less

I was just lucky to have found the whole interior from a brand new wrecked truck for just $700 bucks. ;) would you do it? lol

So the sticker on your loaded ltz was 45k?

Where did you get these? What do you mean "OEM built"? I'm not aware of any manufacture that ships this kind of lighting from the factory on a new vehicle?
