They look cheap as hell, imo. The top looks better, but still kind of tacky to me. OEM projector is very stylish, hopefully something can be incorporated - in time.

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

Threw a set of Hikari Lumileds in mine. Super bright with a good beam pattern that doesn’t seem to bother people. Carries down the road even better than the stock halogens.

I tried the h11 from lifetime led, the dust caps didn't fit on because the plugs on a 90 degree angle and runs into the lip for the cap.  So now I have morimoto 2 stroke 2.0 h11's. They are super bright and match the factory led fog lights almost perfectly. They are expensive tho, around 145.00. They need to be adjusted so they shine nice and aren't all over the place.

Here is website that for the trail boss custom headlights 
I hope these helps out

For the love of god, dont buy from those clowns. Lol. They do some real shady shit. Many other companies have been scammed by the owner of HID retrofit kit. Additionally the jerk goes around and leaves bad reviews on other builder pages even though they have never done business.

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.

Thanks for the suggestion. I ordered and installed mine over the weekend. The lights are much brighter and look a whole lot better than the stock halogens!

Rott, Thanks for the info . Installed mine this week and love them so far. Just drove from Indiana to Florida on Sunday with no problems. Question I had did you just stick the whole wire in the hole and put the cover back on. That’s what I did. To change the Hi beams you better have a friend with small arms. Mine looked like a shark got ahold of them just changing the low beams. Thanks again.

Jim,

 

Yes, I took the remainder of the wires and stuffed them Inside the hole next to the bulb and put the rubber boot back on.. 

I agree, when your done your arms/hands look like you landed a small shark and he gave one last fight. ?  GM definitely didn’t leave much room to change the bulbs.
I installed a pair of these bulbs in my wife’s Chevy Trax Redline and it took 2 mins. The headlights are right out in the open. 
It’s going on 9 months now with these headlights and they’re still working flawless. ??

Got my 2019 Trail Boss Custom a week ago as a Black Friday deal of the day. Sealight LEDs were my first upgrade and many more upgrades arriving this week. These Sealights are a huge upgrade for being plug and play @$135...

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I read through that and I won't lie, my eyes rolled at some of the quirks about how it can turn off the trailer braking for example but I can see how it could help control or even up the torque applied to the ground with each wheel in a boat ramp scenario. But of course what it can't do is increase the torque to the wheels if the need is there as it ends up being like driving the four wheel drive version of a two wheel drive ( high range that is ). So far the neighbor that ended up with the 3.0 duramax with the max tow package which meant the 3.73 gears and high range only, I think its been doing ok for what he has been towing but doubt he ventures off into the soft stuff with his holiday trailer. He may have towed his dads river boat locally with it ( he always used his 6.6 duramax before ), I'll have to ask him sometime if he got into a lack of power to the wheels situation as after all that engine produces a lot of torque at low speed once the turbo winds out a bit and I think it has the 10 speed and if so they have a pretty good first gear ratio at 4.70 I see which is vastly better than the 3 or four speed overdrive models of years ago.
