Hey,

 

I'm about to get some HID's. So far I know the following:

 

Low Beam: H11

High: 9005/HB3

Fog: ???

 

Does anyone know what the bulb # is for the fogs in the NBS 07-08 trucks?

 

2008 Silverado.

 

( I tried searching, but failed )

 

THANKS

Check the link to the GMT900 Sierra fog upgrade in my sig. It's the same part number but you are going to run into the same problem we all have. If you are willing to spend a little time modifying your bulb bases like I did, this thread should help you.

Daddy has an excellent mod up there. If you don't want to mod your own lights, Putco has a product in the making to replace these unusual styled lights. There isn't an estimated release date yet, but HOPEFULLY it will be soon. Check it out:

There are 4 different colors for some options.

be careful doing this mod on a silverado. I did it and it started to melt my lens. Returned to factory for now.

That was the same problem one guy had on his Yukon. The housing is much smaller on the Silverado and Yukon. With the HID's, there shouldn't be a problem since they produce less heat. I can not guarantee that but I do believe this mod has been tried with HID's on a Yukon and everything remains fine. Check through my thread on this, it's in there somewhere.

Well, i've been reading and the PUTCO sounds good, but time will pass< I can afford to wait>

But if you guys think HID's would be better, then i have to jump on it now, there is a group buy going on in another forume and the HID's are 90$ plus 10$ shipping. so it's now or pay more later.

 

so the H11's are correct for the lows?

Aren't the HID bulbs bigger, wouldn't that cause fitment issues? Or is the bulb the same size? IF so i'll go for it and try this on my silverado. what color should i get? 3000K, 4300K, or 6000K , more concerned for heat issues, would they all run the same heat or which is safer to prevent lens burn? i know that guy put 6k on his yukon, if i'm not mistaken.

I just installed H11 HID Conversion kit in my NBS Denali. I went with a $90-$100 kit off ebay and LOVE them so far! I went with the 6000k color...just enough "blue" tint...but white enough to throw some serious light down on the road. I would highly recommend the 6000k's!

 

I found that the H11 HID bulbs fit just fine...pulled the factory H11's out and slipped the new HID's in with no uissues. I tipped / adjusted the lights about 3" lower as the HID's seemed a bit brighter and didn't want to tork off any on-coming drivers.

 

I haven't noticed any issues with "heat" from the HID's...haven't heard of any other people having issues either.

Okay, has anyone determined the correct bulb to replace the Fogs that is not an HID? I'd ike to replace he fogs with yellow bulbs but don't know the correct bulb number. I'm not interested in HIDs!

I recently installed the eBay $80/pair HID conversions (9005's & 880's) into my buddies 2006 Yukon Denali and so far, so good. The 6000K is perfect though, I'd have to agree. Have any pics you'd like to share with the class?

Long time no see. Putco has developed, or should I say is developing, a replacement bulb for the GMT900 trucks. They aren't out yet but you're in luck, one of the colors they are going to produce is yellow.

The correct replacement bulb # is a mystery! Even the parts guy at my local GM dealer laughed when I asked him what it was. I think his response was somehting to the effect of "That's a good question...are you sure you have a fog light in your truck? My computer doesn't even give a part # so it must not exist!". If I had the ability to reach through the phoen and slap him I would have!

 

When I had the boys at Advance Auto Parts try to figure it out...they scratched their heads too. I even had the bulb out of the truck and in hand when I waled in there. They looked at it and said something to the effect of "What the F&$% is that thing!"

 

We did determine that an #880 style bulb will fit the hole / opening prefectly...but the locking tabs won't work. So, I ended up just doing the SilverStar 9005xs fog conversion like shown in Daddy's post. That worked out REALLY well!

 

Sorry to ramble...the short answer is NO. No one seems to know what the part # is for those fog bulbs...not even the GM parts guys! What does GM feel it necessary to do soemthing so stupid as to screw with something as simple as a fog bulb!?

 

Sorry...not much help.

I haven't taken any pics of the new HID's yet...still quite a little snow on the ground here. But, the white ground REALLY accentuates the brightness of the bulbs. Maybe tonight I'll take my digital camera with me and see if I can snag some photos of them at night and post them tomorrow.

 

P.S. - I don't think I inserted your quote correctly!? How do you do that?

Yep, been pretty busy with the move and a new job and all, haven't had a chance to get on-line in quite a while! I'm in Atlanta now, I miss seing your truck in the parking garage! I've bookmarked the ink in your reply, any idea when they will be available?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
