LED Light Question

[2024Denali]

Hi all, first, if there is a post regarding this please let me know. I will gladly delete this post. I have been searching and haven't been able to find exactly what I am looking for.

 

Here is what I want - LED light for the whole exterior of my 2014 GMC Sierra. I have seen OPT 7 is a great brand, but I haven't found their 9012s for the Sierra, am I missing something? Are there any other LED brands that you would recommend?

 

Also, does anyone have any links for the LED bulbs that you put on for brake lights, turn signals, and bed lights? Have you ran into any issues? Do you need a resistor or anything?

 

Again, please let me know if there are any threads with this content, I will gladly read them.

 

EDIT - Found the reverse lights and license plate lights - Phillips 194, 921. Still have the question if you run into any issues with them.

Xenon Depot for headlights and VLEDS for reverse. Either for all the other lights. Get CANBUS bulbs and you should have no issues or need for extra resistors.

Philips have done me good. I only had to do my cargo, reverse and license plate since I have an LTZ with factory leds. My buddy has them in his f150 and my girl in her cx5 and their all working perfectly

The people that are using Phillips LEDs for the reverse/license plate/third brake light, are they plug/play for those bulbs? I feel like I only read about people needing relays/diodes when speaking about using LEDs for headlights..?

You can make 9006 style bulbs fit in the 9012 style sockets with about 30 seconds and a dremel tool. You just have to cut down one of the tabs on the 9006 bulbs. I had to do that on my HID kit but it worked perfectly for me. Most of the aftermarket bulb manufacturers that I've seen are actually using the 9006 style bases for all of there "kits" for the 2014+ trucks.

Anyone have any different LED headlights they would recommend besides OPT 7? Specifically looking for LED, not HID. Anyone use LED brake lights?

You can swap to 2016 led headlights and tail lights as well.

I would really just like to find the led lights that can replace the stock.

They are Plug and Play. I did this 5 months ago on my 2016 LT. For the 3rd Brake light, you're replacing the Cargo Lamp and not the brake light Lamp.

Do you get any warnings or error from On star after replacing them with LED?

[JoJoSilverado]

That'd definitely be a lot simpler (and more well-liked to me personally in regards to aesthetics), but the cost of all the parts for the conversion isn't as attractive.. lol

Nope.

Sorry, was just referring to that area as I blanked on the correct terminology of the lights. Thanks for the info.

 

Why is it that the headlights aren't plug and play like the reverse/cargo/license plate lights? Sorry if this is an elongated answer, if you've answered it somewhere else in detail, feel free to simply link it and I'll go read it there!

White Sierra, not sure if it is just the led bulb, but I did get an OnStar message on my truck and the wives Tahoe. the led bulb will only work in one direction on the license plate bulbs unlike a traditional bulb, that does not make a difference which way it goes into the socket. and, the best part is, the OnStar message never goes away.
