Well the specs say 9v minimum operating voltage. They draw about 3.45 amps @ 12v. They have a constant current driver at 11-30v. I get all the numbers, minus the constant current driver. May give them a call and see if lifespan or any other problems can arise before diving in for the update. Need to see what the new voltage being sent to them is after the update I suppose.

Sorry guys I'm a little confused but these are what will fit in my SLT Sierra?

Since the Sierra has 9012 in them and these are 9006 somebody said they will need a tab trimmed? Thanks

Yes, the Lmz 45w 4500lm bulbs (the ones that are listed at $250) are what you want with the 9006 collar.

 

No trimming is required they are a direct fit.

Trimming is required for those people who are trying to put a 9005 halogen in the headlight. A 9006 will fit just fine into a 9012 socket [emoji106]

My DDM HIDS took a crap and I'm supposed to move across the country next weekend. I have retrofitted extended caps myself by epoxying a 1" pvc end cap to the lowbeam headlight cap. I want to replace the Hids with the LMZ but am concerned about how big the rear cooling fan is? Anyone have a measurement? I have eagle eye Oem style projector headlights. I would really appreciate a quick answer so I can order them ASAP.

Looks like you have a Silverado. I don't think the LMZ will work with the DRLs on the Silverado.

I don't see why they won't work. Would just have to add a wire harness just like those who have HIDs in an SLE or in the Sierra. That way the bulbs will always recieve full power.

Very interested to see this work in a Silverado.

I'd hate to make a $250 purchase and them not work. How much room behind the bulb is necessary for the cooling fan?

The cooling fins are 1.5" long.

When the collar is screwed all the way onto the stalk, it is just a tad bit over 1.5". Around 1/10" longer.

When the collar is screwed all the way off, or actually when it's on but only by 1 turn, they are just under 1&7/8th inches. All these measurements are from the end of the collar to the end of the fins.

EDIT:

 

PS for everyone who is wondering how these are in an FXRS projector, I'm playing around with it right now [emoji16] also, it's a bit aggravating at first to get the bulbs into the projector just cause you have to pull the mounts from the FXRS outward to th sides and you'll think you are going to break something.

Results my friends:

 

The FXRs have a MUCH cleaner and sharper cut off line (as we all know since it is a real projector unlike this thing GM put in our trucks) and it also dispersed the light very very well. It gave better side light, better light infront.

 

DOWNSIDE, there's a small shadow right infront of the truck, middle of the projectors beam. But it's not bad IMO

 

First picture is an OEM projector and all following pictures are the FXR. It was a bit aggravating since I didn't have much play room with the wires so I had to take pics with my left hand (non dominant hand so it was a bit awkward)

I didn't get one with the HIDs in. I'll take one when I get a chance. May be 2 weeks though at the least before I can get one

Corwest, you have FXRs right? Do you have that small shadow being produced by the HIDs like the LMZs are making?

Hey Mike,

 

Are those the 45w LEDS with the fans that you are using, or the new fanless vx3 LED?

 

Thanks,

Matt

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
