Hello all,

 

My name is Tim I am new here looking for some help!

 

I have a 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain 1500 and am looking for new lights that actually match the color of my LED lights and also looking for a tailgate brake light.

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello timmis1127,

 

Welcome to the forum! I understand that you are looking for lights for your vehicle. Are you looking for the part number or a website to purchase the lights? I would be happy to conduct some research to see if they are available and provide you with a part number. Could you private message me your VIN?

 

Thank you,

 

Jennifer T.

If by lights you mean your headlights, then I suggest switching to HIDs. Surprised these trucks didn't come stock with them. Especially the ones that have a 50K price tag. No point in putting projectors in a truck and leaving out HIDs. I put some in mine recently, 55W 5000K HIDs from DDMtuning.com will match the LED DRL strips on the top and bottom of your headlights. I'm extremely CDO (it's like OCD, but I keep all the letters in order as they should be!)

 

Here's a picture of mine!

Yes. They are 9006 bulb 55W ballast and color is 5000K from DDMtuning. If you want to see what others have done, check iut these two threads. One is for those who wish to use halogen bulbs or LED bulbs while the other is for those like me who like HIDs.

 

Halogen / LED:

HID:

http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?/topic/152762-HID-Headlight-Bulbs---HID-Projector-Retrofit

 

 

I will say one thing. If you get HIDs then here are a few pieces of Info you will find in the HID thread,

 

if you choose to go with a 35W ballast, you will need to order the 9006 bulb, 4500K color with 35W ballast, also you will need a wire harness and error code eliminators

 

If you go with the 55W ballast, like myself, then you will need to get the 9006 bulb, 55W, with 5000K color temp, along with wire harness. It is suggested that you also install error code eliminators, but when I tried to put them in, they short circuited and blew out some wierd liquid, didn't seem like water tho. And they also gave off that white smoke that electronics give off when they get fried.

 

In my opinion, If you go HID route, I would recommend the 55W like mine. It is worth the extra $10 so that you can have better sight and, in my OCD opinion, a perfect color match to the LED strips.

Yeah the 5000k from ddm work great

Are yours 35W or 55W? I have been told by others that the 35W 5000K don't match the LED strips

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
