Good morning all, I'm looking to remove the halogen headlights and install LED lights. Does anyone know if the 2015 Silverado 1500 is a CANBUS system? If so what LED lights and defeaters did you use? Thanks

Here's my .02 for what it is worth. Saw the greatly improved operation of the '19 Silverado LEDs over my previous '16s HID projectors. I wanted LEDs so that's why I paid the extra bucks for them stock

Horrible advise. Fans are how they cool. You listed overpriced garbage that will blind other drivers.

I forgot to put that in my initial post. I have reflector headlights.

Don't put LEDs in if you're not willing to pay the premium for ones that mimic the halogen, such as diode dynamics SL1

If it was me I would stay away from any LED that has a fan.

I like these. Best warranty, nice price and no fan.

 

I have been debating getting these LEsS for all my truck lights. High , low and fog.

Through emails with this company they say they design the LEDs for each application.

Now I'm leaning toward and LED light bar. Great light output, less money.

Read the reviews on yours then mine. Look at the product pictures. Look at the company reputation. Who wouldn't spend $50 more and get the best product for this application? The ones I listed are actually showing his vehicle unlike the generic ****** pic others use.

OK, you have your opinion and I have mine.

Agree?

Your brand has no high beam LED.

3 year warranty.

 

Reviews are opinions and I like to evaluate things myself so reviews don't mean a lot to me.

 

I didn't recommend the brand I like to start an argument or a debate.

How do you know my brand is garbage and will blind other drivers?

 

I don't mind you posting your opinion but your not an expert.

And by the way I don't hold experts in high regard either. Expert or not it's an opinion.

 

Done.

I certainly appreciate the input. Does any one know if I will need the warning cancellers? My last car had a CANBUS system where the computer monitored the whole car.

I would not buy the junk from headlight experts posted above. I would buy the diode dynamics bulbs.

 

Putting led's into projector housings is generally a bad idea because most LEDs are not designed  for that type of housing, they're often cheap sales gimmicky products that won't give you a good result. It doesn't matter how bright the light is if you are spraying it everywhere but the road.

 

And Led's are okay, but I prefer a good HID retrofit to led light, maybe in the future LED's will catch up

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      And yet the median household income there is a hair over $50k and 12% of families and 16% of the total population lives below the federal poverty line. That's low, and high, respectively.   You can choose to ignore reality...that's not what I'd call affluent but hey, you've got yours so nothing else matters or could be true, right?

      It really doesn’t matter to me. Making a blanket statement that can be refuted will be. As I pointed out the information is out there. Hey google.

      My area is one of the most affluent areas in Texas. And yet affordable housing is close by. My family business pays top wages and turnover is very low. You can’t but people in a box if you want to succeed the opportunity is there.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      It was previously working, but the continually running compressor threw me for a loop. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that a 26 year old AC system had lost some of its charge and could be exhibiting low charge indicators, so I thought I had it licked. Add some refrigerant to get the low and high pressures in range like on the old 134 systems.   I learned the continuously running compressor is normal, and that I need to know how much is in the system, as well as needing to meter what goes in. I'm only used to working on older R134a and R12 systems that aren't variable displacement. This is how we learn...LOL.   Long story short, I had a 20% off coupon for a new Jiffy Lube that opened nearby. I took it up there yesterday and they did an evac/recharge using their brand new machine from Mahle. Had a good conversation with the guy, they loved the car and I was out of there for $159 plus tax. Digitally measured charge, exactly 1.5lb of refrigerant went in.

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?
