factory LED headlight bulb replacement?

Interleukin6 · October 28, 2022

I think my 2022 LTD LT factory LED headlights seem to be a little dark, especially compared to prior my 2019 WT with aftermarket LED headlight bulbs. Is it possible to replace the factory LED headlight bulbs with aftermarket LED bulbs?

Nope

Theres not a bulb in the traditional sense. The LEDs are built into the headlight and cannot simply be changed like you’re used to with other vehicles or the Custom.

High Country has a MUCH better headlight. You could possibly change out the entire headlight assemblies to those from a high country but I don’t know for sure if that works.

Not a fan of the built-in LED. Going to be an expensive replacement when it goes out.

Me either. I have a 20' LT and from what I understand a single headlight cost around $1000, not including installation, whit has to be done by a "certified GM" installer.

yeah been a GM fan my whole life......went to Ram for brief stint and didnt care for them really, so now back to GM and truck feels so much better......BUT i will say the LED lights on the Ram were pretty awesome, that and their braking system was noticeably better......my 22 RST lights came angled a little low from factory so raising them up a hair helped, I noticed on long drive back from dealership the beam pattern was barely visible doing 85 mph in middle of the desert.....well see if it helps but on short lil drive i did, it seemed better and still not blinding oncoming traffic......

i did put LED in 2 of my HD trucks of the new gen model and lighting seemed a lil better maybe....

I wouldn't worry about the leds going bad. Not sure what the hour ratings are for these but most leds are 100,000 plus hours of run time. Even if you ran your headlights six hours a day everyday, you wouldn't have to replace them for almost 50 years.

I promise you the 2024 suck ass. They’re not any better. You’d think so but, nope. Any one find and way to replace the headlight or boost the wattages?

Welcome to the forum. No the only way I know of has been posted here. If possible replace with High Country H.I.D. lighting. Very very expensive!

Is that different than what my high country has now? I have a 24 high country. I’m sure it’s led not hid they fazed those out years ago. I haven’t found a single thing on the internet as to replacements for the current led panels or headlight that would be different on my truck. Send me a link if you know of something, I’d you don’t mind.. thanks

Sorry I did not know you had a High Country and also did not know High Countrys do not have H.I.D.s anymore.

Slpgmss · January 28, 2024

Well that’s not factual on my part, but I just meant hid in general was fazed out years ago and everyone went to led. You could usually tell if it was hid because it would kind of flicker on and brighten up. But yeah, anyways I have a high country and I can say it’s the least brightest led headlight I’ve had. I can’t find anything at all to replace it.

I don’t think you’re going to find anything. I’d start looking into auxiliary lighting if you think the headlights aren’t good enough.

I’m surprised you’re unhappy with the high country lights. I have a 22.5 HC and the headlights are great. As far as I know, nothing changed between 22.5 and 24 for the headlights.

I was very disappointed with the LED lights on the 21 RST I had previously.

Slpgmss · January 28, 2024

Yeah, I really don’t want anything auxiliary, but it maybe the option as of now. Yeah man, I figured most all vehicles had plenty bright enough led’s now days. I just sold my 22 tundra and that thing has awesome headlights. Reverse too. This Chevy so far has been dim all around. I swapped out the halogens in the rear for leds and it definitely made a world of difference. Wish there were a way to do that up front! Do you know if the lt or ltz headlights have replaceable bulbs, as opposed to the led panel in the h/c? I’m sure those would fit the h.c bolt for bolt.
