I know theres a few members with them installed. They look pretty sweet. The chevy ones I don't like personally. Look into the light bar threads as I think there are some there. I can't name names off the top of my head though.

Anyone have any experience with these? They must be pretty new because I can only find 1 review, it's good but other than that no good or bad on the interwebs... This would be '14 Sierra w/out DRL's.

 

Spyder - let me know if the link doesn't work...

I have them. They look great, but there isn't much of a light-output upgrade compared to stock. The bulbs that come with them are terrible. First I tried some PIAA xtreme white plus halogen bulbs, and they weren't much better. Then I went with some putco nite-lux LED bulbs and now I'm satisfied. The low is H7, and the high is H11.

Thanks Josh! They look awesome on your truck, maybe not quite as sweet as that bumper but I like'em. I threw HID's in my stock headlights, do you see any issue with bringing the HID's over to these headlights? Also what's with Hologen reflector light? What does that do?

Thanks :)

 

I'm no expert in HID lighting, sorry. I'd ask the manufacturer; Spyder Auto. I don't think there'd be an issue, but I'd check with them to be certain.

 

These headlights have independent low and high beams, unlike the OEM Sierra lights. So I think the reflector you're referring to is the high beam.

 

Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask :)

I didn't pay retail so I'm uncertain how much they actually sell for. However, you do want to make sure that you get the right one.

 

5080523 is for the non-LED version Sierra (SLE, and base)

5080851 is for the LED version Sierra (Denali, SLT, and all terrain)

 

Just pick which number is for your truck and put it into google for pricing. Whatever the lowest price you find, copy the link and send it to AutoAnything on live chat; they'll beat the lowest advertised price every time. I do not work for them or any auto part retailer, just sharing my experience.

josh, im getting the spyder lights similar to yours but I have a 2014 Silverado. I was wondering how much you like the LED lights you installed. the spyder lights are coming with the piaa extreme lights and I seen where you didn't like them. Im just wanting some feed back thanks, nick

Hi, I find the Putco Nite-Lux to be great in these headlights. I was very unhappy with the PIAA's in these headlights.

 

As a side note, I had the xenondepot LED's in my OEM headlights and it was only marginally better than the Volsa's. Comparing them all side by side against the Putco LED's in these new headlights, the Putco's would be a clear winner. I have a nice clear view and a sharp cutoff that makes aiming very easy.
