HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit

[Perseus]

I search this thread and maybe I missed the answer or maybe it wasn't brought up however I have stock halogen housings and while I'm not too keen on cutting up my set for a retrofit I looked into aftermarket. Anyone swapped with an O.E. style aftermarket housing?? I'm digging these smoked ones however wont bother if anyone has tried and had a bad experience http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-CHEVY-SILVERADO-14-16-PROJECTOR-CRYSTAL-SMOKED-HOUSING-AMBER-LENS-HEADLIGHTS-/391209105972?hash=item5b15e13a34:g:1uMAAOSw~gRVsvlO&vxp=mtr

Good morning all.

 

I've installed Morimoto 55 watt Hid's into my Sierra stock housings. All is good except during the day of the lights turn on (automatic) the left side does not turn on. If I turn them off and back on again manually it turns on. Never happens at night, only during the day.

 

I've checked all of the wiring and fittings, all is good there.

 

Any thoughts?

Man been a while since I've been to the forums. Having a problem with my HID's again.. Intermittently the passenger side will not come on immediately, I have to turn them off and on a couple times to get it to come on. It did it about a month ago and I swapped the ballast to see if the problem would follow and no luck. I moved some wires around and chocked it up to a pinched wire. Well now the problem is back. I'm displaced right now too with all the flooding in Texas so I don't have a lot of time to take it apart and look at it. Just seeing if anyone else had a similar experience..

Check the connection from the relay harness to the ballast input. Sometimes it gets corroded or the pins back out of the socket.

Anyone go from factory standard lights like on my Silverado LT Z71 to Projection or put the mean looking 2015/16 headlamp assy in a 2014. Looks like they will fit with the factory hood. I can be reached directly at [email protected]

The LTZ projector headlights will work. 2016 headlamps probably not.

Did you connect your capacitor link? Check the ground connection on it too.

Dumb question. I purchase a HID kit and currently waiting to install as I need a relay kit that was not sent with my kit. I am wondering why the difference in single and dual relay kits. Which one do I need for my vehicle? I see the morimoto kits are all dual relay but there are other kits that are single. Advantages/Disadvantages to the different ones. Thanks.

Decided to create a new section on our website to help save people some money. It's called the bargain center. In there (at the moment) we have some group buys setup for the FXR kits for 2014/15 Chevy and Sierra. Essentially it will yield you about a 20% savings or right around $65. All you need to do is make a group buy purchase (in full, not a deposit). Once 10 buyers have purchased the group buy will be complete and start over. If you purchase you need to be mindful that your discount is due to the group buy discount. Until the group buy is complete nothing ships. A group buy may take a few days to a month to complete. If you are in a hurry this is not for you unless you and some buddies can rally and all head over to the site and make your purchases. In the unlikely event that you have been waiting a month we will email you and give you the option to receive a refund.

We are hoping that this new offering will help save folks money. If you look at the stock status you can see how many more purchases need to be made till the group buy is complete. These numbers will be updated twice a day. Here is the link

I have LT headlights and want the mh1 7.0's. How much cutting is necessary to mount them if any? Thanks.

None really. Get a small shroud like a mini gatling. The bulb socket will need to be rounded out so the projector threaded end can fit through.

Just wanted to say thank you to FastWS6TA for his recommendation on fog lamps. Got the lights fast and had great communication with him and his coworker.

Swapped out my HIR bulbs for some HID's today. 55w 6000k. Nice and bright now. Please note I am on a hill thus why you cannot see the cut off lines on the light in the first picture.
Low beam

High Beams

Backed in my driveway with the lows and fogs on (pretty good cut off line)

HIDs in the fogs too? If so, what brand and wattage kit?

[mjdxtreme]

No I am running cheaper leds in the fogs just for a similar color temp look. Did not want to go hid in the fogs due to the risk of melting the housing. Fogs only put out light right in front of the bumper not really much usable light output.

 

Here is a pic with the fogs off so you can compare the light output

I was wondering if anyone has installed the morimoto xb led for the high beams on the Silverado? If so how hard was the install?

[alconk]

Mann this is so confusing.. I have the standard headlights in my Silverado and bought a set of Winjet projectors with the LED light tubes and really liked them but it wouldn't throw the light out far enough and that's with comparing LED to HID and actually the standard bulb threw the light out the farthest??? Night lighting is very important to me so I'm very interested in this thread but after reading the first 75 pages I just skipped to the end. Forgive me. So basically what I gotten out of this is you have to buy projector headlights then convert them? And is that aftermarket headlights or GM? I would really like to convert my standard headlights but looks like it not to many people have. Please educate me and where I need to go to buy the parts.
