Has anyone taken the amber reflector out of their headlights on the Sierra? I really want to do it, but looks like it has high potential to screw things up.

Looks incredible though!

I dont really know why the amber reflectors bother people. Seems like a TON of work for such a subtle difference.

 

to each his own I guess.

if you really gonna do this mod, might as well replace the craptory projectors at the same time IMO..

Fair enough, was gonna do HID's as well.

And just think its a way cleaner look without the orange in there.

from what I can tell tho. you can swap the projectors without taking the lens off. just gotta find a projector that will mount to the same holes. Someone will figure out how to do it soon im sure.

I did it with mine without taking the lens off. not sure with the Sierra. Haven't seen anyone tackle this project yet..

the headlight that he modded would of looked a lot better if he was able to find a clear lense for it. the fact that he just took the lense off and now just has an exposed bulb to me looks like an incomplete headlight.

 

I wanna switch out my projector for the ones that block8head put in his Silverado but I had bought DDM HID's and they were working fine and then one morning I left the house and it was about 25* outside and freezing rain the HID's turned on and then about 5 min later would turn off. I cycled the light switch a couple of times and they still didn't turn back on so I was driving with no head lights. so after that I ripped those craps off and went back to the stock lights. and yes I read the thread on here I had the bulbs, ballast, relay, error eliminator, and wiring harness instialled and they still took a dump on me. I want lights that are dependable and aren't going to just stop working and then im screwed.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!! Why didn't that guy shoot (or post) a higher res video!!! Finally get a look at the wires running to LED strips, but it's not in great enough detail! :banghead:

 

Top LED looks like four wires (yellow, white, red, & green).. was hoping it's only be two.

Bottom looks like four to six (red, green, orange, blues...) ugh! I emailed them to see if they messed with the LEDs any. Hopefully so!

 

 

***If anyone on this forum decides to open up their lights, PLEASE message me first. I have 2 or 3 very simple close-up image requests! Thank you!***

I do like the part of the video showing how the grill and the top piece of the bumper are attached. We need more how-to's like that.

I did the orange reflector removale on my older gmc sierra 2002. Wasn't to bad.

 

Use a heat gun. Peel the silicone back on that side. Stick a small screwdriver in there and it pops right off. Did it to several trucks. Will be the same on these because I have looked at it.

I never use heat gun for my headlights.. i always bake them. Fast and easy without screwing anything up...

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
