So after running these lights for about 5 months I started to have flickering and dimming of the headlights. I have now switched to the lasfit headlights with much better performance and life span. Many others have had failures with the oxilam bulbs anywhere between 2 and 6 months. So here is a link for the lasfit set and they also offer many different tiers of bulbs as well. amzn.to/3UlJlJQ
@joenagele6282 well they do. It's a bulb type. If it's the same type as what the vehicle requires then of course it will work. It's bc not every China brand updates every year with what vehicles have what bulbs.
Tonight my brother and i are going to put LED headlights in our nephew's new 2024 Colorado. Your video has great info. I also wanted to comment on the flickering which I had on my 2023 Silverado and went to Canadian Tire (car parts in Canada) and bought the IGNITE anti flicker devices for 23 bucks and all my flickering problems went away and they have been working fine for over a year. The lights I used were GT MOTO H11. Maybe this will help some folks whoa re having flickering with their LED headlamps.
I've been running auxito 9005 and H11 in my 2016 traverse for 3 years and no trouble with them. I like both lasfit and auxito but auxito is little easier on the pockets.
Ordered, received and installed. Excellent video and perfect fitment. Thanks for this, whole video made the install seamless. Huge upgrade for the headlights, recommend all day.
Thank you for the videos. Just finished the lights on my Trail Boss. Would just like to tell everyone that it's not a bad idea to wear a long sleeve shirt when you are reaching up in the fender wells. I swear to god they use old saw blades on the inner fenders. Everything in there is sharp.
Totally right there with you in the thought process. They should already have this, but the only people that can boast about that is the GMC Canyon owners.
I just did mine. Haven't been out at night yet, but the way they light up buildings when I park in the daylight leads me to believe they'll be pretty bright. Also the car looks so much better than before. It was about time since one of my bulbs was about 9 years old and the other was the original from 2009.
Had LED headlamps on my 2019 Equinox and do miss them on my 2023 Colorado WT. You've got me thinking about doing this conversion. Love the no drill hood struts. Went a step further and removed the prop rod.
Hey Tony, Thank you for these video’s as an owner of a 23 Colorado Trail Boss, I really enjoy these videos, practically following along and making the same mods on my own. I think another viewer mentioned this but I noticed that the auto start-stop on the truck which comes standard (can’t get it without it) makes these lights flicker when I’m at a stop, etc. Pretty sure people think I’m flashing them at night. I’m trying to train myself to remember to disable the auto-stop/start (flip the switch) when i get in the vehicle bus was curious if there was a way around this. I’ll deal with it because the LED vs Halogen is unreal but thought I’d ask?
Ya it's kind of annoying I feel the same way and I try to remember to shut the auto start off as well but always for get. In order to resolve it you would need to install capacitors in line with the light to hold a little power in the lights when the engine is starting
I've tried to install the high beams and twice Ive broken the bulb cause it just will not lock in.Goes in crooked every time.Ordered another pair see how it goes.
@vlldavid you have to make sure the tabs are lined up correctly. Each tab is a specific size so it only allows it to drop in straight, one way. There should be 0 resistance when putting the bulb in the housing. Then a little pressure to turn the bulb. Nothing should be forced or at an angle. Try rotating the bulb more before turning it. You probably have the wrong tabs lined up
Lasfit Makes a replacement for every bulb on the Colorado I did all the non Leds on my 2023 Z71 Flashers, brake, reverse, license plate, Cargo light and even interior lights all work great. Direct replacement
Some people have had that issue. Are you getting it to turn and not pop off or can you not get it to turn? If it turns then try to pop it off with a small screwdriver. If it isn't turning try using a larger pair of pliers to turn the cap first. Hopefully that helps
Hey Tony, Great Video I used this back in Oct 23. Thought I would Ask if you have Had a Problem with Oxilam Low Beam Bulbs H11..I have already to replace one on My TrailBoss
Ya after about 5 months I ran into failure and switched to lasfit. I pinned a comment explaining my experience and also uploaded a new video with new lights installed
Thank you. Anytime my actual headlights are on then the white lights are on. When it's bright out and just the daytime running lights are on then only the low beams are on. If that makes sense.
Tony I added the same headlights and blinkers that you did. I did it the 1st weekend I owned the new Trail Boss. After doing so I noticed my blind spot detectors coming on all the time with nobody around and also the headlights are on all the time, even while the Auto button is on. I think during the daylight they should turn off and the running lights come on. But that does not happen for me. I took the truck to the dealer and they blamed the LED's. So I put the cheap halogens back in ( I kept them) and I still had the same problems. I don't know if the blind spot detection is related but maybe it is. So then I took it back to the dealer and they had to order some kind of new module. I have been waiting for that for 2 weeks now. The GM strike is causing delays. But I was wondering if you have had any issues like that.
My headlights do stay on unless I switch them to the off position but I don't mind that. But I haven't had any issues with my blind spot detectors, I would have probably done the same thing in your shoes. I hope you get it figured out. Keep me updated
It just circulates the air in the headlight. Unfortunately overheating is the number one thing that destroys leds. And while some of these lights are designed with good cooling fans some are also very poorly designed. Alot of people are actually having issues with the oxilam bulbs and I'm switching the the lasfit headlights as well. Just a better quality light. I'll have a video on them coming soon
Awesome vid! Looking to do the same to mine. Has anyone found and aftermarket housings yet? Headlights and taillights. Haven’t been successful so far. A black housing for the headlights would look very sleek.
Hey Tony I was able to take the cover off on the housing to get to the low beam bulb. For some reason though I’m having trouble loosening the bulb itself. Is there a trick to it? You just have to turn it to the left correct?
I put these in and every morning I get 5 to 10 people flash me thinking my high beams are on. I did not adjust them. Should I lower them? They are still at the stock hight.
Any luck removing the headlight to install the Faslight T10-A for the Front Side Marker Lights? I’m assuming the only way to replace those is by removing the headlight all together
Hey Tony,my dust cap for low beam seems very hard to come off. I’m not sure if i’m just too weak or what. Any suggestions? Great video by the way i manage to change the highbeams with LED instead of paying $250+ a pair to install lol
Very nice and ya sometimes they can be tight. Are you able to turn it and just not get it off or can you not get it to turn. If you can't turn it I suggest a big pair of pliers where you can put the jaws on opposing sides of the cap and twist it that way. Sorry hard to explain without showing it. If you can turn it but not get it off you could use a small flat head along the edge and pop it off
Tony, very good video, just picked up mine and first thing I did was upgrade the lights with the same ones you used. Problem is with the Lasfit. Their site says use 7443ck which I did, did not work, called was told that is the correct bulb and may be defective. Got a new pair with the same results. Your video shows you using a T-7443D? I am ready to try those now. What do you think? K
Ya the ck is not correct for the new year. Someone showed me these ones about a month ago and decided to try them. The non ck seems to work fine for me. A couple of people have had an issue of the white lights not working but the orange does. If anything you could just go with the standard amber non switchback.
Thanks Tony. What lasfit part number did you finally go with and does it work with both amber and white? If it is still working for you I will purchase them. This will be #3 pair. Thanks for all you do for us.
Hey Tony, I saw a similar comment about doing the rear lights as well. I was wondering if you know the bulb sizes associated for all the rear lights, including the third brake light? Also, any intentions on swapping the interior bulbs at all? If you know the sizes, I’d love to test some bulbs for the rear and let you know if anything I find works out!
I can't remember the brake lights and rear blinkers i think 7443 but im not positive. Reverse are t15 and interior are t10 or 194. I have already swapped those and will have a video soon. I also just swapped the entire 3rd Brake Light assembly for an led smoked version.
@@TonyTheTechnician Appreciate the reply Tony! I can confirm the fitments below: Rear brake: 7443 / 7440 Rear turn signal: 7443 / 7440 (have not found LEDs that don't hyperflash yet) Reverse lights: 921 / 912 Third brake light: 921 / 912 Third brake light (cargo lamps): 921 / 912 Interior dome/map lights: T10 / 194 (careful with lights in rear of cab, stiff getting out and very prone to shattering if you use pliers) I'll try a couple more bulbs for the rear turn signals with built in resistors but I'm thinking a hard wire resistor will more than likely be needed in the end.
@@TonyTheTechnicianHey Tony! Thanks for the video! Just ordered the headlights. Anyway you could tell me which 3rd brake light assembly you got and what it looks like? Love the videos!
Installed my turn signals, but they don’t work either direction they’re plugged in. One direction they give a faint flicker right when plugging in then nothing. Thoughts?
I just installed the blinker bulbs T 7443D. Blinker are really bright amber! But the white lights never come on? Please help Tony! Amazing video and making installation so simple! I have a 2023 colorado z71.
So far what I've noticed when the lights are on auto and the lights are off then the white doesn't light up. But when I turn the lights on the white then turns on. I have messaged lasfit about them to see what's up.
@@TonyTheTechnicianI tried everything but no luck! On/off. Auto. The blinkers work and look amazing but white lights never came on! Thanks for replying back! 🙏
@@TonyTheTechnician I returned the original lights I bought on Amazon and purchased the lights straight from lasfit! Still no luck on my 2023 z71! Ambers are great! Whites never turn on!
You can't use switchbacks on the Z71 they have DRL headlights. The signal lights only work as signals. Lasfit makes a Amber LED for the signals of the Z71
Did you use the standard socket on the turn signals or the CK socket? Lasfit doesn’t list the 2023 Colorado yet. They recommend the CK on the 22 and older models.
Question. I’ll eventually switch my low beams to LED. But besides that. I want to add switchback lights on it first. But is it possible that I can make my inner amber lights my daytime running lights adding the switchback? I basically want my inner amber lights to be on during day and they automatically switch when the sun sets.
The inner lights will only be on if you manually switch your lights to be on all the time. If it's in auto and the sun is out then they will not be on. They will only blink.
love lasfit had them on my lemon of a 22 , but with the z71 they are all led on the outside but the inside is crappy old lights. but i can not see how to get the bulbs out for the cab lights .
another question . lastfit sent me another set of switchbacks becasue the ones i got the 22 do not work . and i have no daylight whites only see the turning. do you see them with the white running lights or only the orange? let me know so i can send them a responce@@TonyTheTechnician
Yes leds will do that bc they turn on and off alot faster then halogen. Some vehicles are worse then others. These weren't designed for leds so this is common. Only way to remedy would be to install like a capacitor in line to hold some voltage in the light during restart.
No they dont, I added them back in may and they have the same light pattern as the stock bulbs so they are the same just a nice clean white light and the auto high beam still works the same
got these headlights because of your video and the left one just went out/very dim. i see you recommended lasfit but the link doesn’t work anymore. do you have the link or other LEDs i should use?
Ya they were good until almost everyone started having issues with them. I think it's do to poor cooling causing the leds to overheat and malfunction. www.lasfit.com/pages/product-result?rq=mk_chevrolet~md_colorado~yr_2023~na_led-bulbs~zq_wt-lt-trail-boss
Great video my friend! I just replaced the low and high bulbs but now the lights don’t come ON on auto mode nor when I unlock the truck with my fog key and even on the ON mode they don’t turn ON, the only way to make it works is selecting the last icon on the light section inside the infotainment 😢😢 do you have any solution?
@@TonyTheTechnician Somehow the problem fixed itself, approximately two hours later I turned the truck back on and the lights were working properly, thanks again
I tried clicking the link you provided in the description for the Oxilam LED Headlights, but it seems to be a dead link. I tried finding the exact ones that you used using amazon and their website but just to be on the safe side, do you think you could provide a working link to the ones you used specifically?
Oxilam at the time had already been used at the time. So I knew they would fit. Where as the lasfit had a bigger housing and I wasn't sure if it would fit
I pulled out my blinker bulb to upgrade to the lastfit switchback and the connection is totally different than this video. My new ones don’t have the same connection. Did I do something wrong when removing old bulb?
@@TonyTheTechnician I think it might the because of the Canadian model, I've read in forums they use low beams as DRLs, was hoping there'd a way to turn em off. I just got LED installed and they're on all the time even during the day so. Nice tutorial btw, helped me a lot 👍
Do not buy these oxilam bulbs. Look at the lasfit brand. Many people including myself have started to have issues with these bulbs anywhere from 2 to 6 months of use.
This is what bothers me about manufacturers...they couldn't have added this straight from the factory for $100 bucks???or given us the option to upgrade to LED???
Yes the led bulb is fully in with the correct tabs alligned... the back of the fan housing on the LED contacts the recessed surface of the cap preventing tabs from locking.
Something isn't right. Either it's not fully locked in or you have wiring or something in the way. Nobody has had issues with the cap not going back on.
I just had the same issue. Last week my driver's side low beam started flickering. So I already have new lights on the way and will be doing an updated video

Anyone know if you can upgrade/swap the factory LEDs over to the trail boss? Or if any aftermarket companies are making replacements?

Ya after about 5 months I ran into failure and switched to lasfit. I pinned a comment explaining my experience and also uploaded a new video with new lights installed
Great videos! Any update on finding rear leds that work? I'm hesitant to pull out the rear assemblies until I can replace all the bulbs at once
Dope vids as always. At what time would the blinkers actually switch to white? Compared to the Z71 or ZR2 do Trailbosses use the blinkers DRLs?
Thank you. Anytime my actual headlights are on then the white lights are on. When it's bright out and just the daytime running lights are on then only the low beams are on. If that makes sense.
Just saw your Post about the Lasfit Headlights Replacement are they Low Profile like the Oxilam?
Not as low profile as the previous bulbs but have a much better cooling fan and they still fit just fine. I have an install video on my page
Tony, thanks for the video. Just to confirm the high and low beam bulbs have different connectors, right?
Yes indeed 👍
Does the auto beam headlight function still work with new led?
Niceee upgrade ! But idk why in amazon the bulbs shows as they wont fit on a chevy colorado 2023 ! Trying to upgrade mine

how do the low beams keep cool when there is a cap blocking the air? or am i over thinking it?
It just circulates the air in the headlight. Unfortunately overheating is the number one thing that destroys leds.

Yes indeed
Hey Tony I was able to take the cover off on the housing to get to the low beam bulb. For some reason though I’m having trouble loosening the bulb itself.
Is there a trick to it? You just have to turn it to the left correct?
Yes just turn to the left. Grab the connector area with your thumb and support the top with your pointer and turn.

Unless you install switchback lights then the inner lights will be your new DRL right?

Are the LED’s blinding to oncoming traffic?
After switching lights and doing a 2 inch lift, absolutely lol. But it is extremely easy to adjust the headlights. I did mine in about 2 minutes
Can you provide any tips to aiming the lights. I’m sure us TB owners would love a video on aiming these to help oncoming drivers.
I have a new video installing my new lasfit led headlights where I show how to adjust them
By changing builds to the LEDs
Does void warranty
Are the LED lights legal?
I drive a lot through different states .
I just did mine does your twitch after your auto drive kicks in
Yes leds will do that bc they turn on and off alot faster then halogen. Some vehicles are worse then others. These weren't designed for leds so this is common. Only way to remedy would be to install like a capacitor in line to hold some voltage in the light during restart.
How much pressure did you have to apply to the low beam housing to come loose? Mine seems excessively tight.
A decent amount but not ridiculously tight. It will turn about an inch then you have to pop the plastic cap off.
Same here, I just can't seem to get it to budge. Will have to try again later, not sure how I'll get it loose.
Do you have links for the bulbs installed?
Yes in the description of the video
Nice explanation. What is the cost?
Thanks. About 100 for all 6 bulbs
I was wondering do the lights blind other drivers sometimes LED lights are too bright
Most new vehicles have them,,,so are you blinded by them when you drive at night?
No they dont, I added them back in may and they have the same light pattern as the stock bulbs so they are the same just a nice clean white light and the auto high beam still works the same
Just curious any codes go off with these?? And yes god knows why the trail boss has no leds in 2023 🤦🏻♂️
No codes 👍
got these headlights because of your video and the left one just went out/very dim. i see you recommended lasfit but the link doesn’t work anymore. do you have the link or other LEDs i should use?
Ya they were good until almost everyone started having issues with them. I think it's do to poor cooling causing the leds to overheat and malfunction. www.lasfit.com/pages/product-result?rq=mk_chevrolet~md_colorado~yr_2023~na_led-bulbs~zq_wt-lt-trail-boss
Great video my friend! I just replaced the low and high bulbs but now the lights don’t come ON on auto mode nor when I unlock the truck with my fog key and even on the ON mode they don’t turn ON, the only way to make it works is selecting the last icon on the light section inside the infotainment 😢😢 do you have any solution?
No you may have something faulty in the lights or something. Nobody I know has had that issue.
@@TonyTheTechnician Somehow the problem fixed itself, approximately two hours later I turned the truck back on and the lights were working properly, thanks again
Do you have a new link to the led lights? The one you posted is broken.

I figured it out by searching the comments. Says it doesn’t fit but I’ll give it a try anyway!

I tried clicking the link you provided in the description for the Oxilam LED Headlights, but it seems to be a dead link. I tried finding the exact ones that you used using amazon and their website but just to be on the safe side, do you think you could provide a working link to the ones you used specifically?
Ya idk what is going on with the links it started happening yesterday amzn.to/47eBLE3
Installed the switchbacks and i dont have the daytime feature. Anyone know why that is? The blinker portion works but not the daytime.
watching how to do this... and i dont even have a colorado yet. Just incase on the off chance. ;)
Haha well I appreciate you watching. Hope you enjoyed
@@TonyTheTechnician it was good. Also watched the lift kit install.🤣 good stuff.
@@n0xxm3rcyxx haha nice!! Thank you
Why the oxilams over the lasfits for headlights?
Oxilam at the time had already been used at the time. So I knew they would fit. Where as the lasfit had a bigger housing and I wasn't sure if it would fit
What socket type is on the 2023 Colorado?
Did you end up doing the tail lights at all?
Not until a set is guaranteed to work. Right now many of the led bulbs do not work properly for the taillights
Trail lights next!
can you do the rear lights in led and let us see what looks like.
When they release one's that operate correctly
I pulled out my blinker bulb to upgrade to the lastfit switchback and the connection is totally different than this video. My new ones don’t have the same connection. Did I do something wrong when removing old bulb?
Do you already have leds? Is your truck a z71 this only works when you have halogen bulbs from the start
Is there a way to turn off the always on headlights? They're on during the day as well
Only by manually going in and shutting the lights off on your screen.
@TonyTheTechnician even then they don't turn off, still on while the gear is in drive
@0091dude hmm that is weird. Mine shut off. I'm not sure what is going on with yours
@@TonyTheTechnician I think it might the because of the Canadian model, I've read in forums they use low beams as DRLs, was hoping there'd a way to turn em off. I just got LED installed and they're on all the time even during the day so. Nice tutorial btw, helped me a lot 👍
Ohh ok I understand. Ya sorry I couldn't be of more help. Glad you got some good information from the video.
Can I use this on my 2024 Colorado trailboss
Do not buy these oxilam bulbs. Look at the lasfit brand. Many people including myself have started to have issues with these bulbs anywhere from 2 to 6 months of use.
How u leave the turn lights on ?
This is what bothers me about manufacturers...they couldn't have added this straight from the factory for $100 bucks???or given us the option to upgrade to LED???
Right! I would have gladly opted for that.
You use 9005 in h11
Went to Amazon to get the led light and it says they wont fit. I think they need to fix that
Dumb designs, but i love the Trail boss!!
Switchback function on the blinkers does not work on the 2023 ZR2
That's bc these are designed for vehicles without pre existing led lights.
Didn't know that because my blinkers are still halogen, still looks better now.
@foxarrow33 ya I guess it has something to do with the led strip in the headlight housing.
Congrats now you can blind tf out of other drivers
Congrats your wrong 👍 learn how to aim a headlight it's not hard. With some practice and research I'm sure you can manage 🤣👋
The listing of the LED Lights he has do not fit Chevy Colorado trail boss according to the Last fit company
That doesn't matter bc they do work
I CANNOT GET THE CAPS BACK ON...
Yes the led bulb is fully in with the correct tabs alligned... the back of the fan housing on the LED contacts the recessed surface of the cap preventing tabs from locking.
Something isn't right. Either it's not fully locked in or you have wiring or something in the way. Nobody has had issues with the cap not going back on.
Both of my low beams failed in 6 months. They are not worth it and are very much so, chinese quality bulbs
I just had the same issue. Last week my driver's side low beam started flickering. So I already have new lights on the way and will be doing an updated video
