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.

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.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
