Does anyone know what headlight bulbs the new Silverado's take....the Custom front end with halogen lights.

 

I'd like to get some halogens that are a little more white colored than the stock yellow and I am having no luck finding out the bulb numbers.....I looked in the manual over and over well as online and found nothing.

 

Thanks for any help!

 

On a side note, I did finally get my chrome letters put on the grill!😃

Doesn't it say in the manual?

 

Kudos for not throwing in some LED/HID's and blinding everyone. I just put in some Philips in my 2014 with the reflector housings and it is a nice upgrade. Unfortunately brighter halogens do last shorter but they out perform the LED crowd as they can't get the right patter or focus since the bulb was not at all designed for the housing. There are some good tests out there that show how much brighter a proper upgraded halogen is in a reflector housing than an LED and the coverage is better as well.

 

BTW, nice choice in the regular cab and that blue, fantastic combo.

I have looked at every spot in the manual and all it says (where it should say the type) is contact the dealer....even searched the manual as a PDF and didn't see it listed.

 

I have read where some people say the hotter LED's can melt the plastic lens on the headlights too, not sure if that is true or not....but I saw it a few places.

 

I actually like that it's not LED, since they are so expensive to replace if it does burn out.....I will look at those Philips!

 

Thanks for the compliment too, so glad the regular cab short bed is back again....the blue was the icing on the cake 😃

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
