2014 Sierra Lighting


Recommended Posts

Posted

Where can I get either good light blue to blue Bright LED fog lights or low power 25 watt HID kits ? Just got a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali want to upgrade the lighting. Also what HIDs can I use or the Headlights. I know the fog lights have been melting a lot wish GM had the fogs be able to withstand the heat of the 35 watt kits

 

Anyone also think I could fit 2 JL Audio W7 8AE under the back seats ??

 

Thanks pics up soon

I have a NIB set of 25 watt HIDs for the fogs I'm selling for about 33% off what they cost me last month. The color temperature is 5000 Kelvin, which should be close to the LED running lights and any other LED lights you install. I only know of one brand that has a 25 watt kit. Here's the link to my HID kit listing.

I for one wonder why so many here are seeking to change their OEM lighting. Cosmetic or actual functionality?

 

For me, the OEM lamps work sufficiently, are trouble-free and engineered to perform accordingly including the fog lamps, turn signals and convenience lighting. I can appreciate some of the interior add-ons to illuminate floorboards but am not keen in adding capacitors or relays that enable higher capacity bulb use particularly where such mods could (and in many cases seem to) cause electrical problems. A fellow driving enthusiast, I also take note and dislike when a vehicle behind me has aftermarket lighting the is blinding me (and other drivers) simply because the owner thinks its "cool" to have glaring and in most cases improperly aimed headlamps.

 

If I were to do it, I'd be stringent to look for US or Canadian manufactured products and stay away from cheaper import versions which I personally suspect are not correctly engineered and designed to work flawlessly. Just my opinion and I'm sure many others will agree to disagree with me.

Did you use the HIDs in your fog lights on your 14 sierra ? If so how was the lighting and they burn or melt your housing ?

Thanks

I did not install them nor have I lit them up. They're NIB. These 25w HID kits are the only HID kits I'm aware of that are guaranteed not to melt the housings.

    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
    • Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."    
    • Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.  
    • Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
