My ‘18 LTZ headlights were amazing.  The headlights in my ‘21 RST are average at best.  

I think just the opposite ....my 18 sucked, the 20 has better lighting.  

 

LEDs are picked up differently by the eye ...and it's said that they do dim after a while.  I dunno.

I've never realized so many people have night blindness.

I've noticed the same on my truck. The low beams are nice but the high beams are garbage. I don't know if there's a good solution for these trucks yet.

To make any changes you will have to swap out headlights completely for something aftermarket.  The low/high beams are not serviceable as they are LED.  No bulbs.   Only thing really on the

GMC Is the same.  My AT4 blinds people, but light output just dosent have much umph.    They are always flashing me because i dont realize my high beams are on.  It looses intensity the furthur away you get.  Its like some cheap harbor freight led light.  You stare at if and go blind.  But the output is poor..

I think this is a great description. My lights are really bright where they put light. Trouble is they don't throw light very far or wide, even in high beams. I think I've seen somewhere on the Forum you an get a harness that keeps the fog lights on while the highbeams are on. I may try that.

Boostautoparts.com has a kit that turns all lights on when on bright. It keeps the dim and fog bulbs on while on bright.

They are fine around town.  And yes, better in some way then my older trucks.  But when my high beams go on, I want things to get brighter.  Not just aim my beam a little higher. And that what I feel happens.  High beams just go a little higher.  They do not add anything to the width of the light.

 

I am going to find a shop and fabricate a light bar for my truck. Because when I am on a back road or open highway.  I want to see every inch of the road.  Especially in the rain.

Might be a dumb question but did you have to change out the whole headlight assembly or were you able to change the bulbs. I have a 21 TB and cannot find any dust cover for the bulbs. Neither can my brother who is a mechanic.

If I said this there'd be people questioning it, but probably with good reason [emoji38]

That’s the fully assembled  headlight assembly including  lights  part numbers that comes installed on the high country’s from the factory.   I bought them new straight from GM.  The 19-21 is all same part number.

So our only option, short of a big dumb light bar, is getting the $800+ High Country lights? What is the difference in the High Country and our lower line LT and RST lights?
HID LED vs LED. Turn signals are also LED.

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
