hi guys

I upgraded my 01 Sierra Bumper lights with leds before about 6 months and want to share some pics of the progress with you GMC owners and fans.

first to know that I installed a clear signal lights shown in the picture (not crystal clear but like OEMs just without orange corner) . we know that inside the bumper light or signal light there are 3 bulbs . one bulb is for the day running light which I connected with the second bulb which is the signal light , third bulb is corner parking light .

Day Running light : changed to V-Leds Platinum 5K white 20 leds bulb. couldn't find it in vleds site maybe discontinued. but there are amber and 6K in their site.

Main Signal bulb : Changed to V-Leds 5K WHITE AMBER DUAL COLOR TYPE 2 CHANGING SWITCHBACK 92 TURN SIGNAL BULBS. you can find them here

Corner Parking light : Changed to V-Leds 5K WHITE 4 LED 2W HIGH POWER BULBS 194. you can find it here .
for the record , I put another 2W 5Ks as map light for the Sierra and My 97 Yukon I love the output very bright and durable.

this is a picture for the upgrade in the Sierra's Bumper light .

that's for the bumper light, Now let's see Roof lights .



They are also from V-leds as my best LED supplier as they provide high quality products .

Leds used in the roof : 5K WHITE 19 LED 8W HIGH POWER BULBS 917 918 920 921 922 923 579 . very bright and eye appealing at night and sunset time . you can find them here .

*Note : it won't fit in the housings unless you loosen the bulb base but it will not be a problem at all you won't notice it's even loosen inside tight yellow roof lights . and center 3 bulbs are connectet to 1 harness or get it soldered to 1 wire just like factory setup.

this picture is taken before doing center big light just to compare stock bulbs and those bright leds.

Isn't there an issue with the DRL's burning up quickly since they are on and off so often?

Looks great, BTW!

Thanx

There isn't any issuevor error with DRLs because they are leds and connected with other bulbs in the bumper light (signal light)

They never burned since installed back in oct 2012 until today and still blazing :naughty:
