Does anybody have any pictures of any 2007+ Silverados with projector headlights? While painting mine I messed up the housing and am looking for new lights now. I can fix it if I really have to but it would require stripping all the paint down and redoing, then sealing up the lights again.

 

I know there are several styles out there but I've never seen them actually installed. I've looked on Cardomain and at all of the ebay sellers' pictures, but all I've seen are just the lights.

 

I'd really appreciate any help since my front end is all disassembled now and I'm kind of stuck between the two options of repainting or replacing.

They look better than I thought they would but still they're not very good pics. Thank you though. If anybody else has some or has pics of somebody else's PLEASE post them up.

I just bought some CCFL halo lights with projectors off of ebay. I'll see how they look once I get them hopefully by the end of the week. These were the least rice ones I could find and I won't have to mess with another light to black them out. Any thoughts?

Eh you fell for them huh :( ... why do they put those dumb LED's inbetween the halos..I don't get it. Plus they have 6 really small LED's on the outsiide edge of the light too right? I saw other ones on ebay that didn't have the chrome ring around the halos..

 

Let us know about the quality of these, or if they're really cheap and feel light.

I did. But the choices were limited and I'm kind of in a pinch with them. To buy stock ones would be almost $100 dollars more, plus then I'd have to clear and paint them again, potentially risking another set. The others on ebay were even worse and the halos on these are of superior quality. I think they'll look better with the Silverstar signals. And yeah, I don't understand the damn LED's either. I'm afraid that one will burn out and look even worse.

I suppose as long as all the LED's light up a cool blue and not a dirty yellowish color then they might not look too too bad...you should return those and get these red, green, purple or yellow halo ring lights on ebay..hahahha

Yeah those different colored ones made me want to burn my eyes with a soldering iron... I looked at the other ones, but like you I wasn't crazy about the eyebrow thing and two off center LED's.

 

As for the stockers, here is a pic. I like them a lot but the paint needs to be redone and it would take more work than I'm willing to put forth right now.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
