So does this conversion work or does it work with issues? Was thinking of doing this mod but for nearly 2 grand when it's all said and done they would need to work like factory for me to make the plunge.

It's my understanding that everything works. The only "issue" is that the DRL don't turn off when you activate the turn signals the way they do on the 2016's. Basically the white DRL and the amber turn signal are on at the same time.

Sorry I'm a little late, I've been in the Caribbean for a little over a week and just getting around to posting pictures. I know there was a lot of fuss of whether or not the SLT lights would so I bit

Well, I finally got around to installing my 16-17 LED headlights. A huge thanks goes out to @zmnypit for fabricating the adapter harnesses.

I've been looking on eBay and other places to find a deal on a pair of the new led headlamps. What's up with the actual led headlight bulbs? Do they come as part of the assembly? I'm asking because I've messaged a couple people about buying a pair and asked if the bulbs and controllers were included, and was told there are no bulbs since they're led headlights. But there has to be a bulb of some sort to produce light.

 

So I guess what I really need to know is what should I be looking for to be included with these assemblies as far as having everything I need to install minus the gen5diy harness?

Someone else may have a better answer since I'm still looking as well. However, it's a sealed unit so the LED board and everything else should be included. The LED's aren't like a typical bulb because the service life on then is lie 25000 hours and probably will never need to be replaced...

That's where I've been confused as I'm currently running aftermarket LED bulbs and I can take them in and out lol. I've seen some auctions say ballasts included and others say control module included. I'm also trying to figure out the difference in the chromed ones and blackish ones (so far I'm assuming chromed is Denali trim), and a way to tell a difference between the hid and led assemblies that don't have a part number listed.

 

It looks like everything is built into the led assembly, but I'm just trying to make sure I don't order a set and then need to hunt down another part to make them light up.

I just finished doing this to my truck last weekend. I picked up the LED headlights from Ebay also. One was new and the other one used. The headlights are sealed units with all bulbs included. With the appropriate harness, they are plug and play.

front New 16 headlights

New lights on from front

They look sharp on there bud! Thanks for clarifying that. I'm assuming after digging around, that the led module is the big silver piece on the back. I saw a listing for one without the module, and the metal piece wasn't there. I found a set like new for 1450, I've about bought them twice now lol. I'm waiting to hear back from my question of whether they work or not since it doesn't actually say that anywhere in the listing. If that's all good then I'll join the upgrade club.

Yes sir, I understand. Sounds like you got it all figured out. The listings I bought mine from both said the lights had been tested and they accepted returns. Not sure how they would have done that or if they really were, but it made me feel a little better about giving them a shot without fear of being stuck with a headlight that didn't work. Post some pics when you get done!

Put it on a charge card or PayPal and if they don't work and the seller plays games you can file a claim

I would go through paypal for sure. But if it doesn't mention working or not working in the listing I imagine it could get tricky to win a claim lol. I just want to make sure they work. I've been trying to figure out why they are for sale unless it was a totaled truck somehow and the lights made it out without a scratch. Just makes me wonder a little haha.

Will definitely post some pics once I get some.

I see that set as well.

 

Not sure I wanted to pay that much since I've seen some cheaper. I currently have one on the way and I am on the hunt for a good driver side.

 

Anyone feel up to making a video or taking pictures of the 16+ LED headlights functioning on a 14+ truck with the re-pin or whatever harness you used?

From my understanding, the way to tell the difference between HID and LED by looking at them, is LED has that little GMC badge next to the projector, whereas HID has a turn signal bulb there.

What are you wanting to see? Everything works as the 14-15 slt lights do with a repin with the exception of the DRL shutting off with turn signal and the intellibeam feature. The auto lights, drl, brights etc are all the same.

This is correct.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
