Not sure how much longer this will last... But for some reason theretrofitsource.com allows stacking coupons, and there's two 25% off coupons. A little over $700 out the door.

Sadly codes don’t offer discount. At least they didn’t show for me. Sure accepted but it was $0. [emoji45]

Dammit. My HID morimoto kit is in the fritz after a couple years. Really want those but can’t stomach $1300. Please let us know how they are - I haven’t seen many public reviews.

Ah, I think this only works for the Silverado lights. It was working as late as last night.

Actually, there’s a few other ones it works for, but I don’t think Sierra is one of them [emoji853] I’m not sure how much longer it will go, since they’ve been advertising as a Christmas promo.

I tried to post sooner, but there was something up with the site when I tried.

I have the same kit and have had issues over the years. The biggest (but not only) problem I have had is the relays in the wiring harness. They use cheap foreign relays which tend to go bad quickly. I replaced the cheap relays with Bosch 0332019103. It is a direct replacement and I haven't had issues with relays since.

 

They do have a 5 year warranty on parts and have replaced 1 ballast computer and both bulbs when 1 bulb went out.

I’m hoping these are more reliable than the normal kits. Since this is the whole assembly, and it feels decent in my hand, maybe it’ll last longer.

 

I’ve gotten them installed, and the output seems really good. It’s been snowing here, so they won’t be clean, but I’ll edit this post in a couple minutes with a picture.

I'm looking at getting some of these XB headlights also and wondered how one finds these promo codes? I wish I'd seen this weeks ago...

Just replace the ballast with the 35w hylux and all the problems go away.

 

the 45w one is different and not sure if it’s as reliable. Does not have built in error cancelers.

I bet they look like crap. No thanks to non oem headlight housings.
I think they look pretty good and actually would consider them.
Cost too much though.9058b66bcfa32588e1b98eff1859dc1b.jpg

I was on the retrofit source mailing list. That’s where I found the codes last time. Since I bought mine, I haven’t really been watching, but they often had them for 20% off or something. Not sure as of late.

You guys must be talking about the HID kits or something. I was talking about the full replacement headlights with 3 led modules. It replaces the whole housing, not just the bulbs.

Mine has led turn signals, no fast blink or errors. If there’s something else I should be looking for, I’m not aware of it.

My truck is a lot cleaner since the last picture I posted.

I have a siren red truck with the z71 package. So no chrome on the front. I bought the non chrome version that includes trim that can be painted to match the truck. I didn’t end up doing that. So I have the headlights with black unpainted trim on them on my truck. They look decent, but they’d probably look better if the paint matched. I’ll try to get some shots of the output tonight.

It’s freezing outside and I can’t seem to get away from the snow. I pulled the truck out of the garage to get some photos. Sorry they’re not the best. I won’t be going back out tonight. Does anyone have something specific they’d like to see?

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
