Has anyone installed Anzos in their 2014+ Silverados? How are you liking them? How do the headlights compare to the stock projectors?

I don't have a silverado but i have the anzo for my 2015 Sierra. The projector isnt bad, at least as good as the oem. but we have gotten a lot of rain lately and just the other day i noticed condensation in the headlight... it was just on the lower part of the lights though.

Projectors, as stated above, are at least as good as OEM, and have a decent cutoff, but the bulbs that come with are GARBAGE!
I picked up my first set with the chrome trim, but later decided to go all black.
I have seen a few complaints about condensation, but have not personally had any issues with either set.
Looks and fitment are good, but initial quality seems a bit cheaper than factory (obviously).

One bonus:
EASY TO MOD!

Those are pretty sick, how much work did all of that take?

Did that condensation go away or is it still there?

Ever thought about putting HIDs in it?

its kinda hard to tell during the day so im not real sure. i think its gone though. either way im not too worried about it. it wasnt in my projector, it was just along the bottom row of leds. as far as the work, i had a shop install them for me so i cant comment on that

As for the work - The whole process took me about a month and a half, majority of which was in the parts "gathering" and research/design/engineering process...

Plenty of tedious soldering, but HANDS ON WORK could be done in a weekend...

 

The bulbs that came in them, stayed in for 2 nights. THEY SUCK!

They were replaced by standard SilverStars, which were fine, right up until I put the 55% tint on the windshield...

Now visions of LED's HID's and ballasts are dancing around in my head...

 

Should have done it when I had them open!

So the bulbs you put in there were pretty good without a tint? I'm trying to decide if I want some HIDs or not

Do you currently have the oem projectors?

or just base model?

 

I had silverstars in my OEM projectors before I went for the anzos, and as far as light OUTPUT, with the silverstars, both housings were about the same.

 

Hope I'm not getting too confusing...

      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.
