Well I'd like to to get new headlights bulbs. Getting tired of the output of these things. My plan was to get the gtr led lights but apparently they dont work with the drl's. So can someone point me in the right direction. I was also looking at the morimoto kit. Help would be appreciated.

People has reported the LMZ and the OPT7 LEDs work with DRL no issues. The LMZ will need to modify the dust cap as it is longer, but the output of the LMZ is better than the OPT7. LMZ also comes at a premium price.

 

if you are going for HID, make sure you know how relays, capacitors work and why it is needed for our truck with PWM

OPT7 seems to have pretty good success rate of all I have seen so far. Not the best output, but a safe bet of all.

 

Morimoto suppose to be the premium HID kit, but dangerdick has them failed a couple of times already and replaced under warranty. Such as fuse blown and also the ballast going out.

 

I have DDM kit, one side of the ballast went out within a few days, possibly because I didnt have a capacitor at the time and PWM killed it. After that was replaced and capacitor installed, they have been working for months now.

I have the DDM kit in mine and they have been flawless for almost a year.

Yeah, like cyclone said, they are ok once they are able to withstand the first couple of weeks, then they will be fine.

 

I personally seen the difference between DDM 55w vs morimoto 5five or whatever they called it. Morimoto is only ever so slightly brighter if you actually compared it side by side. Price does not justify the difference is what I am getting at.

Do you have a link to the ones you got? I see they have a few different kits.

Should be 9012 i think, mike1220 gave me his spare set, so I do not know what it is exactly. But 9006 will be able to fit easier if you trim the tabs to be like 9012 ones, but my other kit that was 9006 fits just fine.

I bought the BOW3 but with the 55w kit you don't need to install them. They will just blow up. The BOW3 error eliminator and the 4700uF Capacitors are basically the same thing except BOW3 are plug and play and the 4700uF Capacitors will need to be wired in place.

      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?

      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
