Hi all...I am looking to purchase a new LT TB with the midnight edition package. Most of the dealerships around me have been sold out but there is one dealership that has a black on black LT TB that is not the midnight edition. Does anyone know just what the difference in the LED headlights the TB has versus the regular LT TB. The dealership is telling me they can make this LT look just like the midnight edition which I understand you can just paint the bedliner, swap the bowties and black out the exhaust tips. I was just wondering if the headlights actually are much different. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

What I’ve read the headlights are supposed to have black bezels that are different. Same LED technology and daytime running lights though. Here’s a pic of it but to be honest, I can’t tell the difference from this and the LED headlights that are on the LT TB. 3c8ceacf8d967176c8e3c33ff49a044f.jpg

The Midnight Edition adds to Trail Boss’ look, but with an all-black approach: black Silverado badging, black grille, black Bowties, black bumpers, black exhaust tips and black off-road assist steps. The all-black appearance is accented by red recovery hooks.

The LT Trail Boss Midnight Edition comes exclusively with 6.2L V-8 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission with 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque.

Maybe that’s why the DRL in that pic I sent is bigger. If you’re after the midnight look I would say wait until you get one at a dealer. Don’t have the dealer try to replicate it because they will probably just try to black out the badges and add the steps and say it’s the same.

I have a non-midnight black LT TB and these headlights look notably different. The headlights in the pic look like the headlights of HC trim (thicker DRL and LED turn signal).

There's no doofference at all in the headlights from the stock RST.  The blackout in the above photo is the normal surround of a black "wings" of a black grille and black body. Compare against the red surround in my photo. The LED lenses (and some internal walls) and DRLs are normally smoked.

As for blackout of the balance of the front, all a black grille will do is make the chrome surround of the bowtie and clear lenses of any optional fog lamps stick out like a sore thumb.

 

To "dechrome" properly in addition to the black badging and stick blackout surround window trim of the RST, I had to pi$$ away another $200 to buy a lighted black bowtie which has a matching normally smoked surround (when not lighted) and another $10 for a partially smoked plexiglasscover for the fog lamps.

They are different.  See my post directly above yours.  Midnight LT Trail Boss uses the High Country full LED headlights.  Has not only the DRL >< but also LED signal. 

 

RST and LT Trail Boss have the LED headlights but the signals are regular bulbs.

Thomcat, I think in your last pic you can tell its a  different DRL (LED strip is much narrower than the HC/mignight headlights).

To be honest, I like the standard DRLs on the Trail Boss better. The slim DRL looks cleaner and I like the carbon fiber fill in. Also, I changed my bulb in the turn signals to the Lasfit LEDs and they are perfect.

I see that now, but the wider DRL/directionals have a clear lens instead the stock smoked ones on the RST you would expect those lenses to be smoked like the headlights.

Is that custom or did you order those fog lamp covers?

Sorry to thread-jack. But, have you had any issues (namely hyper-flash) with the Lasfit LED turn signal bulbs?

None whatsoever. I heard that it’s the bulb overheating when that happens and all you do is turn off the signals and let to cool then it goes back to normal. Since that was the case for some I just avoid using them for a long period of time such as leaving hazards on. I will say that the light is crisp and clean.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
