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]

Passenger side RH  : 84621853
 
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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
