Can someone who has swapped the stock reverse lights out for LED ones confirm what size  bulb they are and post a link for the ones they bought?  I want to match the bed lights in color as close as possible

I just ordered a set of reverse LEDs, #921 from deautoled.com they'll be here Saturday. Hope they fit. I'll follow up here after installing them. They have a decent following over on the Tacoma forums

Just note - when you change these reverse lights it will make the already very bright reverse camera (at night) even much more brighter.

They have a decent following over on the Tacoma forums, really bright, makes use of the reflector and lifetime warranty. Also ordered a set of Phillips extreme for the license plate lights. The incandescent reverse bulbs look terrible while the rest of the truck is LED. Thanks GM..

I plan on tinting just the reverse section of the taillight so that is why I want LED bulbs to still be able to see when backing up.  Thanks for the info though I will be sure to tint them enough that it doesnt make the camera brighter

I fail to see the point of getting brighter lights then tinting them down...Are you just wanting to black out the clear part of the tail lamp assembly?

Correct my original plan was to black out the clear part of the tail lamp but then someone mentioned to me that it will make it harder to see when backing up, which I totally understand so that's why I want the LED bulbs

I think it's hit or miss with any 921 LED. Some are better than others and some are way overpriced. The Philips ones are a bit more expensive but I think they work better with the reflector and don't just scatter the light all over the place like others do...

I got the deautoled.com 921's and the Phillips extreme T10 6000k plate lights installed. They match perfect, and they're really bright. I'm impressed. Backup camera is a bit brighter, but at least I can see behind the truck now. 

 

DS is LED, PS is OEM in the photo

I used the auxbeam from amazon work great I want to see and be seen. You can still use the camera but there is a difference but doesn’t wash it all out.

Did you get these installed? I got a pair and the white end doesn't seem to fit into the socket properly.. it feels to tight and I don't want to force it in or break it..

Yes, I did install then with no issue.  You may have to put touch of force.  Here are the lights afterward.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
