Can anyone remark about the LED light conversions? I was going to buy some HID bulbs but these look much easier to install. I'm sure there are some minor cutoff issues. Adversely, the anszo replacement housings? The projectors look small; however, LED seems to not need a large housing and projector.

You have a 2016 Z71? Factory bulbs are HID...what exactly are you trying to convert?

Ah lol. On my 2015 HD when I had it I did the Xenon Depot H11 (low) and 9005 (high) LEDs on my stock headlamps. What a difference! Worth the $$$, and you can with some patience tuck everything into the headlamp assembly.

So, CuzznVinny, are these just plug and play? Or is there something else needed to make these work? Did you change the high beam bulbs to match? Sorry for all the questions, just really considering trying these.

yes plug in play. I have the canbus adapters, so the DRL work perfect.

It was a tight squeeze getting the cover back on the back of the light with the heatsink.

I shaved down the little plastic nub in the center of the cover to make it fit without forcing.

The bulb, transformer and canbus box are all inside the headlight fixture.

They are also clockable, to get the cutoff just right.

 

Looks like they have and updated "pro" version with a different heatsink tho

 

They've been running everyday for a few months now.

 

Never got around to doing the high beams yet

How is the light color? I want to upgrade but I hate the look of the blue leds. I want a nice bright white color. Yours look to be a nice white color in the pic.

The specs say 5700K

To me they look pure white with almost no blue if any.

I didn't want any blue tint either and im very happy with the color.

^^^ What he said! I bought the same setup (based on his advice) and I'm very happy with them. I did the highs, lows, and fogs.

 

Have these and love em.

I have those too, and I'm very pleased. I'd recommend their replacement high beams and fogs too. Much better color than the stock halogens.

I had to HID lights in my 2015. The factory lights were so bad it was actually dangerous to drive with them. I love the HID's but the only problems I have is that 1) the On Star report comes and says something like headlights malfunction 2) My state inspection station says it's illegal to have after market HID'S.

Is anyone else having these issues?

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
