Headlight Illumination Issues

[Jackseric]

How do you find out the build date of your truck? In the Dodge world we used to request something called a Build Sheet from the dealer, but I've not seen anything of that mentioned here. Is that the only way?

I emailed the TSB # to my local service manager and he said he hadn't seen that yet but was going to forward to the shop foreman and see. Said he would get back with me today.

 

Thanks for everyones help and info on this....This site rocks!

Does the bulletin apply to Chevy Silverados?

Does the bulletin apply to Chevy Silverados?

 

If you look at the screenshots of the TSB a page back, you will clearly see it only applies to Sierras, as they use the single bulb projector headlight assemblies.

Got mine done this afternoon. Took it in at 1:15 and was done by 1:50. New bulbs, BCM Flash and re-alignment. Won't know if they are any better until later or tomorrow night. Pretty bad weather here now. I might be in for the night.

Got my email from the engineer and GM executive offices, bulbs where shipped to my dealer today. Will take it in next week to the BCM update and HVAC update and report back then.

The service manager thought I had no clue what I was talking about when I called him earlier. Once I sent him the bulletin posted above, he was shocked that he found out about it from me lol. Thanks so much to everyone for your work on this. He ordering parts in the morning he said.

These are the actual Vosla bulbs and AC Delco / GM Part numbers installed in my truck today at my service department.

We had a big arctic front blow through here last night and everything cleared out today. Big blue sky, but windy and cold as ****. So, tonight I should be able to check the upgrade out and be able to take my comparison photo with the TSB update ........

 

[Ranch55]

Does the bulletin apply to Chevy Silverados?

 

NO, this technical service bulletin does NOT apply to Chevrolets. This upgrade applies to GMC Sierra's only ....

No pictures yet? Mine go in tomorrow...

On the way. Just got back to the ranch and working on uploading photos. I'm not very tech savy so it takes me longer .............

[Ranch55]

These are my before and after photos ...... I do not believe the upgrade is as bright as my 2005 GMC, BUT it is much, much better. I can now see the shoulders of the highway and I can see much farther down the highway. I do believe the lighting is AT LEAST 30% better, but probably much more.

I think I am willing to drive my new truck in the dark now. I can even see the dark ranch road to turn into the ranch now, whereas before I could not.

The first two photos are the before photos. The next two are the after TSB photos.

And the last one photo is the OEM headlights with Sylvannia Silverstar Ultra bulbs on my 2005 GMC 2500 HD.
