I saw a pic where one guy switched out the amber bulbs to white led strips that switchback to amber for turn signals etc.

 

Anyone done this?

I don't care for the bright amber running lights

Just a small switchback led strip. Klearz will have the clear lenses for the mirrors. Good products there. I have them on my headlights.

I've been thinking about changing out the amber reflectors on my headlights as well but was a little afraid of taking the headlights apart. How difficult was it to get them apart, or more importantly, back together and sealed properly?!

It's not too bad. The hardest part is cleaning the permaseal out of the channel once they're open, so you can apply a nice thick strip of butyl. I used the retro rubber from TRS. Haven't had any issues.

Did you follow the heating instructions outlined by Klearz or just cut them apart? How long did you let them set before you reinstalled them?

Ya I saw Klear lenses pics of the switchback led setup.. what gave me the idea. I got the clear lenses from them.

The ship installed the mirrors without doing the leds I asked them to do and then said it couldn't be done, then said it was illegal, etc lol.

Sounds like they forgot huh?

Id love to hear from peeps that have done it

Thx

I've heard from some other people that it was illegal but everywhere I've looked it said as long as the light itself blinks amber and you can see it then your fine (at least in TX). If someone else has different info I would love to check it out.

I baked mine open. 230* for around 15-18 mins. They were extra lights so I took my time. They sat for around a day or two before I installed them again.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
