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 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.

Got it just LED NO HID for the TB LT that is some stupid ******. GM ought to be ashamed of itself. Thank you for letting me know. I will not be buying High Country lights I will live with what I have till my Tesla pick up arrives, lol.

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.

Added HID LED High Country lights to mine . She’s bright .  Next fog lights and then it’s all finished up

The High Country headlights were plug and play? No extra harnesses needed? Im about to pull the trigger, these led's in my LT are trash

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.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
