I just bought last night a set of 194 and 291 LEDs at Walmart. They are the pilot brand. The 194 has 5 LEDs and 921 has 9 LEDs. To me the back up lights look bright but the license 194 look good but not bright. Does anyone have experience with the pilots. Not sure if that's a good output or a crappy output. In the rear view can w backup lights on the visibility is much better

I bought 2 pairs of the ones Luster posted, as well as a 10 pack of generic 194's for the license plate lights and whatever else I can think of. Bright as ****!

Here's a pic of the cargo LED's, well worth $12.99. I can't look at them directly... super bright.

 

I'm using these same LED's for my reverse lights. Twice as bright as OEM.

1,000 lumens? That blows the competition out of the water! Wondering how accurate that measurement is.

I've been looking at 921's for a while, 100 lumens was common, I should have some 350's in the mailbox today, and was excited about 350. Thanks for busting my bubble.

1000 lumens can't be the true output on a bulb like that. I'd call bs. Looking at true high end LED's the most lumens I can find are 410 and they are $90

For $12 or $13 bucks, you cant beat these bulbs, 1000 lumens or not. Have them running on my truck too

I don't care if the manufacturer claims 10,000 lumens; just read the reviews on Amazon. Pretty amazing LED's for the price.

Phillips bulbs. 194 for the plate and 921 for the reverse and cargo. <$50 on Amazon

I got the 3 packages from Pep Boys for $43 total. This is with their "FOUND25" promo code that is going on through February 27th I believe.

 

The promo code took $13.25 off of my total purchase. So without refiguring the taxes, I would have been at $56.30 without the discount (technically a little higher because of the added taxes on the $13.25)

 

If you've got a Pep Boys around you, the promo code is helpful

I have the same ones and they are great, nice and bright but I have noticed they interfere with the pic quality on my back up camera, would like to find ones that don't interfere but just as bright.

I'm looking to do the same as one of my license plate lights is burnt out in my 2015. How do they look?

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
