Hey everyone! Looking to do aftermarket HID's/LED's in my 2015 Silverado LT. Was originally going to go buy LTZ headlights, and retrofit the FXR kit, but seems the cheapest to do that would have been 800 for the lights, and 400 for the kit.

 

Now I'm wondering what aftermarket brand has the best cutoff/build quality. Anyone with Anzo / LTZ replicas / Winjet / Recon etc willing to take a wall shot of the beam pattern/cutoff (mainly narrowed down to Anzo/Winjet). I realize they'll be sub-par compared to FXR retrofits (at half the price, I expect them to be), but want to see what's best in that 400-500 range.

 

Thanks!

I am in the same boat as you wanting to do an FXR retro, just not committed to hacking up my LT lights yet. And not looking to spend 1k to get LTZ lights and all the parts. I did a mori mini H1 in my RAM and was very impressed with cutoff and light output. In for some cutoff pics too!

Don't buy the Anzo's, very poor light output. Worse than halogens on stock headlights. I tried both LED lights, HID 35w and 55w, poor light output on Anzo's. They do look awesome though.

Did you run HIDs in the Anzo's??

Yes, HID 35w, 55w, LED, ran it all.

I'd just retrofit the LT headlights. Kind of pointless to spend the money on LTZ lights just to upgrade the projectors. I'm in the same boat now, but will do a retrofit before I waste money on the LTZ lights. I spoke to Charlie at TRS and he recommended the Morimoto mini H1 7.0's. Cheaper and have an awesome wide cutoff.

I'm running the Anzo lights.

They don't use the same bulbs as the OEMs.

The OEM is a 9005 and a H-11

The Anzo uses an H-3 high beam and a H-7 low beam.

I went with the Xtreme LED Low beam and Xtreme HID 8k high beam from Xenon Depot. I also replaced the Turn Signal lights with Putco Plasma LED.

I'm very happy with the light. The high beams will light up the earth!

The only down side is it takes about 10 seconds for the High Beams to warm up to full intensity.

I also swapped my stock LT headlights for the Anzo U bar healdights and I am very happy with them. They are a nice upgrade over the stock LT headlights. I can actually see when I am turning now! I am running the Morimoto Elite 4500k kit and love it. The cut off is nice for a cheap projector. I am planning on doing a mini stage 3 D2S 4.0 swap eventually for a better light pattern. The Anzo headlights are made by Eagle eyes and use the same projector as the LTZ replicas (which are discontinued). I will see if I can get some pics this week.

 

You can not do an FX-R retrofit on the winjets or Anzo's as the FX-R projector is to large to fit, but you can retrofit a Mini H1 7.0 in them & I hope a Mini stage 3 D2S 4.0! A member on here has done the retrofit on the winjets and they look killer!

Here is a quick video I did before I adjusted the headlights. It is not on a wall so no real projector cut off line. It shows the Morimoto hid kit , morimoto led switch backs and Opt7 led high beams in the Anzo u bar headlights.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
