I searched the forum a bit and found that most people were going with lasfit a while back, is that still the case?

I saw a few others going with Amazon specials or oxilam as well.

What holds up the best with no hyperflash?

I was going to use Sylvania but they say that newer vehicles need to add a load kit to not hyperflash which I'm not interested in doing, plug and play only with a quality bulb is what I'm after.

I went with Lasfit on my last two Silverados for my reverse and plate lights. No issues at all and they are bright.

This is the first vehicle I've ever done this with and I've been very happy about going with lasfit.  Only situation I've had an issue with was one where I had read it would be an issue in the first place.  I was in heavy traffic, left turn lane to get onto the freeway.  On ramp was metered, and all 3 lanes were backed up.  It took 4 light cycles to get through the back and onto the freeway on ramp.  I had a police officer behind me, so I made sure to have my left turn signal the entire time.  After the 3rd light cycle by turn signal went into hyperflash mode.  I keep it on, though.  I got onto the freeway, down the HOV lane, other freeway, etc.  Next time I had to make a left turn, in that same trip, my left signal was back to normal flashing mode.  The resistor built into the light just needed to cool down a moment.  There doesn't appear to be any damage, and it has worked perfectly fine since.

 

I would recommend Lasfit to anybody.  And, I found them on Amazon.

What model/trim do you have? I ask because I went with lasfit on my 2020 elevation and I replaced the license plate and reverse lights with no issue, but when I did the front and rear blinkers, I had hyper flash even though the lights were advertised as being hyper flash free. Wasn't the case and I had to figure out a solution. (WAMS to the rescue there)

 

Then I traded into a 2021 RST and used the same lights on this truck, minus the rear blinker bulbs and had no hyper flash from the bulbs. The stock rear blinkers are LED already on the RST.

 

Just something to be aware of.

It's a '20 RST

I went ahead and ordered the whole package.

2020 Silverado Double Cab Custom, replaced my halogen bulbs for LED's. I am used to HIDs from previous vehicles, but these LEDs were much less of a hassle ( no fuses or relays to worry about ) Amazon.com : BEAMTECH. I am still using my dust cover with these on, I did check on the covers as well as the bulb after installation to make sure nothing went wrong and see how they are holding up. One year later best upgrade so far. 

 

A trick that helped me and something to keep in mind: remove the rubber seal from the halogen bulb ( mine was a redish ~ orange ) and install the rubber seal onto the new LED bulb ( my LED bulb came with a blue rubber seal so I removed it to install the halogen seal ) regardless of who you end up going with, check for water leaks but this should make your install much much smoother.

    • The whole story is false. The screw is there as a temporary fix to allow the pump to even turn on. When the nozzle is returned the pump shuts off.. At this point people are just being punked   https://youtu.be/1DtlaEuHXAA?si=06mrRmw9HLUwdeRk   https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CyRZdsaSc/ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DxV1Hyrqi/       SNOPES: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19HPYUnRik/
    • Follows the motif on the Sierra EV.  Satin finsh to the lower bumper area, painted above:   Elevation       Denali      
    • Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I do like it. I wonder if they'll bring back Smokey Quartz Metallic? 🤔 https://gmauthority.com/blog/2026/06/here-is-the-all-new-2027-gmc-sierra-1500/
    • Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.  
    • New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.
