Hey, looking at 2019 AT4, HIGH COUNTRY, and LTZ! Question on headlights, all three have LEDS, but in the GM description for AT4 and HIGH COUNTRY they are called HID LEDs, are they actually different bulbs than the LTZ, which they call them just LEDs?

I drove an LT ALL STAR and was very disappointed with the headlights, I presently have a 2017 LTZ with the projector LED and as far as I am concerned best vehicle headlights out there.

Anyone with AT4 or HIGH COUNTRY comments would be appreciated.

I havent seen an HID yet that could hold a candle to my wife's 16 Volvo xc90. Best headlights I have ever used. My 19 AT4 is close though! They are very good.

I had an F150 with LED's and thought they were awesome. The lights in my AT4 are just as good I believe. Some guys have talked about getting brighted due to the extra height of the truck but I have not encountered that yet.

There are three tiers of headlights for Silverado:

 

WT, Custom, Custom TB are all halogen headlights.

 

Then the LT, RST, LT TB, and LTZ share the same headlight assemblies with “normal” LEDs, and incandescent turn signals.

 

High Country has special headlight assemblies that contain higher intensity LEDs, than the rest of the Chevys. They also have LED turn signals.

 

Similar story on the GMC side, although with them, SLT and up all have the same headlight assemblies. Sierra, Elevation and SLE have lower end LED headlights and incandescent turn signals like the lower trim Chevys.

Thank you for that answer, that is kind of what I suspected. Do you know if these higher intensity LEDs are part of the headlight assembly or we might be able to upgrade the bulb from the LTZ to the HIGH COUNTRY type?

Everything looks to be integrated into the headlight “module”...so I would assume swapping the whole thing will be the only way. 

 

Personally, I am happy with the performance stock LTZ headlights anyway. If I did do the swap, it would be to get the HC’s LED turn signal and brighter DRL.

I'm so happy with my LTZ headlights. Much better than my previous 2014 LT. I think the high beam should have been stronger.

My RST has great bulbs, much better than the halogens on my 2016 F-150. My Benz had xenons and it's really close!

Yeah, 2014-2015 headlights were notoriously bad.

The new Acura TL headlights are bright little bastards too...

I agree 100%. 

 

Very happy with lows but the high beams leave something to be desired.  I think a behind the grill lightbar will fix that for me in the future.  I've already been eyeballing the grill shutters to mod them a bit... :)

Very impressed with the light density, and the throw of light on my RST with LEDs. 

 

I think the intensity of the DRL LEDs are very good, too. I like how they dim down a little when the headlights are on, vs. the K2s with the LED strip that seemed to stay with the same DRL intensity when the headlamps were on.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
