Crap, I don't want to do any trimming.

 

Where is the trimming for the Silverado?

I think the only trimming on the silvy is the dust cover. The projector should just unbolt, and I think you can only use 3 of 4 mounting studs if you choose not to open the headlight completely.

Dust cover, that shouldn't be a problem. What are you guys doing to seal the hole, or is does the kit come with a rubber grommet of some sort?

 

Also, if you only use 3 of the 4 mounting holes, is there any bounce or movements with the lights? Nothing more annoying than seeing a car come down the road with the headlights bouncing all over the place.

How is the install on this, I am tempted as I would like to go HID.

 

Figured I would start this after seeing the fog lights do pretty good. I wanted to check to see if we could get plenty of people for their Bargain deal on the FXR Projectors. I'm about to pull the trigger on them and wanted to check if there was interest from anyone else? If we start a list I will add the people to my original post. Thanks

Ditto. Depends on price.

I'm interested in a set for a '14 Sierra

 

 

Good Price. Forgive me being so nOOb however it says "bolt in". Do I need to remove headlights and grill, etc or what? I'm mediocre handy and / or willing to be handy.

 

5000k plug and play HID kit is super tempting at that price as long as it's easy and will last. Worried about the horror stories of people having their lights burn out.

I was hoping to but my HID kit issue has popped back up. Seeing as I started this thread I want to see this through and make sure y'all get what you need.

 

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

I guess I will order the Silverado Spec kit till we can get this lined up cause I don't have 365 for headlights yet. How do the HIDs look in the factory housing?

I should hopefully be able to tell you in another week or so. Figured I'd wait until I had some deer damage repaired before I proceeded with the install.

i have the kit and no there is no movement from the projectors YET. i have an LT model so i had to buy LTZ headlights. you dont have to open up the headlights to install the projectors but i did since i put in cleared reflectors in place of the stock amber ones. as for the dust covers, i found a site that sells extended ones for silverados for the purpose of retrofitting FXRs and they look like stock covers. havent bought them yet but its on the list til i get other mods out of the way. right now im using my oem covers but they are cut and taped to have the room i need. not a pretty sight but its serving its purpose til i get the extended ones

Nope, i think the ebays use H1 projectors.. i cant remember. I retro'd acura RDX projectors into a set of those i got off ebay, but i got another set which was made by eagle eyes that had a direct swap with lexus rx350 low beam projectors without using a bracket. Bolted right up! If you want to use the FXR's with the fastheadlights brackets, your best bet is to get a set of oem LTZs

Yeah I talked to fast and he said if I sent him the eBay headlights he could make a adapter but I'm going to have to pull the eBay headlights apart anyways so I may just retrofit regular halogen ones

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
