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...

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Oil Consumption

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
