The Retrofit Source 2014 Silverado Spec Kit

davidncurtis · February 25, 2016

Guys,

I received my kit yesterday in the mail and I'm gearing up to install this weekend. My first impression of the kit is that it's well built.

After watching some videos and reading on here I have some questions.

1. I was given some extra cords in the box as seen in the below picture. The cable at the bottom is the capacitor and will plug to my OEM cord (top) and I only need to do that for once correct?

What are the other cords for?

2. For the OEM plug in, the connector are not pre-made. I am given the material to make a plug using the black and red wire, the orange rubber caps and I would slide them into the plug but on the videos this seems to have already been done. Have others experience this?

Thank you for the help in advance. I'm super excited to get this on my truck but I want to make sure I get it right the first time. Any help or tips would be awesome.

You're missing pieces partner, Is that everything they sent you? Where is the relay and the other head light adapter? Do you have more parts or is that it? Snap a picture of everything you got and I'll walk you through the install. Being that you're doing a chevy and not a GMC I think you'll use most everything you got there. One question during the day time do the low beam head lights function as your day time running lights?

My headlight pigtails came pre assembled but I took them apart to fish them through the hole you have to drill in the dust cap so don't put them together until the holes are drilled and the wires are fished through.

Thanks for the info. I installed the kit today and it's incredible. The light output is so much better than the stock. I can finally see good at night.
