Mike1220's 2014 Sierra

Mike1220 · October 8, 2014

Here's some more pics:

In the pics where everything is extremely dark, I turned the exposure/brightness way down before taking the picture. Basically like looking through extremely dark sunglasses.

Looks good. You going to swap the stock reverse bulb with anything?

I have not had the stock reverse bulbs in for a few months now. I changed those out not long after getting the truck. I used some 50W Cree LEDs from Ebay. I have a picture of them at the very beginning of this thread.

They don't look it in this picture but they are pure white. Match the dome lights and LED DRLs perfectly.

Excellent. Thanks for the pics. I'll have to bookmark those reverse LED's....

Off-Topic a bit... Did you swap the license plate lights out with anything?

Yes. Some cheap oh lights from Ebay. These:

Except I bought a pack of 10 instead of 20. I usually buy these in sets so I can sell them to friends or Incase if one goes out or what not

Edit:

I like these more than the expensive ones becuase these are pretty dim so they don't add abunch of light on the back of the truck. So it's just enough to get some on the license plate and not near enough to make 2 odd looking triangular shapes on the back of the truck when they are on.

Finally got the amp research boards on! Now just need to lift it so they can be more useful [emoji41]

Texas Husker · October 10, 2014

^^^ Great addition. They will help when lifted. So will the assist handle....

Well after 2.5 hours of working in the truck, I finally have my color changing floor lights for while I'm driving! Chances are they will almost always stay on red to match the dash lights, and I have a 30" behind the grille. Not completely finished with the light bar. Need to go pick up an strip of angled aluminum to mount to the radiator supports and then to the bar to hold it in proper placement. Right now it is holding with Zip ties for the night. Not going anywhere till it gets bolted on properly tomorrow

Here's a link to the bar!

LED tail lights! Will get some better pics when the sun goes down. And for anyone who says that these aren't much brighter than stock, they lied. These are much brighter IMO!

Mike, I really like those lights. I went on eBay but couldn't figure out which ones you bought (not really good with eBay searches). I came up with a list of about 25 lights, some smoke, but the red lens ones all look the same to me. Can you post a link to the ones you bought? Thanks in advance.

As I've said before, your truck keeps looking better and better!

Get on quick and purchase them! Seller says that he is down to his last set! They are great lights and really make the truck look a lot nicer. As I've said before, I'm still amazed that these didn't have LED lamps from the factory especially since abunch of vehicles (ESPECIALLY those with $50K price tags!!) come with LED tail lamps from the factory.

And thanks man! I'm trying! I'm making it stronger and "meaner" before I actually make it look bigger and meaner with a lift and all. I plan to get a tuner and possibly headers still before I lift.

Next few mods will be windshield tint, tuner, subs. About to call and make an appointment for the tint to go on this weekend. Subs will be soon after and tuner I should be ordering this weekend. Can't wait!

JimmyVal · October 27, 2014

Thanks Mike for the quick reply. I'll definitely look into the lights.

My next mod was going to be a tune. Was all set to go with a Diablew tune. Then I started reading about warranty issues and got cold feet. Have you considered a tuner and the possible warranty issues?

I have been putting off getting a tuner or getting the truck tuned because of possible warranty issues. Its a first year run and they are notorious for having issues so I don't want to lose the warranty, but then I read about the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, dealer CAN NOT deny service unless they can prove that the issue is caused by the aftermarket equipment. Now I have been lucky to find a cool dealer that is not against most aftermarket equipment and I don't think they are against tuners. But if something happens and they try to deny me service, I will call upon the Magnuson Moss.

Also, I am thinking of getting the Diablo for a HUGE reason, it records and saves your stock tune so if I do feel like the dealer will not like the tuner, I can redownload the stock tune and all the dealer will ever know is that the computer has been accessed, but what happened they will never be able to tell. Once the stock tune is reprogramed into the truck it looks like another dealer just had to mess with the computer.

Just made an appointment to get the windshield tinted! Gonna bring it in to local tint shop this Saturday at 10. $95 gets my windshield done and it will have 45% put on it.
