I doubt it... It'll probably need to be completely retrofitted.. What would be the best projector to slap in there?

Check theretrofitsource.com. they have a pretty good walk thru on what options would fit. Btw, this why i paid the extra $100 for the h11 replacement spec headlights

I knew h1 is basically a fog light bulb and would have poor performance

Yeah like I said, I did zero research before I pulled the trigger, but whatever. Now I have housings that I can mess around with without caring about them. I've gone through the entire hid thread so now I kinda have an idea of what I need. The only thing is, idk if I want to go with hid's... I'd rather just buy a Morimoto projector and slap some halogens in it.. Is that practical?

I mean sure it can be done, but its probably equivalent to putting hids in non-hid projectors. You certainly wont get the most out of them. If you are gonna do all the work and spend the $ on a retrofit, i would go with a set of good hids. You would only be one step away from having an incredible performance lighting system

Keep us posted on these. Ive been running into the same issue looking for Midnight edition ones that done take a H1 bulb.

So then they are specifically designed for hid's.. Makes sense. I just hate hid's as the attract unwanted attention.

I mean the hids that seem to attract attention to me are the ones people put in halogen reflector housings. If done properly, they will look like a upper end stock vehicle that came from the factory with them. The morimoto projectors offer a lens that is designed for hids and has a very sharp cutoff

You vczn find used OEM for about the same price. I've got eagle eyes tail lights and they are not OEM quality and fit if you are particular about every little gap like I am.

I have a 2014 chev with standard halogen reflectors. I tried hids in them but in order to see properly I was getting flashed all the time, removed hids. is a retrofitted projector better than standard, I do all country driving and looking for something that actually works instead of always driving with my high beams on

I've been running the replicas since March. And have been very happy with them. Here are a couple photos of figment with them. These take the standard H11 bulb size

I'm not 100% sure mine are made by a company called eagle eye I think. I bought them from 1aautos eBay store. One of mine had a condensation issue, Called the company and they sent me a brand new replacement light no questions asked.

are these the lights posted at the beginning of this threat

Well ups just came and brought ONE headlight. Needless to say im pretty pissed, as the ad is clearly supposed to be for 2. Waiting on a response from seller. A couple things so far tho. They Are indeed Eagle Eyes brand. And so for, from initial inspection the one i have looks damn good. Ill know more about fitment when the other side shows up. Also the projector, itself is easily removeable from the rear which will be nice when i do my fxr retrofit. No baking should be required.

Sorry to hear they only brought one. Reminds me of when I ordered my rims, so excited when I came home, only to find out company sent me the wrong ones, took two weeks to get the right ones.

      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
