LED headlight success?

[BlaineBug]

When I click on that link I see the following which makes me apprehensive because the HIDs and LEDs are new to me and there are so many varying opinions on retrofitting.

If you are upgrading to HIDs then there is retrofitting involved as they require a ballast. But if you are switching from halogen to LED they should be plug-and-play, no modifications necessary. Check out Lasfit, they are affordable as an entry product and should give you a good idea if you want to keep LEDS or possibly get something even better in the future.

Also Lasfit ARE sufficiently bright, as I tried another cheap brand that was dimmer which I returned before I gave Lasfit a try!

I also have Lasfit bulbs in my reverse lights, I forgot to mention, which are TREMENDOUSLY bright in comparison to the factory halogen bulbs.

On my Yukon the only light bulbs that can be removed and replaced are high beam, low beam, fog, reverse lights, and license plate lights. Everything else is factory non-replaceable LED from the factory.

I think I’m gonna go with the Hikari Titanovas. Newest version, good reviews, reasonable price.

Blaine Bug, i have read that putting and LED in place of the halogen bulb isnt to bright? I tried in 2019 and the light was terrible. I have been using HID but dont find the lighting is that bright. I know LED have come along way, but it seems you have luck with LED?

Depends on the brand I suppose. Some will be crappy others will be great. I like my Lasfit lights, they are brighter than the OEM halogen bulbs all around, no doubt about that and I am not sponsored to say as such.

I got an inexpensive set of bright LEDs from Amazon along with led blinkers. No issues. Very happy with them

I wanted to get a set of LED headlights for my Tahoe but I’ve heard so many stories about them throwing Check Engine lights. Anyone have any success with a particular brand that didn’t cause a check engine light?

I just installed some Sealight H11s and my check engine light is on... Now to figure out the issue.

Find out the code and let us know. I didn't think the CEL illuminated for bulb issues.

Check that connection (MAF) on the passenger side air tube is tight/connected and air box is nice and tight.

It's raining pretty good right now, so I'll probably swing by auto zone or advance auto tomorrow to see if they can tell me. I did double check to ensure that the MAF and air box are both tight. Hopefully it's just being funky bc I disconnected it.
