New OPT7 H11 LED Headlight Bulbs
Justin Nachazel posted a topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Hello Everyone, After spending some time on the forums looking at everyones headlight replacements I finally chose the OPT7 LED H11 Headlight Bulbs off Amazon.com for $100 and thought Id share my experience with it so its easier for someone else to find what they are looking for. Like most, the first thing I did when I wanted a swap was to scour the forum for everyones experience. I saw some reviews that were good and some that were bad. Some people wanted HID, LED, Morimotos, and so on. My main priorities were this: 1) I want it to be white 2) Needs to look good 3) I don't want to blind people 4) Needs to last awhile 5) I don't go off roading much so light throw isn't TOO important 6) Needs to be at least as good if not better than stock. 7) Needs to be budget conscious Thus, with those parameters I nixed projector retro fits. I narrowed it down to HID/ LED. After doing some research I found that due to light patterns and dispersement, the HID would most likely give me a scatter pattern where as the LED would give me closest to the stock cutoff while meeting my additional parameters. This all being said I didn't expect it to be a 1 1/2 hour install. The lights worked fine once you figure out the right way to connect it all. The hard part however is removing everything and fighting the tiny space behind the light. There are two ways to do it also so I could have just removed the lights but I didn't really know what tools Id need and I did it in a parking stall at my apartment complex so I just went with the tight space. Not going to lie, it was tough. The space is really hard to maneuver and that was the hardest part for sure. Having done it, I could cut my time in half for sure but Chevy definitely didn't make this easy. Ok so install was finally finished and the fruits of my labor realized. Initial thoughts on it: 1) Install was a pain in the butt. 2) The truck looks way better than stock, Chevy should have done this from the start. 3) The space behind the lights is a pittance. If you aren't nimble or have medium to small hands then don't even attempt it just take the lights off. 4) The LEDs only go in one way so that makes things easier. 5) Lights are for sure brighter than Stock but definitely not overpowering. (Will have night review later tonight) 6) The LEDs fit inside the light and the seal plugs just fine but it is tough. Additional thought, These LED have fans... if the fans are sealed inside of an airtight headlight... isn't it just circulating hot air? Any thoughts on this could be helpful. 7) The whole set up looks to be really good quality parts actually. 8) Light output coming tonight *ADDITION* 9) Light output at night is approx 100-150 feet. 10) I didn't expect to like them as much as I did. 11) The output is a great color and at least double the stock output. 12) Plug and play I didn't have to adjust the lights at all. 13) Cut off is the same as stock. *MY VEHICLE* 1) 2015 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Crew Cab 4x4 Tungsten Here is the EXACT link to the product I bought from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/OPT7-Headlight-Bulbs-Clear-Arc-Beam/dp/B00VNBDWPK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458508907&sr=8-1&keywords=OPT7+H11 ** When you plug in the "Does this fit your Vehicle" it will say that it doesn't. Trust me when I say that it does fit your vehicle. I don't think its been updated because I ordered them anyways and they worked perfectly fine** **UPDATE NIGHT PHOTOS ARE LISTED BELOW** Ok folks this wouldn't be much of a review if I didn't have some pictures for you! If you have any questions feel free to ask. I will be updating this post as it goes and if I have any issues with them at all, rest assured I will update this review with the issues noted. **UPDATE NIGHT PHOTOS ARE LISTED BELOW**

As my wife and I drove home one evening over the Thanksgiving Holiday we noticed how bad the headlights were in our 2004 GMC Sierra 2500HD. I had wanted to replace the whole headlight assembly. After some discussion, my wife talked me into just replacing just the bulbs first. After some research, I found that to be a much wiser option at this time. So, during the Christmas Holiday I purchased a set of these (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H4GFS8F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I received them after Christmas and installed them. They were not difficult to install at all and only took me less than 30 minutes total. As long as you orient them correctly, the display pattern will not blind oncoming drivers. They are much brighter and you can see much farther than the standard halogen bulbs. These particular ones come with a 3-year warranty. So far, I am pleased and like them very much. Since we do not drive this truck very often, they should last a long time. Only time will tell. So far, I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for a reasonably priced upgrade.
