I'd leave the headlights alone as far as colors... I've never been a fan of messing with the interior pieces of headlights.

 

Just doesn't look right especially when color matched... There's nothing to break up the color and give it some character. I like to see 3 dimensions, not a sheet of paper when you look at a vehicle.

 

It's all personal preference though. I like to leave things more factory looking with subtle changes.

And of course I need to give a teaser

That's an interesting look. I kinda like it.

Thanks. I am making it so that the DRLs and the Halos can be controlled seperate from the other. That way if I want I can run 2 different colors or all can be the same

That's pretty awesome!

 

What are you using to control the LEDs? Did you have to switch out the LEDs to do it?

Nope. The OEM LEDs are left untouched. I have a seperate Bluetooth controller to control all the accessory LEDs

Any more information on that Bluetooth controller? How does it work, how is it hooked up to the LEDs?

It's a PNP system/controller. Everything I am using is from LED concepts. I'm doing the second headlight right now. May call it quits for the night soon. Been a long day working on the first headlight. Second one is going by so much faster though

Thanks for the info, I'll look up some more details.

Can't call it quits... we need finished installed pics, videos, walk through, parts list... and... winning powerball numbers... [emoji23] [emoji23] looking great though [emoji106]

I can give you all but the numbers. If I had the winning powerball numbers then I can promise you that I wouldn't be doing this myself [emoji23] and Id have my lift,

 

Hell, if I had the winning numbers, I'd have a rainforest green Duramax!

Mike, so let me see if I got this figured out.

 

So you used a remote and some drivers for the LED strips and that controls the colors.

Touché.

I hit a 30-40 lb vulture at 70 today and had a small hope I smashed a headlight so I could upgrade [emoji23]. Not a scratch. Just a feather tucked in the grill by the headlight haha. Probably for the better.

 

Are the lights multi colored ?

Damn the bad luck [emoji23][emoji23] and yes all lights are multicolored. I never restrict myself to a single colored light when I have the option. I always enjoy changing the colors and it boosts the "wow" factor by 10

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
