Honestly bud I would stick with hid in your headlights. Much better than led. But, if you want led them you could get a set of the new Morimoto 2Stroke LEDS (9012). Email me at [email protected] if you want cost.

Haven't seen LED's in the 2014/2015 Sierra projectors yet but I have recently help a buddy change out his stock 2014 Silverado Projector headlights from stocks to HID's and then to LED's. Hands down the HID's are the best for overall brightness and down road visibility but the LED's are a vast improvement over stock. With that said, I have read on multiple other forums that guys are doing the 2016 headlight assembly swaps on there 2014/2015 models. I have driven a 2016 model with the LED's and they are actually a little better than my 2015 with HID's. Only problem is I hear that swap is a little pricey.

The xenon Depot leds are good and fit with regular dust caps. The problem is, I had one go out on me after 9 months of use. I just ordered the Morimoto 2STROKE. Looking forward to getting them in, although I may have to purchase the larger dust caps for $80 each. I'm not cutting anything.

This is the only LED foglight you want. Morimoto and vled are junk in comparison.

Better than any HID that can be as bright but will not last nearly as long. This is by far the 'best buy' overall for quality.

Diode dynamics is coming out with a new led for the headlights. Gonna see if I can post up a link.. brb

That is a headlamp not a fog. It is also not designed to be retrofit into a reflector housing like the philips bulb linked. Also diode dynamics does not make LEDs they only assemble components. ie) they buy the led itself from either Philips(German engineering) or Cree(Chinese knockoff) and add the circuitry/housing kind of like Dell putting together a computer and slapping a Dell labal on it.

 

Make sure whatever you buy has Philips lumiLED if not a full Philips box. DD's 'lab' is basically 2 guys putting stuff together in a garage or warehouse. Philips owns the multimillion dollar research facility.

 

Moromoto and vled do the exact same thing as DD but I think both are bigger companies. Not knocking DD they are just new to the game.
