I didn't need anything when I changed the back up and third brake lights to LED.

Wanted to checkout how much I was drawing from the USB ports on the console and what the output was as well, as some times it doesn't feel like my phone is keeping up with the usage vs charging when using AA

This reading is from all 4 USB ports in my center console, about 5.05v and then drops to 4.8-4.9v when connected to phone.

This one is from a Quick Charge 2.0 USB Car Charger in the cigarette lighter, but... can't use that when using AA... :(

 

And then I also picked up some error free LED reverse lights: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262844619667 since for $3 more, I get and extra set compared to Amazon, $10 for 2...

Liked how they turned out, pictures don't do the lights justice, definitely can tell the difference.

In reverse, halogen, phone cam isn't that great, but it's not really this dark with the stock reverse lights.. :D

Left - Halogen, Right - LED

Nice and bright, picture doesn't show the true brightness.. lol

With LED.. again, my phone cam sucks, but you can tell the difference from the one I attached with halogen.

 

I'll probably get some better pictures, as my driveway slopes so lighting kinda drops... too lazy to back it out to the cul-de-sac :D

On my trailblazer I installed LED turn signals and break lights. I only needed resisters for the turn signals so it didn't hyper-flash, break lights were fine without resisters.

 

Are they different on these trucks that you need a resister for LED break lights? I haven't really paid attention to the Sierra taillights if break and signal are a single bulb, hence the resister.

Ya the 4 lights all use the turn signal so I tried to just use one resisters but it didn't work.

 

It's strange also I had my driver side all done for about 2 weeks fine, and when I went to do the other side it made the left side hyper flash not really sure why but when I finished the passenger side it all worked good.

How would I make the front turn signals LED on a 2017 Silverado?? I can't seem to find the wiring for the bulb like the tail lights harness

I've heard that resistors get hot to melt things and I'm really nervous to add these LEDs....

They get as hot as a light bulb so it's nothing crazy, there are two metal brackets behind the tai lights that are far enough back to put them behind with nothing for them to touch.

Washed my truck for the first time in over a month.9fe088a2b25d1e2388045b2900cbd59d.jpg

 

And my drive way when I was done73831cef401fcae3fcd44743d0814954.jpg

 

Wish I had a hose that didn't leak... they don't make hose like they use to.

Recently had her detailed at a local shop. Full paint correction and Opticoat ceramic sealer. Look at that reflection on the door!! Damn! Also dropped the Diablo Tune and added a Black Bear Tune. There is a noticeable difference.
