VLED LMZ Headlights

[jfeezie]

Has anybody tried these out yet? Their video claims to test them in the Morimoto projector housing. Wondering if they would be worth trying in a LTZ Silverado projector?!?

Jon A has tried them and has had success. However he has a Sierra Denali and not a Silverado. Not sure how much of a difference that will make. Also he had to 3D print a new dust cover (this is why I say I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make since I don't know how much space is behind the dust cover on the Silverados)

I have a Sierra as well and have a set of dust covers from him on the way and a set of the headlights on their way as well [emoji106]

Mine just came in today, will be installing them for the High beam and Fog Lights.

Why not low-beam?

Why not low-beam?

When I talked to vleds they said was still better off with the HID kit if I wanted to retain my DRL function.

I got a set of the VLED's LMZ 6k and installed them on my low beams, the DLR work with them ok, the only problem is the dust covers, everyone keeps saying dirt and moisture will get in the light but the main lense housing is separate than the rest and sealed when the bulb is put in so I'm not sure other than protecting the wires why they made it this way, I have read in another forum that someone sells extended covers but at about $100 each and don't know if this will even fit with these lights, but performance and looks these are very nice looking, I have a LT with regular light lense.

From the gasket on the bulb to where the bulb sits in is NOT a enclosed area. if you leave your caps off, you are going to have moisture problem, period.

 

This is proven, I, myself has holes on the caps for my HID wires, I didnt caulk it with silicon and moisture eventually got in. You better get a solution to your caps soon

Interesting, I too left my caps off since I put my HID's and have had no issues with moisture.

I have a set of the extended caps JonA was making. Didn't cover the holes on the back at first, went through touchless wash to knock some dirt off, front headlights had so much moisture in them I could barely see my projectors.

 

Put some desiccant packs in and sealed the holes with duct tape, moisture left. Removed packs, sealed the holes with something better than duct tape, no more moisture.

Great idea!

[griff450]

Well after closer inspection of the lights I did notice they do have holes where that center reflector post is so yea it's not sealed and living in Florida I'm sure I will have moisture issues at some point unless I find a way to seal it, debating on either modifying the oem caps or try the extended ones that are being made, they really didn't leave much space to work with and any mod I will have to fully remove the lenses to get the cap on, I really like how these look so I'm definitely going to find something to work but till them I'm switching back to keep it dry.

Couple other guys made extended dust covers from pvc.

Its been awhile so I'm checking back to see if anyone has found any mods to fit LED bulbs on a Silverado LT (not Projector), the issue has been the caps are to short and wont fit with the bulbs, I still only see one person selling 3d printed ones with no reviews for $100 a piece which is still out of my budget for some caps, just wondering if anyone has overcome this issue and has a way to make them work, I have gone and installed the HID bulbs for my low beams but still have my LED's and would like to use them in my high beams.

bump!!

[Skeeter McSkeet]

I've been getting random messages via text and email recently from onstar saying one or more headlights may have malfunctioned. They are still going just fine. Has anyone else received this and does anyone have any idea why I am? They've been installed well over a year, I just started randomly getting the messages about a month ago.
