I've been wanting to upgrade my headlights from the LT version to the LTZ/High Country version and I came across this parts store that has the exact headlights in aftermarket for a really good price. Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions on this company, or maybe they have purchased themselves a set?

I have these now with better projectors retrofitted in. They are made by Eagle Eyes and look really good. Only time will tell on the durability though. You can find these for like 375 a set in eBay though.

The projectors they come with actually aren't that bad with a quality hid kit in them but I'm a sucker for OEM his equipment.

How long have you had your headlights now? I was concerned about durability as well, but they do say the product is backed by a 10 year manufactures warranty.

I've only had them a couple months but that warranty won't cover them wearing down naturally. Ie oxidation of the lense etc

How was the quality of the product overall? Did it seem to be a really well built headlight assembly, or did some parts of it feel/seem cheap?

If they're using the same housing as the Anzo's (which they probably are), the quality should be just as good as stock, my Anzo's are very high quality.

The overall build quality seemed pretty good to me. Haven't seen the anzos in person but the mounting arms and stuff are sturdy and alignment is spot on

Buy them with confidence I love mine, I'm running DDM 5000k HIDs in them.

I actually just bought a set last week, and installed them this past weekend. I'd say the build quality is right up there with oem, fit and finish of everything was spot on, and install looks stock, no misalignment at all.

Do these just hook up right to the LT's? Any wiring involved?

No they were plug and play. Everything worked. Before you out the front end back together drive your truck around for a little to make sure all the bulbs that came with it work. Not far from my driveway one of the signal bulbs broke. So I had to replace with the set I already had from my stock lights.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
