Hello I installed these yesterday. They look soooo good. Great upgrade for the 19-21 Silverado Custom, Trail Boss, or Work Truck

Looks good. Better than the yellow halogens. I surmise the headlights are still used as the DRL's instead of the strips? The only thing I've noticed on Spyder lights in the past is that the LED strips are more of a dim glow and not bright because they are florescent and not LED. Probably because they stay the same brightness day and night and not like the OEM DRL's which are bright (high power) during the day then go to low power at night. What high/low headlights are you running?  They come stock with halogens.

So the LED strips are not used as DRL. They only come on when you remote start the truck or when you actually turn the lights on. Since they are plug and play they utilize the low beam as the DRL just like the normal halogen lights

The strips are CCFL (florescent) and not LED. What high/low headlights are you running?

So this housing calls for a H7 instead of a H11. It comes with those bulbs. I upgraded the H7 low beam with a LED by Beam Tech.

I didn’t know that they were florescent. They are pretty bright at night

Looks nice. Be sure you get hem aimed correctly. Go on an even slad and use mortar lines on a brick wall or similar to be sure they are same height. If you get flashed, bring them down a tad until the cut off line on the projectors is right. Not sure if you know but LED or HID headlights voids the warranty but I would've changed the halogens myself. Aftermarket LED headlights put out a lot of heat and have melted some housings.

one of first things i did was upgrade to LEDs.....mine worked out perfect as far as cutoff.....i used a wall like dude above said and almost identical, haven't been flashed once in 6 months and my truck sits pretty high....

 

my neighbors business upgrades sprinter vans into fancy overlander type vehicles and he brought a brand new one home other day and even that had halogens......those are 50-80k though this one was probably closer to 50k......still cant believe halogen even exist anymore

Do you have a photo of these lights in brighter light turned off? Trying to decide between these or HID retrofit

I like the look of these pretty good! Spyder quality has come a long way since I had a set on my 2009 Silverado. 

 

I hate that GM went back to halogens on some T1 trims. Every K1 produced 2016+ had bixenon projectors - even the work trucks. Now someone who spends a lot of money on a Custom or Custom TB gets halogens? Bean counters at it again...

I think those look pretty good. Sort of have the 2500 style to them.  I'm glad to see aftermarket supplies jump on new opportunities.

I hope they are good. It wasn't exactly easy to replace them. LOL

I don't want to do it again anytime soon.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
