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.

Thinking about switching from 14 SLT lights to 2016 lights and at the same time adding Morimoto HID Elite.

 

Can anybody tell me:

 

-Are there any differences between 16 SLE, SLT and Denali lights?

-DO all 3 lights have the same projector shrouds, and are they HID projectors?

 

I know with my 2014 SLT the projectors are halogens and I've heard if you're going to upgrade to the HID kit, it's night and day to upgrade the projectors as well.

 

I'm thinking I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone if the 16 heads have HID proijectors.

 

Anyone know?

2016 SLE are HID low and high beam headlights with LED DRL and incandescent turn signals

2016 SLT/Denali are LED low/high beam headlights with LED DRL and LED turn signal

So basically, if I buy a complete set of lights, it will come with either HID's or LED bulbs depending on the trim level. And therefore I wouldn't need to buy the morimoto HID kit?

 

Also, do the 16+ LED Brake lights require a separate harness kit to make compatible to 14/15? And/Or would you need resistors as well?

Thanks!

Yes the 2016 SLE headlight housing have the ballast and bulb included in the housing. If you went with the SLE HID housing you do not need separate morimoto ballasts or bulbs. The SLE housing are mush cheaper than the SLT/Denali full LED housings.

 

The 2016 SLT/Denali housing all LED's are contained in the sealed housing. You just need an adapter harness for either housing.

 

The 2016 taillights you need an adapter harness and the resistors are integrated into the harness.

To elaborate on the HID portion. 2016+ SLT's had the option for the T4L it wasn't denali specific but all 2016+ denalis have the T4L which are the LED high/low beams. 2016+ HD trucks have the old style housing but with an HID projector/bulb combo. 2016+ 1/2 tons without T4L will have the new style housings with HID bulbs/ballast. Side note on the HID, GM used a new ballast on bulb style HID that is only rated at 25 watts, that being said replacing the projector ballast and bulb will give better light out put then the 2016+ HID systems will. If you're looking for optimal light output without major modification go with 2016+ LED headlights. Cheapest way to get great light output is to open your factory housing and replace the project with a rx350 or FXR, get ahold of some denso ballasts and put in some OSRAM CBI bulbs.

We'll what do we have here? Huge thanks goes out to abominable z71. Without him this wouldn't be possible!

 

edit: Alright guys I've got the green light to refer anyone wanting this mod PM abominable z71. Its a very simple process on my adapters with only one wire being cut. If you pick a set up from him feel free to message me if you need helping figuring out wire colors. Thanks!

Nice thanks for the video Zmnypit. Now just need a set of Morimoto XB LED fog lights to match your headlights.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
