LED Bulbs

[Dino Zahirovic]

Hey all, I have a 2014 Silverado and came with Anzo aftermarket head lights( bought the truck this way) anyways, any kind of LED bulb I put in there I’m better off driving with the headlights off at night... any idea what I could do about it? And recommendations on LED bulbs that’ll work with the anzo headlights? Thanks all

If the Anzo light housing wasn't designed for LEDs it will not work properly.

Put regular bulbs in it.

If it is a projector style housing, you will have to use halogen or HID.  LEDs do not perform well in projector housings.

I’ve tried LEDs/HIDs... all dim

Then it seems you already knew the answer to your question.

New housings then.

I have to disagree with your statement. I'm using VLED's  Micro Evolution LED bulbs in my factory projector headlights and they output more light than a halogen bulb. I recommend sourcing some factory headlights Dino.

Amount of lux generated by the bulb is just one part the lighting, the other part is the beam pattern produced.

I get most of my info from headlight revolution and the testing they have done between LED and HID.

Those LEDs you got are impressive and from what I see from the pics, they have a good beam pattern too.

The projectors that Anzo uses are absolutely garbage. You can put whatever you want in them and it wont make a difference

Wow those look freaking awesome! So get rid of the anzo and buy some stock ones? Do you have a 2014? I have a 2014 LT.

Thanks and Yeah, I have a 2014 LTZ Z71. I cannot speak for Anzo’s headlight quality but I would highly recommend going back to OE projector headlights.

Oracle Lighting out of Houston Texas. Bought a pair of HID/Xenon light bulbs conversion kit to replace a 2016 GMC headlight with that ridiculous low Halogen lighting and WOW! Excellent quality and it’s plug and play.

Buying a set of eagle eyes from a guy heard they’re great aftermarket lights.

Never heard of “eagle eyes”. I recommended the Oracles as just a very easy to install HID bulb replacement and not the whole light assembly.
