looks good. How do you like your OPT7 HID / Led's ? Would you do it again ?

 

output and pattern of the HI/LOW HIDs is great... i am having some random issues of one low beam not firing on every once in awhile.. sometimes pass side.. sometimes driver side... BRAND NEW BULBS... harness and capacitors hooked up...

 

the ballasts, harness and capacitors are pushing 2 years old... not sure if thats the reason or not... but i have the new Opt7 FluxBeam X LEDs that will be at my door tomorrow that I am going to try in the low beams and see how they are

 

 

 

Which fuse did you use?

 

there is a 10amp misc ignition fuse under hood... cant remember off top of my head... but i will try to get a pic of it ...

 

PM me if you are interested and ill send the pic directly to you

Added a neodymium magnet to the steering column to hold the key fob still. $18 and a piece of double sided tape. The fob sticks right to it and does not bang around any more.   The magnets were

I have the same set up for my headlights. Great lights, the fans can get loud sometimes but not to the point where you hear it that much in the truck, they have horrible horrible customer service. One light went out while warranties and it took a month to get a replacement.

Yes it’s tough, you have to pack all the cords inside before you put the cover on but it will fit.

A co-worker and I were just discussing the OPT7 FluxBeam X LEDs, I'm going to get some soon. He has them on his Explorer and both of his motorcycles, and loves them.

Thats a cool idea. Plastidip or vinyl would work great for this. Hmm...

I used plasti dip just because I couldn't find a good vinyl that was just red and not carbon fiber looking.

Made a mesh insert using black steel mesh I found in the gutter section at Lowes. It takes 3 pieces for about $12 total. I wasn't a fan of the large openings and when I took the grill off I had a nice pile of big bugs and 1 bird at the bottom of the radiator.

 

Once you get the grill off their are 6 plastic pins to get the air shroud off the back of the grill. I cut to fit and used .032 safety wire. I drilled some holes in the back to get a secure point an that might turn off some people.

I just put the FluxBeam X in my low beams (H11).... very impressed so far!!! ZERO light scatter and I have halogen reflectors

Has anyone tried OPT7 HID kits? Specifically the BOLT AC Slim series.

 

I had the Opt7 Canbus on my 14 Silverado... had some intermittent issues with only 1 light firing on the low beams (it is a set i have been using for about a year on another vehicle... so could be ballasts/relay going bad)... great light output from them though.....

 

low beams (Opt7 Canbus 5000k)

high/low beams (both Opt7 Canbus 5000k)

both low beam pics are from exact same location... so you can compare HID vs LED

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.
