thinking of doing the 4 headlight mod but was wondering if there are any long term effects that are bad. would like to hear from anybody that has done it. i have a 2000 silv lt. thanx it was -10 here this morning

I have a 99 silvy, xcab, 5.3

I did the mod about 2 weeks ago and i couldnt be happier. Im running 65w Silverstars in all the headlights (i modded the 9005 silverstars to work in my low beams).... they are BRIGHT. Its great when i get flashed when mine are on dim, then i turn them all on and its like daylight. hehe.
I have not had any side effects. The heat from all 4 doesnt seem to make any difference, and ive left them all 4 on and felt of the wires and they arent even warm. Its a VERY VERY easy mod, took me maybe 15 minutes. And i've told all my silvy friends about it and they all did it, all with the same ease and level of satisfaction i've had. GO DO IT!!

I have had mine modded for about 2 months or so now and have been on the highway with them on for quite a while at different times and so far have had no troubles.

smart .... now you can blind the folks in the other lane so they can come over in your lane and have a head on wreck


cops around here give big tickets for your headlights being to bright

where im from the sheriff is a relative of mine... if i got pulled over around here i'd laugh and thank them for the ticket, then throw it away. Besides that fact, do your local police ticket you for having HID... which are even brighter than what im running? Hid that comes standard on many new vehicles? If so there is something very wrong. . As for the "causing a head on crash"... i dont know what you personally tend to do, but i generally dont swirve toward an oncomming car just b/c of the bright headlights. Are you from france? That could explain why you would do something so retarded.

how does this mod work? is it something you buy, or are you just pokeing around in the wires? I'd like to try something like that on my '97.

i never said I would come over in your lane ... i was refering to the other "wonderful" drivers on the road ..... i have the 4 light mod done and its plenty ..... there is no need in putting brighter bulbs in your low beams just so you can piss folks off

I've had mine mod'ed for about 4 months now with no problems at all. It's great especially when the roads are wet and your highbeams tend to lose on dark damp roads. I also installed Blue Xenon bulbs and I don't think I can go back to plain whites now....
Go do it. You just have to ground a wire under the Electrical Center. Do a search in this forum and you'll find the SUPER easy Instructions.

Does anyone have a link on how to do this and what it does?

Search this forum, they are in there somewhere, use "diagram" in the search box.

Here's the Post you lazy searchers' you....

hey Jerry,


What are your "Matrix 25 LED daytime running lights" ??


Have any pics??

More power to ya on the headlight mods (9005 all the way) :smokin:

:2cents:

hey ryanszpara,

check out : http://www.autolumination.com

He has THE BEST led's available for almost any bulb-type! He also handles HID. I actually run led's in my sidemarkers, daytime runnin' lights, backup bulbs, cargo lamps, and lic. plate lights. The super whites look AWESOME! i even have the super white LED's in my interior courtesy/dome lights. You asked about the "matrix" bulb. Basically its a specially designed LED with alot of forward power but also angled led's which not only project but fill up the reflector with light. Im thinking about ordering some really nice clear tail lights and going with colored led bulbs for stop/blinker, etc. That'll be down the road when i have the $$.

take care,
jerry

Wow thanks Jerry,

ill check it out.


Also, (for anyone) i did the 4 headlight mod on my truck, and it doesnt work continuously. Sometimes all 4 are on, but others (with the high beams still) all four are not on......Bad ground????


I grounded to the underhood light so hmm....


Thanks

I'm going to attempt the 4 headlight mod. I'm wondering what gauge of wire that one to be grounded is so I know what size taps to get. I'd rather ask then pull everything apart before I actually do it. Thanks

20-16 or even 14 gauge.....

Thanks

This is truely a great mod and should be stickied.

but....ehhhhhh.....have you tried the fog, drl, low and hi altogether on mod?

I'm not one who could say I've done that. From the looks of the instructions I don't even know if I'd want to attempt it. It would be pretty awesome though.

so, the low beams are not supposed to stay on with the high beams? the previous owner must have modded mine, then.

Nope, factory settings do not keep the lows on when you switch to high. Must be modded!

cool, saves me the trouble, then

Anybody know if this will work on a 03 Tahoe? I would think it so...

03 is a little more difficult from my understanding. Search around and I bet you'll find it. The module from Stylin Concepts for the 03 up models is even a buttload more!

I used a 16-14 gauge tap I got at advance autoparts, and some 16 gauge yellow wire I got there, too.

Gotter done Blender... Used a 22-16 AWG quick tap and some 18 AWG wire to ground with. Even went all out and soldered the terminal! (Woohoo) I like the output though. I used to drive around holding the high/low switch back, wishing they were that bright. Well I'll be, they are that bright! Thanks for the input.

Yes, I have done it on a 2003 2500HD. Makes offroading at night like daylight. It can be all done in the under the hood fuse box using diodes.
