Anyone have any experience with these? They must be pretty new because I can only find 1 review, it's good but other than that no good or bad on the interwebs... This would be '14 Sierra w/out DRL's.

 

Spyder - let me know if the link doesn't work...

I know theres a few members with them installed. They look pretty sweet. The chevy ones I don't like personally. Look into the light bar threads as I think there are some there. I can't name names off the top of my head though.

They look better than stock SLE w/out DRL's and don't cost $1000.

I have them. They look great, but there isn't much of a light-output upgrade compared to stock. The bulbs that come with them are terrible. First I tried some PIAA xtreme white plus halogen bulbs, and they weren't much better. Then I went with some putco nite-lux LED bulbs and now I'm satisfied. The low is H7, and the high is H11.

Thanks Josh! They look awesome on your truck, maybe not quite as sweet as that bumper but I like'em. I threw HID's in my stock headlights, do you see any issue with bringing the HID's over to these headlights? Also what's with Hologen reflector light? What does that do?

I'm no expert in HID lighting, sorry. I'd ask the manufacturer; Spyder Auto. I don't think there'd be an issue, but I'd check with them to be certain.

 

These headlights have independent low and high beams, unlike the OEM Sierra lights. So I think the reflector you're referring to is the high beam.

 

Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask :)

I didn't pay retail so I'm uncertain how much they actually sell for. However, you do want to make sure that you get the right one.

 

5080523 is for the non-LED version Sierra (SLE, and base)

5080851 is for the LED version Sierra (Denali, SLT, and all terrain)

 

Just pick which number is for your truck and put it into google for pricing. Whatever the lowest price you find, copy the link and send it to AutoAnything on live chat; they'll beat the lowest advertised price every time. I do not work for them or any auto part retailer, just sharing my experience.

Hi, I find the Putco Nite-Lux to be great in these headlights. I was very unhappy with the PIAA's in these headlights.

 

As a side note, I had the xenondepot LED's in my OEM headlights and it was only marginally better than the Volsa's. Comparing them all side by side against the Putco LED's in these new headlights, the Putco's would be a clear winner. I have a nice clear view and a sharp cutoff that makes aiming very easy.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
