  4. Fog Lights / Projectors ?

    in Appearance, Cleaning, & Detailing

    Posted · Edited by Leviser (see edit history)

    Sorry no part #. I went on Amazon and looked for a projector light that was small and would fit a h3 hid bulb. Since I already have a h3 hid kit from diode dynamics. The seller I used is Anzio, 1 Pair Front Projector Glass Lens Bumper Fog Light Lamp w/ 55W 2400LM H3 Halogen Bulb + Mounting Bracket Kit. Was 21.99 but I think its 21.44 and free shipping currently. Took awhile to get and not the best packaging. Again these r cheap and I did modify the plastic backing on the light to seal better and cut a bit to fit the hid bulb better with a dremel. Once I got the brackets set and position for the lights. I bought some rustoleum gray hammered paint. I put a bunch of light coats. Note there is a bunch of sellers on amazon with these cheap lights. I figure if they break I can easily replace and cheap.

     

    Can also do a amazon search of h3 projector fog lights.

    They do get hot.

  7. Fog Lights / Projectors ?

    I originally had projector fog lights from winjet installed in the ducts. Had HIDs in them. They were the yellow tint to the lens. Wanted something for bad weather. Made brackets, bought factory switch, ran wire to fuse box. All worked good, but the lens are junk. Barely had any light output. So I eventually tossed the lights and brackets, since everything rusted up. Left the HID kit and switch in. I liked the look of the TBSS fog lights so decided to make my own. Purchased a cheap set of projector fog lights that used the same builb size as my HID. $20. Bought some aluminum from Home Depot. Found the spot I liked in the lower grill to install them. After a couple of tries of fitment. I removed lower grill, I then removed the tow hooks, that was like 10 lbs. and had to make custom brackets. Made sure to paint everything. And yes I put the lower grill under the knife. But after finished. Light output is great, and to me looks factory installed. Note pics do not reflect the lights on. Its the flash.

    I have those tail lights on my truck. Stock ones were peeling inside the lens. If the eBay ones are CCFL with LED. They r bright. The ones I got were from spyder. I find the look like the new GMC trucks. Only concern I had is that it seems moisture could get on sides and top of lens. I sealed up with some clear silicon. I would post pics but having issue do to pic file size.

  10. Broken Tailgate Handle Repair

    I am on my third time of this happening to me. I'll give your solution a try to hold the handle up when closing. But the plastic on both the rod clips and bezel seem deteriorate over time. Only once was I able to get the bezel off without breaking the top bezel clips. The rod clips are cheap to buy online and also the bezel. would be great if there was a permanent fix.

    Check out post#10, 11 and 12 for pics.

    I used an apex catch can, http://www.apex-speed.com,

    there is also elite 2 catch can. http://eliteengineeringusa.com/installinstructions.html

     

    Look at the driver side valve cover towards fire wall and u will see the line that holds pcv to the top of air intake. Once removed you see how to best route new lines, to keep items from rubbing and used zip ties when necessary. Just take your time and test fit by putting side engine cover on to be sure you like the fit.

    I hope there is a future SS on the horizon. Tired of seeing these silly special editions which is nothing but a bunch of stripes and badges. Just pull off current parts bin. Brembo brakes. MRC suspension, recaro seats. Then add in some carbon fiber items to make the truck lighter. Would be great to see a pickup run the Nurburgring and post a time. Or just use the Cheyenne concept they had a few years ago to start building an SS truck.

  16. How To: Big 3 Upgrade

    SSSNCHA, are you planning on putting a inline fuse when upgrading the wiring from alternator to the battery. I have read a bit about the fusible link. Some put a fuse in and others don't. If you are putting a fuse in, if u could share the fuse size you are using and if you are using stock 105 amp alternator. I have been thinking of doing the same upgrade but concerned about the fusible link?

  17. WARNING hidnation.com HORRIBLE customer service

    in Appearance, Cleaning, & Detailing

    I had a set of hids from CARID.com when I bought my projector lights. Oddly the high beam ballasts went after a few years. I knew this wasn't a good set since they stopped selling hid kits and what I received looked used. Anyways this prompted me to go to Diode Dynamics.

    I have read good reviews from them on another forum so decided to get all new hid kits for low, high and fog lights. All I can say is they are awesome. Far brighter than what I had. And I had an issue with one of the ballasts. Which they sent me a return unit within days and had great customer service. No charge for a replacement. The new kit is slim ballast and wiring just looked better quality.

    They are not cheap but I am happy with the product.

    I installed mine off the drivers side valve cover and into the catch can and from the catch can into the intake very easy and catches oil

    Thank you Aldofashow for the reply. Do you have any pics showing how everything is hooked up. I am figuring I need to remove all the engine cover stuff to get to the hose's so I can install but was hoping for some pics to see where everything is hooked up, for both inlet and outlet. So far I had no luck finding any good instructions or pics.
