    2015 chevy LT2 headlights solution

    I didn't ask in this case but I really doubt they would flash to a pcm and/or bcm that wasn't intended for this car's vin. Besides, the headlight housings with HID ballasts would be over a grand just in themselves. So cost prohibitive plus if this was successful, something would need to be...

    2015 chevy LT2 headlights solution

    Hi I felt that PCM and BCM flashing wouldn't be a option due to necessary cooperation with a dealership that would be far happier just selling a new car that helping to improve an existing model. This modification essentially uses LTZ hardware and LED lights to clone the function and...

    2015 chevy LT2 headlights solution

    Hi Rather than reply to a thread I started earlier this year about the poor performance of the non LTZ 2014-2020 Impala, I chose to simply start a new thread regarding my solution. I researched the possibility of retrofitting this LT with LTZ housings which are native HID housings. However...

    2015 Impala upgrade

    "kit" means HID housings for a LTZ and and their bulbs and means to trigger the ballasts. these hir bulbs are a stopgap at best. if i cant retro a LTZ system into this car then unfortunately i will have to trade it for a LTZ.

    2015 Impala upgrade

    Hi The Toshiba bulbs are delivered and installed. Its a nice upgrade over the 9005s. I will now have to decide if the need of a HID upgrade using HID Housings and a "kit" are even needed now.

    2015 Impala upgrade

    Hi The NOS Toshiba bulbs should be delivered in a few days so we will see what they can do. The driver's side housing is pristine but the passenger side will need replacement due to lens degradation. I will order one tonight with hope for next weekend delivery. As you said, if this doesn't...

    2015 Impala upgrade

    Hi I have a 2015 Impala 2LT while nicely equipped has the halogen headlights. Some Impalas were manufactured with 9005 although most sources list 9012 bulbs. I just ordered a pair of old school Toshiba 9011s off the net. However if this doesn't improve things enough, I am thinking of...

    DRL with my JWS 8910 lamps

    Hi Can my JWS 8910 lamps use the GM DRL feature in my 97 Tahoe? I suppose the question perhaps should be clarified by asking directly if the lamps could be damaged by using the low voltage stock DRL module/circuit? I currently have the DRL module disconnected. I know that the lamps have a...

    GMT800 Z71 Tahoe lighting upgrades

    Hi I didn't know that about the GMT800. It seems then that for now, only the GMT400s have a good upgrade path to LEDs using your advice to me regarding the work truck nose and JW speaker lamps.

    GMT800 Z71 Tahoe lighting upgrades

    Hi Just a thought, How would the Vosler 9012 bulb be for his low beam ? I, based on older threads here and else where ordered a set and installed them into my 2014 Impala to good results.

    thanks for great advice re: LED headlights

    Hi I did. As i said, night and day. Now this 22 year old truck has much better lights than my 2 year old Impala with projector 9012s. Ouch

    thanks for great advice re: LED headlights

    Hi As some may recall, I have a 1997 Chevy Tahoe two door near mint that was originally built with the "upgrade" composite head lamps. As can be imagined , performance was miserable and even with new housings, the truck has awful at night. I was advised to consider a work truck nose using the...

    Hi I have finally decided to convert my 97 GMT400 Tahoe to a sealed beam worktruck nose. I have all the necessary hardware located except for a 9005/9006 pigtail to 3 pin the sealed beam replacements use. Is there such a harness for the conversion? It was recommended to consider JD Speaker...

    bulb options for 97 Tahoe

    Hi Thanks for the prompt response. The slimline aero fixture was actually installed on models upgraded from base. I suppose a sealed beam grill and the fixture itself may be available although as replacement parts. I doubt GM still offers these parts so quality may be suspect. Assuming I...
