HID LED vs LED. Turn signals are also LED.

I purchased the Boostauto and will be adjusting my headlights when I replace my front bumper face due to a hot water heater in the fast lane just north of the GW bridge heading north to visit family. Oh well ****** happens but the fog lights do help out big time

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

I see that "HID LED" in the High Country, and in the Midnight Edition package for the  LT Trail Boss, but what is it, exactly?  The wider DRL light is easy to differentiate from the other thin DRLs as part of that light option group, but the HID LED headlights look like the LTZ lights.  What am I missing?  Are they actually brighter, or different at the reflectors, or both, or neither?

I've driven that bridge before. Anything like that happens and you have no choice but to hit it. Trucks can be repaired. Are you okay?

I have no idea. Sounds like you know more than me.

Thank you for asking we are all fine my wife in the passenger seat and daughter in back. It happens so very fast. Thank god Ed’s the truck is high enough that it just pushed the large cylindrical item out of the way and I drove around/through it. The truck is a beast and aside from the small dent no issue. I just purchased a painted replacement front bumper face off EBay awesome company came painted to match for $700 not too shabby. But back to the lights. I do believe I have the same as the high country and Midnight edition. It is the TB. LT with LED and dark bezels. Can anyone tell me exactly what I have?

If you have a TB LT without the midnight appearance package, then your in the same boat as me -- no HID with your LED.

The High Intensity LEDs are in a projector whereas the normal LED lights are in a reflector housing. 

 

That is why the higher trims with the High Intensity lights put out a wide beam with even lighting and a defined cutoff.

Having trouble finding any info for improving 2021 RST headlights. Absolutely HORRIBLE for our mountain driving with suicidal deer.  Drove truck for first time in dark last night and even with high beams the reach is so poor. Dealer adjusted levels after Bilstein's installed. Any suggestions where to search greatly appreciated.

I saw your other post.  Almost copy and paste in the other thread.  With that said, I completely disagree with what you said.  I've had my truck for a year, and do plenty of mountain driving at night.  I'm not talking hills like the Appalachians.  I'm talking the Intermountain Rockies.  I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the led headlights, and my previous vehicle had protector HIDs.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
