vled LMZ led headlights

Here you go, less than half the cost of the ones from VLED.

Are these plug and play? Sorry but I know absolutely nothing about electrical stuff. I just received my Vx3 bulbs in the mail today and am planning on putting them in tomorrow but the sound of resistors and cutting stuff worries me.

I'm curious how these compare, Still waiting for these down the road shots for comparison of throw and beam pattern...you've got windshield wiper fluid, right? Lol!

Funny you said that, but I'm all out right now. But I'll try and get some pics this weekend and post from inside the truck

Yes, these are plug and play. They also fit under the stock dust covers with no problem.

 

That's the exact reason why the VLED's are a rip off, not only do they charge you WAY to much but they are not even plug an play.

Okay thanks for the info. I think I may go this route and send me VLED ones back. Thanks!

Not a problem!

You need a capacitor to filter out the PWM, and use that clean signal to drive a relay and power the LEDs

Any way to put this in English? I bought the VX3s about a week ago before reading all of this info and I just installed them and thought I would give them a try but I'm having the same issue. When I turn the truck on they flash on then off.

PWM is pulsed power, it basically alternates between 12v and 0v really fast to keep filament bulbs running. Using a capacitor, it is a small battery essentially, it will quickly be charged when it is at 12v, provide a small current of 12v when PWM is back at 0v. This is only enough to operate the relay. And the relay is used as a switch to provide power to the aftermarket headlight you have.

I'm at the audio shop right now. What size capacitor do I need?

You need a 16v 4700uF, that is what I have used. It mounts in parallel to the original power source for the stock halogen bulb

Thanks man. I ended up just buying an hid kit instead. So I took the leds out and put in the hid kit. Looks great and is working great too.

Will a 9006 bulb fit in the sierra?

[nando87]

They should

Are these adjustable for depth and clock? If not, I'm not sure how they're going to give a decent beam pattern with the Sierra projectors. Do you have any pics of their cutoff?

VLED's 45 LMZ fits under the cap without modifying according to Mike1220 if I recall correctly. And they were plug and play with SLT+ because SLT does not use the main bulb for DRL where SLE and below uses 6V to power DRL. I am sure the 25W LMZ will work plug and play with the SLE as they use way less power.

VLED LMZ 45W bulbs do not fit under the OEM dust cap without modification. They stick out quite a bit. However, I have doubts about them not working with SLE headlights. My Silverado uses the low beams as DRL's, and the LMZs run just fine.
