Check out my pics in the HID thread. My buddy and I ended up using 1/8th inch ABS plastic to extend the caps.

Thanks a ton man. I like your solution. I was really overthinking this.

hey coop, hate to hijack the thread, but can you post some more pics regarding your puddle lights? mine came in today so im going to be wiring them up.. I saw where you tied into the dome circuit, but that wire on my truck already has a factory tap splice in it and I don't see that on yours? also did you run the wire through the parking brake grommet?

No problemo.

As far as the dome circuit wire having a factory tap already, my guess is that it must be for some option that your truck has and mine doesnt. It should still be fine to use as these LEDs draw almost nothing. It is a fused circuit so if there is too much load, it will just pop a fuse so i say roll with that wire.

And i ran my wires into the cab on each side, then joined them together behind the driver kick panel, where from there i ran my wiring in a single strand up to the grey dome trigger, and grounded it with a small self tapping screw also behind the kick panel.

I ran the driver side wiring thru what looks to be the emergency brake cable grommet. (See pic 1)

I ran the passenger side thru a knock-out located in roughly the same location as the driver side (pic 2). Its plastic, and i just drilled a small hole to run thru and put a dab of silicone around it from inside

I felt id rather bring the passenger side inside on its own as opposed to running under the truck due to the trans and driveshaft headache it would require avoiding. Also, its very easy to run from passenger side over to drivers under the carpet, once u have the passenger door sill and kick panel removed.

Thanks man, I'll let you know how mine turns out. I'm doing 4 in the bed, 4 for the puddles, and 4 in the cab. I'll tap into the reverse lights for the beds though

I ordered another set that should be here tmrw, to install in the interior footwells and plan to tap into the same wire.

Make sure and post some pics!

Alright so I got the puddle lights installed last night.. I'm tedious with my wiring so it actually took quite a while to run all my wires. These lights are far more blue than I imagined... From the pics they look alright, but in person... They scream autozone. Maybe I got a different light than you?!

 

Anyways I continued tonight to put them in the cab, they are the same color, but actually look a lot better being an interior rather than exterior light.

Looks great from the pics! Mine have a hint of blue, but i wouldnt say mine "scream autozone".

Im actually doing my install tonite on my footwells (fronts only).

Did u have any issues with the rear dealing with the motorized seats?

I don't have electric seats.. but I didn't have issues routing them under there.

Well i just got my other set in today, and installed in my front footwells. They look great. Cant beat these lights for under $6 shipped. I will say, now that the interior ones are installed, i definitely can see a difference in color vs the puddle lights. The puddle lights DO appear to have a slight blue hUe in comparison. I think it may be because the carpet in and husky mats are black and the blue tint doesnt show up in the reflection on black. And also, it could be because the puddle lights are much higher off the ground that it shines on vs the distance the interior lights travel, or could be a combination of both. because looking at the lights themselves, while blinding, do appear to me to look the same. Idk. Just a theory. Either way im pretty happy

Where are these ^^^ bulbs being had for $6? I've missed something here in this thread. The install looks fantastic for the price!

Being that there are an ungodly amount of pages haha, can you post pics here? I'm thoroughly pleased with the performance of my stock halogen lights on my '14 LT. But I'm in love with the Winjet headlights and wonder if the FX-R swap on those would be as minor as these LT projector replicas

Eagle Eye knockoffs of the LTZ headlight have been discontinued.

 

Just a FYI.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
