Hey all.  I’m the proud new owner of a 2019 trail boss custom.  I want to purchase the LED headlights from Chevy, does anyone know if they are just plug and play?  I am assuming they should fit...but not positive.

 

Does anyone know?

 

thanks!

I haven’t seen it done yet, but past experience with the previous generation would lead me to believe it’s not likely to be plug and play. GEN5DIY makes adapters but nothing for the ‘19s yet. I’m sure you know, but you’d need a new grill too as the LED headlight shape is different (smaller).

Not sure if it is plug and play but the grill is completely different on the models with the LED lights as it wraps differently through the lights

The wiring harness, connectors and the fuse/ power requirements could also be different. You can check with the dealer to see if the part number on the wiring harness is the same, if so you could have some luck in the swap if they fit your existing grill/fender opening.

LED headlights?

The Up-level Silverado Trims have completely different head and turn signal housings with built in LED systems.

Your only option is to wait for an HID kit or throw some HID bulbs in your stock halogen sockets.

And be prepared to get flashed an awful lot. HID in standard housings is usually not good, and worse in a tall truck.

 

But really, I still got flashed often in my Sierra with OEM HID, and flashed a few times in the new rig with LEDs.

LOL...

I get flashed in my '14 Sierra with Stock Projectors and Silverstar Halogens.

Yeah, those non-DOT legal HID retrofit kits are terrible.  Xenon arcs have entirely different shapes (and resulting reflections) than standard halogen bulbs.

They are not cool for low beams.  For high beams.. whatever floats your boat I guess.

 

The most obnoxious offenders around me are the ones with LED light bars hanging on the front bumper on with the low beams.  On city streets with streetlights.

I guess they think they look cool. :shakehead:  Or maybe like the F-150 driver this morning with the tailgate sticker "Unapologetically American" lol.

Once in a blue moon I get flashed but who cares. I just flash back ?

curious if anyone has used led bulbs in the halogen housing on the new trail boss custom?  Would this be OK?  Void any type of warranty?

I did change my halogen with LED's in the halogen housing.  I have had them for 3 weeks now.  So far no issue.  I also changed out my halogen high beams with LED;s.  No issues at all.  it looks so much better.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
