theres having poor preforming headlights then there is having headlights blowing out all the time.

right now ide take less light and at least last for more than a few months.

my CTS i had for almost 10 years and changed the bulbs once...

Due to deer rut coming soon I changed all my lights to LEDs and added aux lights so I could see. All on my dime.

Any info on the bulb setup you used for the low/high beams?

I installed Starnill LEDs in the headlights and the fogs. Bought from Amazon.Used 9005 for the headlights and the 5202 headlight bulbs for the fogs. The fogs are very bright and scatter because of the reflector housing but I have the fogs with the highs beam mod. Added LEDs with a license plate mount from ACI with a remote operated relay and also use one of the garage door openers for backup if the remote battery goes dead. I can see now but hurts the fog and wind blown snow driving because of reflection. No deer hits yet because of lots of acorns this year.

i think im going to be just putting my HID kit in as soon as the weather warms up.

even the upgraded bulbs suck, then lets add in them costing something like $60 each and only lasting 10,000km

Seriously save yourself the trouble and get the Morimoto Elite HID kit. It's so nice finally having sufficient lighting. Super easy to install and very affordable ($170).

i have a HID kit but i really want the service bulletin reversed to have the truck using 12 volts first so im not pumping too much power to whatever aftermarket option i go with.

 

i think my harness is too short that came with my HID kit so ill need to get a new one. i really wish they wouldnt use the same beam as DRL's...it really just complicates everything...

 

 

i opened a complaint with GM Canada Customer service...its not going to go anywhere but lets see.

i am just starting to look at getting my fiancee a new vehicle, most likely next summer...so this may be the tipping point to get her a ram...or a new ram for me and she keeps the sierra...

how do they handle the DRL lower voltage?
