Thanks for the video. It’s probably the best instructional I watched on led lights.
Great video and information, thank you!
That is a really cool upgrade, nice 👍😁
Those taillights look awesome, we're trying to replace our broken taillights on our Chevy Silverado too
Just know that you’ll likely lose cruise control when switching to an LED tail light on this body type GM truck. I didn’t find out until I did the lights. I do have a fix for it that I made a video on, though.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy Thanks for the info, I'll try and look for that video on your channel 👍
@@ChosenOne9387 It’s the most recent video besides the shorts. Should save you some time lol
Thanks for showing all the light functions. How are they holding up after 6+ months? Wish I could find a set that the C shaped light bar is the turn signal. Think it would look sharp that way.
Yeah that would look cool. They are holding up well so far, only issue is I lost cruise control. Found out after the fact that it’s a common problem on these trucks when switching to LED tail and 3rd brake lights. Gotta wire a resistor into each light for the cruise, even though the lights don’t hyperflash. Other than that all good so far.
these are good my only problem is that when i press the brake the passenger side brake light turns on but it’s much dimmer than the driver side so it looks bad
Are you sure it's not wired wrong and the passenger side is only making the tail circuit come on?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy no everything comes on but the brake light is just way dimmer than the driver side brake light (the little squares)
@@gerbungo3285 Dang that's annoying. Might be worth contacting where you got them for an exchange.
Did you have to force that small socket in? I cant get mine to go in far enough to twist and seal.
I can’t recall to be honest but carefully using a pair of pliers to push and twist may help you out, just don’t force it too much and break it lol.
So I got the same ones u have but for some reason my reverse lights stay on they don’t turn off I’m just not a professional and I don’t wanna touch with wiring especially if I don’t know yk
@@ramiro3534 If you didn’t have that issues before switching to these lights, then I’m guessing you just have something plugged in wrong like the reverse light is actually the tail light.
Why Mu truck doesnt have a 4 conection?
Is a gmc sierra 2500hd
2006
The Sierra's don't have the lower blinker bulb that the Chevy's do.
Hey i just put my led lights yesterday, and now one of my directional lights doesn’t work
Double check you have the bulb installed correctly and in the right position. If issue persists, plug the old tail light back in so you know if it's a truck issue or an issue with the new lights.
The dtr lights don’t work on mine and the customer service has been fight me for the past week I just want working tail lights
What’s a DTR?
Brake lights look good, that sound when shifting into reverse , not so much
Lmao! Driveway is like a damn 7% incline, so there's no getting away from that without a parking brake being set 😥
I’m having a problem with it blowing a fuse on driver side everytime I touch the brakes, passenger side works great
You have aftermarket lights?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes, got some Spyder tail lights for my 05 Silverado
Same ones that you got
@@outlaws6477 hmm. Well there’s a few possible causes I guess. Either there’s a short within the new tail light, or you have some wiring on the truck side that’s shorting out. I’d pop that 1 light back out and remove the bulb sockets to see if there’s and obviously pinched wires or anything, then follow the light harness into the truck bed and check around there too. If there’s no obvious issues, I’d pop the factory light back in and see if fuses are still blowing. If it stops, you know it’s the new light and not wiring.
How do you not loose cruise control?
I did 🤣 Found out after doing these. I’ll have to wire in some resistors I think.
What's the 4th small connector
2:08
anyone know why my reverse light doesn’t wanna work
If it worked before you changed the tail lights then you messed something up with either the reverse lights plugged in backwards or in terms of wiring. Otherwise I'd check fuses in the under hood fuse box and the fuse box on the end of the dash when you open the driver's door.
Did you by any chance loose you break lights ? My break lights only turn on when the truck is off
No that’s really weird that they would work with the brake lights only work with the truck off. Are they stuck on even with the headlights switch turned off, or are you saying they ONLY work when the truck is off?
@@TonyTheTruckGuythey work when the key is turned but when I start it up they flicker on then turn off
@@uliceshernandez7131 Is this something that just started? Did you install new tail lights?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy yea I just installed them yesterday they where working fine until I noticed only my 3rd break light was working
@@uliceshernandez7131 Double check fuse box under the hood and on the left end of the dash. I doubt it’s a fuse since the lights work with the ignition off but it’s worth a check. If you don’t find any issue there, then I’d pull your new lights out and see if maybe you have some wires crossed or something. If no obvious issues are found, plug old tail lights back in and see if issue persists. If the issue persists with old lights then you know it’s something on the truck side like possible ignition switch or body controller - whatever controls the brake lights.
Do you know why? When I turn on the blinker they work, but when I hit the brakes it doesn’t
Did you just install new tail lights like me?
@@TonyTheTruckGuyexactly like you
@@user-cz3fg5lv6w That is weird. Make sure all the connections are plugged into the correct sockets and that all the connections are tight. If it’s still an issue then I’d reinstall 1 of your old tail lights and see if it does the same thing. If it does, it’s an issue with the truck, not the lights.
same happened to me did you ever fix it?
Switch the black ones.
I har someone pressing the brakes and turn signals to make sure they both work right.
Was haopening to me too.
Hey, would you know why my brake lights don’t work when my lights are on, but the brake lights work when lights are off?
I’m not positive without personally inspecting, but it sounds like a short somewhere. Either the headlight switch internally bad, a bulb has a broken filament and touching another, or you have physical wires rubbed through on each other. There could be other causes, but this is my guess.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy thank you for responding, I just bought the headlights and installed them 2 days ago, so they are new, idk if I should reword or what, there are no videos on it, there are reviews and comments about my issue on Amazon though
@@tyhughes04 So did the brake light issue start right after you installed new headlights?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy so I ordered new headlights and taillights and as soon as I installed the taillights and headlights on the same day, the taillight brake lights started that issue, it’s like it came out of the box like that
@@tyhughes04 I would put your old tail lights back in, or old head lights back in and see if the issue is corrected. If so, your new stuff is defective
Does the led only turn on at night?
Lol which LED?
@@TonyTheTruckGuy keep messing up 😂 the LED parking light, the white strips basically
@@yax_3132 Ah. The white [ ] are the tail lights. Should come on any time you have the headlight switch in the marker light or headlight position. Should also come on automatically at night if it's dark enough on the auto setting just like the stock lights. They don't come on during the day unless you manually turn your lights on.
@@TonyTheTruckGuy you’re the man thanks, so only night time, just subscribed 👍🏽
@@yax_3132 Any time, thanks!
