alright i apoligize if theres theres an answer on the forum about this already but i ordered a motimoto sierra spec hid kit for my 2015 sierra sle , i purchased it from vled and the sales person told me i wouldnt have any problem installing the kit and using the drl , ive seen some stuff where people have said they work fine that way and ive seen some threads where people said the installed the kit and they just turn the lights on full power everytime they get in the truck (not something I want to do ) Ive also seen the gen5diy harness to move the drl to the fog lights but that's an extra 170 bucks on top of the $170 I spent on the hid kit , so once and for all can someone confirm or deny if you can use the morimoto sierra spec kit with normal drl function without additional modifications ?

i havent received it yet its in transit , but from the conversation i had with the saleman from vled.com , he said it came with the relay harness and he explained how the capacitor worked , I'm assuming the other threads I saw about the hid kits and drl problems were not morimoto kits ? sorry I'm new to this stuff just want to make sure I've got everything I need before starting install

I also had the spec. kit for my Sierra and could not get it to work. Reinstalled 4 times and never could get the lights to turn on, even sent it back so they could test the kit and they said everything was good, tried a 5th time and still would not work. Customer Support was always saying something is wrong with your truck even when the OEM lights would work before and after the install.

The relay kit should result in that the system will use the HID for both DRL and night time. As long as there is a signal from the factory harness to the relay, the relay will tell the Morimoto kit to light up.

Most people have the exact same problem as you when they hook up the capacitor after the relay. You must go headlight connector to capacitor to relay then to ballast.

 

Cut off the connectors and solder all the connections for guarantee connection

Thanks for the heads up. I solved the problem last week. 2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ LED'S headlights, taillights, fog lights

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      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.
