The anzo headlights aren't too shabby either. I saw some spyder auto headlights on facebook. I like these ones. Bottom left hand corner. 10407929_10152835895710883_7395367147796

Just called both Anzo and Spyder about the headlights. Anzo said about 30 days out, and Spyder said February. I had anzo email me a few pics of the lights on the truck to get a better look.

I forgot to ask the chick at Spyder for pics. Will call back and hope to get some. I'm digging the Spider lights, but the Anzos arent to shabby.

Now those are neat. I'm not a huge shinny chrome fan but those are cool. Hope to see smoked ones!

Biggest question with all the aftermarket headlights for the Sierras, at least in my mind, is how will the LEDs work on them? ie will they activate only one strip as a DRL like the SLTs work or what will they do? Will the strips only come on at night with the headlights? Will the current DRLs (lower powered headlight) work the same in those or will the LEDs work as DRLs. This is what I'm curious of. I don't plan to get rid of my stock headlights as I like them much more, but, still curious to see how they will work on the non SLT trucks. Also how will all this play out as far as PNP set up.

For the guys with Sierras, if you are planning to get the LED taillights and want to sell your stock taillights, please let me know. I am looking for a spare set.

I'm going with Spyders lights all the way around. Gonna wait till they release in February.

What do the spyder lights look like?

i hope they come out with one for the sierra that isnt all chrome on the inside. makes it look weird.

also curious how the high/low will function. theres more that goes into the sierra headlight than just a projector.

Do you know what the reflector cup in the bottom right of the spyder headlight is for? Looks like they already have the DRLs and turn signals covered. Only other thing I can think of is that they seperated the high and low beams

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
