Xenon's installed in headlights in Chev 2500HD


Recommended Posts

I went the Xenon's instead of HID's. No drilling, just straight plugnplay

 

I have used the XD5's 5800k from Ebay before. They are brighter than OEM bulbs and less than 1/2 the cost of Silverstars. Noticeable improvement. Only $ 28 both sets shipped to my door. The H11 are 55W, and the 9005 are 65 W.

 

Installation is a bi#ch. The covers on the back of the headlight assys are twist and turn- There is a small tab on the bottom. clip this off and they go back in much better. You need to pull the air box on the pass side.

Did you have to install any Error Eliminator's or anything else for them to work with the DLR's and Auto Headlights?

They are just bulbs, xenons so you use all factory connectors. No need for error corectors etc. They are just like Sylvania Silvestars at 1/3 the price and in my opinion better. Stick with the 5800k- they are white.

Awesome, thanks, I'll keep them in mind

Do you have any pictures of your truck with the lights shining on a garage by chance? Would you still recommend these?

Hey guys- I will try and take a picture of lights shining.

 

The GMC uses the 9012 dual filament( I think) and you may have to use the Silverstars.

 

The reason I like the XD5 on ebay is they have vey little blue tinting and seem to be the brightest ALso they are 9 bux a set. I have the 55w H11 for lows and 65w 9005 for Highs for my Chevy.

 

Cheers

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
