I bought the same exact LEDs for the low beams but they didn't fit they kept hitting the reflector in the low beam casing. How did you get them to fit??
I did everything except the low beams and then ended up returning them. Someone else who bought them said they needed resistors which I dont know how to do and they kept flickering so I bought these instead:

They are good and white. I like them and were much easier to install and also cheaper.

I just found a setup from rough country(I know I’m not a fan of their suspension) kits mounts in the front grill looks like two little 6” led light bars. I’m going to be adding that and their light bar kit that installs behind the grill mesh on the lower part of the front bumper. Also looking to change headlight bulbs and fog lights to leds
Here's some pictures of them. They look sweet, only thing I would do is black out the 2 bolts that look like chrome or stainless. I have that on my list of things to do. That & I was hoping to find a 30 0r 40 inch light bar for the lower grill but all I'm seeing is the RC 20". I did their 30" curved bar on my last truck, 2017 Colorado & it worked out fine & looked great!

I was going to get this for my truck as well. then I saw the 5-6 hour install time which kinda blew me away. I also wanted to make these a DRL light but it looks to be a little to bright to be that.

I have a 2019 new 1500, blackout edition.... with factory halogen :( I just did a swap to the factory mid-level LED front and rear. The rear were plug and play....the front....a challenge. The factory halogen have a 12 pin harness, vs the the LED being 16. I found the raw molex online, and built a harness. Requires 6 - 6ohm load resistors and four relays.... this is the only way I could make the truck to work exactly as the factory does, with no error codes. You have to wire 2 6ohm resistors in series, then parallel them inline with the parking lights wire and turn signal wires. The tricky part is then to wire a relay on each the turn signal and parking light connected to those circuits....if not, the load differential will cause the parking lights and turn signal to operate intermittently, and throw a light out error. Just finished this last night, so far so good. If to had to do again, would DEFINITELY pay the extra $995 when I bought the truck. I spent $618 on both rear lights and $520 a piece on the headlights. Super happy with the results!!

Go to headlightrevolution.com. Best headlight bulbs around. They have reverse and fog lights as well. They don’t have interior bulbs yet. Install isn’t awful. The way I did it was take the screws out from the wheel liner and pull back the liner so you can easily get your hand behind it to reach the low beam bulb. The turn signals and the high beams are very easy to get from just opening the grill
Go on ebay and order the attached leds. I can vouch for them being very bright. Plug and Play, and I've had them half a year no problem. If they dont work when plugged in, flip the plug so thst they will have the proper polarity. These are VERY good and bright led bulbs.

Can I pay you to send me a diagram or make mines work?

What lights did you use? Can you link them? Also any dash errors? Pictures maybe? Sorry for the amount of questions just super interested.
Go on ebay and order the ones I attached in the photo. I can vouche they are COMPLETELY plug and play and WORKS AMAZINGLY! THEY'RE BRIGHT AND QUIET. I've had mine 6 months now. Installed in 15 minutes. If they don't work when you plug them in, just flip the connector over and plug them back in to have the right polarity (+)(-). YOU WILL LOVE THEM AT THAT PRICE! I'M GONNA ORDER ANOTHER SET JUST TO HAVE, BUT THEY'RE BUILT NICE.

Easy swap using the retro shop harness.

Just bought a new 2019 1500 and I'm interested in LED lights but I've never done any research before. Not sure what I'm looking at.

When I look at HR's V.4's, they use the same bulb for both high and low, but they are still different lumin's. Is that because of the driver? If not, can I buy 2 pair of these from Ebay and use them for both high and low? What are the risks/downsides if any?

As far as the fog lights go, again, can I use the same bulb?

Thanks,
Chris

Have you noticed any let’s say.. super fast and disco-e strobing affect, with your LEDS? I’ve tried two brands now and they both are always lit and never flash on and off but they have a slight flicker to them. It’s confusing the hell out of me
