okay you guys i know this might sound odd but i am trying to find some led lights to replace the park sensors on my new bumper. the reason is it is a bumper replacement bumper and it is only made with the holes pre-drilled and my pickup is NOT equipped with the park sensor feature. i have looked every where trying to find the size of the holes so that i can kinda narrow down my search but i am not having any luck. i am hope maybe yall have some knowledge to lend me.

 

 

thank you in advanced!!

I'm not sure what you're going for (purpose of the lights) but i think it's a really interesting idea.. I was looking at this thread here a while ago, and I'm thinking maybe these bolt led lights might fill that hole pretty well.  

 

 

I'm thinking these might be rather easy to use, once you find the size and color you're looking for.

Please keep us posted and let us know how it turns out.

I am going to look into those. My main reason really is to fill the holes for the sensors without using a rubber plug. Looking for maybe amber or just white for the front and red for the back

I would imagine you could get pretty trick with them, depending on how much time you want to invest in it. You could have the outer one on either side, front (amber) and back (red) tapped into the turn signals.

Then middle ones in the rear could be tapped into the brake lights (red). The front middle ones you could use white, and have them on tapped from the headlights, or on an independent switch. 

 

It all depends on how much time and imagination you want to invest.

I am not sure. I need to measure the holes for the sensor but my pickup is in the shop right now...

Okay, so I went and measured the holes for the rear bumper. They are 1”. So would it be best to find an led light that the housing is 1” or pretty close and has threads and a nut for the back and the head of the light be a little bigger than 1”? What do y’all think?

Here is another option that is duel function and there is a chrome ring to hide any rubber.

I think these might be the way to go! Size would work, and you could always paint the chrome rings if you're going painted bumper.

Yeah but what holds it in place? The body of the light which is 3/4” is what goes into the hole which is 1“.  So how does it stay in place? That outer ring just keeps it from falling all the way through. It won’t keep in secured. Correct?

You know what, you are correct. I hadn't noticed till you asked, but those lights don't have the locking nut behind them to hold them in place. That's my mistake. What you would need is something like these, which have a threaded back, so you would be able to tighten it against the back side of the bumper.

These look a little bit larger

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
