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".

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      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.
