I added the OEM fogs to my Custom and have 6K LED's in my highs and they're almost a perfect match. 

Thank you!

I was guessing around 6k but is nice to hear someone with experience comment. They don't have to be exact I just wanted them close(r)!

Yeap. You'll be happy. :)

 

 

BTW. I meant lows (low beams), not highs. I left the highs incandescent for the time being. Will probably change those to LED's eventually, but with the aforementioned combo, I really never use the highs, so I'm in no hurry.

Their are alot of other better options in my opinion. More expensive yes but alot brighter and clearer.  I put morimoto 2 stroke bulbs in mine, they are even bright in the day time. No need for high beams with these. Adjusted properly they are totally awesome. At 145.00 a set tho but well worth it..!!  I'll try later to get a good pic so u can compare them.

I'm ignorant about adjusting headlights... you mean they're so bright that the beam has to be tuned towards the ground?

Also 145 a set meaning $290 for both lows and highs?

Yes, they "might" need to be adjusted down some. Because your stock headlights are made for halogen bulbs. Which work differently. 

 

And yes 145.00 a pair, u wont need the highs at all. I left them alone, it's a waste.  These  bulbs with the stock fog lights are like the sun coming up the road.

 

I dont look for cheap led bulbs, 9 out of 10 times they dont last and u get to buy them again and again. Especially a light that will be on all the time.

I put the Sealights in today and I like them. They do pair up quite well with the OEM LED fog lights.

The beam pattern is really similar to the OEM halogens as mentioned by others. This was important to me. The lows are good and clean below the line and don't spill out above it into oncoming traffic.

 

EDIT after the fact: after using them a bit more I can say both high and low beam are better than OEM. I really like these bulbs. They work well in the OEM halogen-fitted headlight housing. They're not crazy bright (which I like) but they're whiter, brighter, and sharper than the halogens.

 

One observation is that I can't tell as much of a difference between low beam and high beam. I think it's probably because these low beams are relatively brighter with respect to the OEM halogens than the high beams. It's possible that these high beams just aren't throwing as far down the road... but it's hard for me to say. I wouldn't say they're inadequate at all... just that the highs are not as noticeably brighter than the lows as the OEM bulbs are.

I suspect that it may be a combination of the fact that the Sealight low beams are more noticeably brighter than the OEM than the high beams, and that the Sealight high beams perhaps concentrate a little bit more in the center whereas the OEM halogens highs spill out a bit higher and further down the road..... in my truck at least.

 

I don't have any beam pattern pics but here are some pics that show color from lamps and the match up with the OEM fogs.

The fogs are a little bit cooler color if you're crazy picky but I'm happy with it and agree with M2M they match up well.

I just bought my first Silverado. Mine is a 2020 Trail Boss and want to change out the bulbs to LED.  I would assume the bulbs are the same as your 19?

I just bought my first Silverado. It’s a 2020 Trail Boss. I am assuming the bulbs would be the same as your 19?

Mine is a 2020 as well. I bought the bulbs from the link posted by RottDawgler on the first page of this thread. (H11 low beam and 9005 high beam)

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
