I wonder?  Does it not bother anyone that the path of worn grass goes to a fenced part of the porch and stops, yet at the opening on the porch there is no path?  Seems a bit odd to me. Also

Doubt it would do too much damage in a reverse light. They don't usually stay on long enough to get that hot. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

Well I am willing to try them.  I ordered and received new taillights, Spyder brand for my 08.  I'll be installing these this week and already had ordered a LED bulb for the reverse bulbs in this, but

Also look at the shadows cast on the far right side of the house, they don't seem to match the angle of the light.

Just my thoughts.

You may be on to something inspector.

 Something putting out that much light is going to be putting out a lot of heat for such a small confined area in the housing.  Even if they are LEDs.

You guys aren't having any other problems when you swap to random LED stuff? I've seen times that circuits freak out and over heat or they just don't work.
Every exterior bulb except for my front marker/turn signals are LED. No issues.

I got them for my truck. Are they bright: yes. Are they $45 bright? It depends on your needs. Definitely helps backing up a dark driveway with tinted windows at night. I’ll try to get pictures up tomorrow.

Wow. Those look bright. I installed the $15 option presented earlier in this thread off of Amazon and they don’t seem too bright. But, it’s still daylight.

These are not very bright. Unfortunately. They’re brighter than OEM, but they don’t light up everything like other lights supposedly do.

Of course, I don’t have OEM tail lights but I should still see improvements with the right bulb.

I suppose you also noticed your 'path' going up the wall of the porch, too?  It's a discolored band of light being projected by the tail lights.

What year truck are these installed on?  I have a set waiting for install for my 2018 1500 LTZ but I cant get the original reverse bulb out.  Taking the taillight off the truck body for access is no problem, but the reverse bulb seems like its frozen in place (i dont want to break anything).  Might have the dealer install on my next oil change.  Have watched youtube videos and it seems like a simple twist to access the bulb, she doesnt want to budge in either direction left or right.

They can be a little snug. Don’t be afraid to bear down.

These are on a ‘17 SLT. I had the sylvania leds in there previously and those took a little work to get out as they’re the same diameter as the hole.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
