Just picked up a 2022 Custom Refreshed a few days ago and looking to upgrade the headlights. Judging by the new design it looks like any aftermarket LED headlights for 19-21 wont fit the 2022. Other than swapping bulbs for LED's, is there any aftermarket lights available for the 2022 refreshed model?

Looking at the usual sources (Spyder, Anzo, Recon) I don't see any yet.  Bulb swapping would be the only option at the moment.

Don't do that unless it is halogen bulbs. LED's and HID's in a reflector housing just blind the crap out of everyone, regardless of what the bulb maker says or how hard they try to mimic a halogen pattern, they just can't. You get splotchy coverage and dangerous driving for others coming at you. Do it right with a replacement housing. 

 

There was a headlight test comparing the outputs of LED's versus halogen bulbs I read recently when shopping for my halogen replacements. The light meter actually read higher (not barely but like 20%+ higher) with upgraded halogen bulbs versus those bright LED's, not to mention coverage was better and cutoff was safer.

I got a reply from ANZO that they wont fit the refreshed models. Probbaly wont be until another 6 months or so until someone makes an aftermarket projector for the refreshed.

This is true! At this point I will more than likely just retrofit some LED projectors to the stock headlights. I want to make sure they are bright enough at night

So headlights are still not great on these new trucks?? 

The halogens are terrible! I also seen on Facebook groups that the new refreshed LED's are not as bright as the 19-21 models. The 19-221 models have 3 LED projectors and the refreshed only has 2. Not sure what they was thinking with that.

You'll have to replace the grill as well, but this is an option.

I actually like the 2022 Silverado refresh headlights better than the ones I had in my 2020 Silverado and 2021 GMC.

Headlights were one of the big reasons I got a high country. The headlights on my 21 RST sucked.

If the front end looks matter, I think the OP should have opted for the LT trim, with an aftermarket light kit running about 3k, the LT trim would have given you that and a bit more. As the saying goes.."You gotta pay if you want to play".

      OCI, not when but why?

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
