As we are aware the headlights on the 2014/15 are not desirable... Looking at upgrades and a coworker suggest LEDs. He has used www.superbrightleds.com for his needs and it looks like they have high and low beam LEDS for our truck. Has anyone done this conversion? I'm interested to find out how it went and what you think about it afterwards??

I've got them in my 2015 silverado.. very nice bright lights had to cut the tabs on the caps that seal the high and low beams and switch them around.. only downfall is they interfere with the fm radio but I have xm so doesn't bother me

LED's will be brighter than the stock halogen lights but they are not as bright as HID's. Just helped a friend remove his HID's and put LED's in a 2014 silverado and they are not as bright or have as much down road visibility. I would say that the HID's he had were 25% brighter than the LED's but the LED's are 200% better than stock.

These are what I put in mine. I have no issues and no need to cut tabs as it is a direct swap with the stock bulbs

 

Did you get the ones with or without the CANbus?

 

 

but the LED's are 200% better than stock.

 

That's what I was looking for... I realize the HID is best route but I dont have the $$$ or time to do that conversion at this time.

Just don't put them in a Halogen headlight, be respective of others...

Stock is halogen in both projector and reflector h1 I believe for both. But yes HID and LED should not go into a reflector housing.

So will these not work well in the stock headlights that are on the truck??

They will, he is just talking about the glare and mismanaged light that hid creates when they are not focused correctly. It will work but usually if it's not a projector most of the light doesn't go where it should on the road.

I ordered the CAN-bus just in case, but installed without and everything, including the DRL's work as intended.

Do your drl's still function properly?

 

Yes sir

I just installed the new vled smz bulb (low and high) and they're bright as heck

I just installed the same set up but they keeping flickering and shutting off. Vleds said they have a drl module coming out in September to fix.....hope fingers crossed. They sure are nice and bright though.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
