Have no idea how you guys got them installed.  Man. That’s tight. Ripped my arm couple times lol.  Still. Gonna have to take grille off and pull the headlights.   For the life of me I cannot get the high beam driver side bulb to lock in place. Pissing me off!!! Lol 

I installed mine by going in the wheel wells. Take off the T15 screws and peel back fender liner. Its Way easier then cutting up your hands. It takes no time and you have a ton of room down there.

I installed mine according to the install video and have had zero oncoming cars flash me. Correctly installed the power cord will be facing down and the LED bulbs will be at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'cloc

X2 ^^^^

 

Installed mine today and it's marginally better than the stock light output. Looks much better, but not a crazy difference.

 

I had an issue on the passenger side, when turning the bulb into its final lock position, where it caught on the reflector guard inside the housing. The little one in the low beam with the chevy logo on it. personally it looks a little bent/off center to me - and my output on the right side is aimed funny.

 

Any input is appreciated. I didn't try any adjustment yet.

Stay tuned, got some serious upgrades coming to the trail boss lights. Klearz lenses getting made this week. Chrome getting painted black and D2S 5.0 projectors getting retrofitted in the lights. Gonna be sweet and perform great.
These lights are an absolute bitch to get open. I have been doing this for a very long time (over 12 years) and these suckers fight the whole time baking them open. ba815a0948b27e3554c6c2f31d09b5a3.jpgf7bac689da8c1f0a31f6619d41fc915b.jpg

Does the custom trial boss have DRL? I don’t remember. I installed the sea lights and I DO NOT have DRL now. But the headlights do in fact work 
Sea lights? Yes the have a DRL mode so depending on what you installed a capacitor link may be needed.

I have these exact bulbs in my trail boss custom and have no issue with DRL or needing to install anything additional.

I just installed a 4 piece set of LED lights from Sealight on my '19 Silverado Custom Trailboss. 

Just make sure you buy mini or low profile bulbs as most of the LED bulbs have the large cooling fans with heat sinks mounted on the back of each bulb and you won't be able to reinstall the dust covers.

 

 

Whatever you buy, make sure the bulbs are low profile as there's not as much room directly behind the bulbs like on previous years. 

My '14 Silverado Rally 2 I just traded in had room for the large cooling fans on the rear of the bulbs. But this isn't the case with the '19's. 

 

These are the ones I just installed in my truck. 

I bought the 9005/H11 4piece set. 

What a difference in color and brightness.. 110% better.

Hope this gives you an idea of what you need to change your headlights out.

Bough the listed LEDs off amazon, and after some scraped up hands and brief panic that I had my arm stuck, I swapped out to the new ones.  Worked great on the drive home from dinner, nobody flashed!  Thanks for the post and info!

This is going to sound dumb but how are you testing your DRL function? To get DRL to turn on typically you have to be in drive. I assume when you turn the knob on the dash manually you can get the lights to turn on?

No issues with DRL -  auto headlight function works fine. With the sealights anyways.

Do you guys catch any radio stations with sealight? I bought a pair of novsight leds (btw high beam won’t fit) and i get alot of radio inteference with them.

No issues with radio interference using the sealights.

I just installed Supernovas, gtr's, in both low and high. H11 low and drl, 9005 hi beams. Went thru wheelwell as others did. Took about an hour, only cause I didnt check polarity before I buttoned up first side. Ugh. Second side took 10 minutes after my first goof. Dust cover design is the best Ive ever seen, super easy to remove and replace. A simple counter-clockwise turn on the bulb, and they come out. Not much room in there.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
