I've noticed that the 2016 1500 comes stock with LED and HIDS. Does anybody know if the stock ballast and igniter are a straight for the 2500 HD?

No. Silverado HD use a dual beam setup. Halogen projector low beam (the top light), and reflector high beam (the lower). 2016+up 1500 trucks use a single bulb HID projector lens setup. Nothing on them is plug and play, and the bulbs are completely different (H11 halogen on HD and D3S HID bulb on 2016+up 1500).

 

Try Xenondepot. http://www.xenondepot.com/2016-silverado-2500-hd-hid-headlight-kit-bulbs-s/33331.htm

 

I have the Xtreme LEDs that they offer.

Well, today, i went to go test drive a 2500 HD Denali and to my surprised it has stock HIDs. I'm assuming you can swap GMC 2500 HD with the silverado 2500 HD HIDS??

Pretty much same answer as above. GMCs have a single lamp setup, so it wouldn't be plug and play.

How were the instructions & installation? Did everything you needed, come w/ that kit? I see some kits on the 'net that you more or less have to pick and choose your components. I haven't a clue about HID systems so I'd rather go w/ something that has a "complete" package.

 

TIA

 

The paperwork that came w/ the LEDs that I bought was pretty lame. They said if any issues to contact them, but no contact info included nor any results when you do a Google search.

The XenonDepot stuff plugs right into existing wiring (the high/low beam bulb sockets, whichever you are changing). Plus, you can tuck the driver and the wiring all in the headlamp housing.

Does it retain the large black plastic "cover"? The size of the LEDs wouldn't allow them to be reinstalled

Yep. I have all of that right inside the lamp housing.

I got the Xenon Depot HID kit today.

 

Contents include:

 

HID Bulbs

 

Xtreme HID Ballast

 

HID Igniter (PWM Anti-flicker module)

 

Relay Harness*

 

*Some vehicle specific HID kits may not include/require a relay harness.

 

No mention in the instructions if this harness is necessary w/ the GM wiring. (I've emailed XD)

 

Has anyone installed a similar kit on the Silverado HD? Any tips for wiring routing or component mounting?

 

Thanks in advance.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
