I believe its amazon's fitment chart that Is wrong, they are not cross compatible, I'm sure they did send you H11 but that's not what you use.

I agree. Hope they have the right kit, I was looking forward to using these

The reviews on that one don't seem very appealing.

My thought exactly. Just seems more difficult to find this kind of setup for the Sierra bulbs.

 

There was a good review from a guy in his 2014 sierra though...

So has anyone figured out what bulb is needed for the sierra projector lights? I'm thinking about checking these LED bulbs out but want to make sure i choose the right one

Not as bright (link I posted above, site says 1200 lumens for stock, 2500 for LED, 3100 for HID) but longer lasting and better reliability.

I can live with 2500lm, I don't like seeing the HID ballasts. Plus I like how you can easily change the color of the led bulbs with the little cap that fits on top.

Contacted the folks on the website I posted, supposedly it is just plug and play setup but you need a CANBUS adapter to prevent flickering, which is just one more thing to plug in.

 

I asked about possible overheating, fitting issues, and any reported interference with DRLs in Sierras/Silverados, if not then I may try em.

I ordered the Opt7 kit for my Sierra off Amazon. Just got it today and found the base smaller than the OEM . The fitment chart said ok for my truck . Contacted Opt7 and am awaiting a reply. Unless I did something wrong I would hold off ordering from Amazon. I'll post the response when I get it. Not good at link stuff, the kit I ordered was the

Opt7 LED headlight bulbs w/arc-glass clear beam kit- H11(H8,H9)- 60w 7,000lm Crystal White 6k CREE

 

Is H11 the Correct size? I received mine today which is the 9006 and Im having issues plugging it into the harness. Either im not pressing down hard enough or I ordered the wrong size

Not sure but I think you may have to trim a 9006 to fit and I don't know how that would or would not affect warranty. The Sierra OEM bulbs are 9012LL , I thought that there would be something with the kit to adapt it to the Sierra and tried to correspond with Opt7 with no response to my issue.In the process of getting a refund with return shipping paid, which they denied.I'm no authority on headlights and listing on Amazon still shows that it's compatible for 2014-2015 Sierra headlights. I wanted these things to work so hopefully it's straightened out someday. If it doesn't fit, I wouldn't chance it and send it back. I've retrofitted plenty of things but their customer service leaves me wondering .Good luck

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
