This helped me install those same headlights. The instructions in the box didn't explain the two sets of wires. You mentioned the daytime tiny bulbs and that was the secret to the lowbrow headlights
I have them same Eagle Eye Halo lights. Had them for 3 years about the same time as this video. That I am just seeing in 2022. I had NO problem and I Love them. Yes I hooked mine to a switch too. LOL
You can actually take the screw out of the socket on the led and turn the clips (one piece) and reinstall the set screw on the led. Then your set it will install with no issues
the reflector pattern is a little odd this is a good how to align headlights czcams.com/video/GWvSWBlAwnI/video.html i found a dark road and paced off 75ft thats about where the lights should hit the ground and direct the left ight inward a little. i just gestimated and it did pass inspection
I've found LED headlights in my 1995 Silverado do not project light very far. They are bright white for sure, but only illuminate a short distance in front of the vehicle. Basically useless at highway speeds. They light up reflective signs very well though.
there are some good LEDs and bad ones out there. do your research before you order. you also need to make sure your grounds are very good. weak, damaged or corroded grounds will cause issues with LEDs. your low beams should be an LED equivalent to 35 watts, high is 55 watts in the US. also make sure the low beams are aimed correctly here is a good how too haynes.com/en-us/tips-tutorials/how-adjust-your-headlight-aim-emergency
What's the purpose/function of the little bulb by the low beam? I have the same headlights installed and thought they were for melting ice and snow off the headlights if the high/low beams were converted to LEDs. Anyway its left me puzzled.
that is a good question. the only thing I can think of is City Lights many European cities like London, Paris, Berlin mandated them for driving at night in urban areas using low watt city lights rather than the vehicle's headlights. I think Its still a thing in some places. Thousands of GMT400 trucks were exported. It may be that the manufacture of these lights made them all country complaint... or they just thought it would be cool to torture our fingers getting them in there lol
these aftermarket led lights only last about 6 months on average. So when they go out you'll end up going back to the original factory lights. So make sure when you do this save the old lights.
If you are talking about the Halos yes as I noted in the video I head the same thing which is why I hooked them up to a switch rather than always on, so far so good after 9 about months I don’t turn them on at night since you really can’t see them very well.
How about a video detailing your fabrication for the relay mount and wiring? From the brief tease we get at 4:50 , it looks like you did a really clean job of installing the headlight relays. Is that a little fuse block with the "1234" label?
Hi thanks! yes its a fuse block and I did go into more detail in that wiring in the cooling fan upgrade vid here czcams.com/video/4tDVcwx4TLA/video.html
yes all of the LED have been great no burnouts and no issues the electronic flashers either. now the side marker lenses are crap they were not sealed well and fog up. they look great but i should have sealed them with some black RTV.
Hey brother thanks for the great vid, just getting ready to start on my new 99 k2500, and just wondered what you bought for the parking lights? Sorry if you mentioned it i missed it, I'm definitely doing the same headlights but also really liked the parking lights and wanted to copy that as well.

How is the light pattern with these headlights? I purchased the same headlights just clear and the pattern is absolutely terrible. It’s worse than the $40 eBay headlights I had on the truck before I put in the Anzo headlights.
I light pattern sems ok to me, far better than the OEM lights mine are a few years old now they may have changed them. it could be the your LEDS too some bulb models can be "Clocked" within the bulb own housing itself so they can apply light in the right direction toward the reflectors. I think someone posted a while back they dont make the same model I showed in the vid that the part number was updated.
So I bought both the bulbs and headlight unit that were in this video (I liked the way they looked and Mr. Navy Dad seemed to as well). But after I installed them the light coming out was funky, not pointed in the right direction (even with adjustment), and dark spots all over. That and no matter what I tried to do the high beams always ended up pointed at the sky. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated.
hi I have installed these lights on 3 trucks now with no issues. you do have to aim them; they are not set from the factory it sounds like you have a defective set
Hi well the truck has been off the road just over a year now. I blew up the v6 and I’m doing a 454-swap. However the lights have held up very well and the truck is outside in Texas. They have not clouded, fogged or leaked.
I like how they turned out so the halos you just wire a separate switch for? Like what you said about lmc truck without them we would be screwed in some cases I use the books sometimes just for part reference to see how it comes apart

My question is will you still have hyper flash if you don't do the conversion for for the high and low beams being simultaneously lit? Or can you leave that part alone and still have them work correctly.
hyper flash has nothing to do with the headlights thats the turn signals and the 4way hazard flashers. But all you need to solve hyper flash is 2 electric flasher relays. like the Novita EP35 Turn signal flasher (the one on the fuse box by the bottom of the steering column) and 4way hazard flasher like the "Keep It Clean" #10853 (keep it clean is the brand name) which is just under the dash left or right of the steering column depending on the year.
Thank you! Under the original comments at the top is a link to my Google doc that has the links to all the parts I used on this post. I tried several lights and the cheap ones are, well, cheap. The lights I used are AnzoUSA 111299 from Amazon. They have been on the truck for 7 months and so for no issues, no fogging for cracking and work great with the LED bulbs
all the links are in the Google PDF doc above in the description. As to the other note "But im a girl" cool... as FYI my shout out "Hi Boys" to so my son's serving in the US Navy to where ever they are in the world, hence my name NavyDad. take care
Very soon, should be mid February. its been a winter, had some Covid in the family everyone is well now and for some reason I didn't get it (yup we are all vaxd) and then... I blew the motor in O'l Blue on Christmas Eve..... UHG... Had a long way to go and a short time to get there (pick and pull Fort Worth closed early) They had just posted a 99 Firebird. I picked up the complete rear disk brake setup for the Chevelle ($70 for everything) then hauled a$$ home for family Christmas stuff. Over a 100 miles round trip pushing 85 all the way (he ran so good too). Stopped for gas a few blocks from the house and that was it, he wont start, gas, spark nota the little 4.3L (218K) was done. He did his job he got me home for Christmas. If everything goes well this weekend I'll be doing a vid on What is going under the hood and it "ani't no" LS. However yes before I do the engine swap, I'll do the mirror how too. Hope you keep watching.
All you need is the turn signal flasher at least through 1995. The hazard flasher is separate but does not operate on voltage, at lease it does not on my 94 but I know they went to a single module later but not sure what year
@@ricardofuentes9813 instagram.com/v8carnut/ next up for the truck is all new front suspension (it has 216,000 miles on it) and inexpensive factory power windows/lock conversion and (still working on it) Tow Mirrors but not the same way everyone else is doing them.
Yes they have held up very well, no fogging or cracks I've put about 5K miles on the truck since the install even the halo LEDs still work but as I said in the vid they are not very bright but still look cool
How did you replace the little tiny bulb that’s on the actual inside of the housing not the main LED lights but a little tiny bulb that’s on the side inside the housing
that was a pain (in the fingers) I used a small pair of needle nose plyers and broke the original getting it out. now sure why I didn't show that I should have
they kinds suck, one cracked and they are not sealed well... but yeah they do look cool. you will want to seal the edges with some clear RTV before installing them. here are the cheap ones from Amazon www.amazon.com/Autozensation-for-94-98-Chevy-C-K-Silverado-Suburban-Black-Corner-Signal-Lights-Lamps/dp/B07S6Z8L1D/ref=cm_wl_huc_item and better ones at Summit www.summitracing.com/parts/ann-521042?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-Dgy-nx3r1h4wDJn1J62rrZey0N2KlMxOzQl0AebDRErw8It0CSeTRoCN7QQAvD_BwE
Yes you need an electronic flasher its in the Google doc link I have under the discerption too and here is the link www.amazon.com/Tridon-EP36-Novita-Flasher/dp/B00064LQLC
You can buy the kit from LMC Truck for about $30 or make your own. Click on the Google doc in the discerption, scroll to the bottom for my diagram "Headlight hi/low beam conversion" cost is about $10-15
I count find the link on Amazon but here is a link on Summit but... they leaked they look very cool but leak. before you install them be sure to run a bead of silicon around the edges and they should be ok www.summitracing.com/parts/ann-521042?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-Dgy-nx3r1h4wDJn1J62rrZey0N2KlMxOzQl0AebDRErw8It0CSeTRoCN7QQAvD_BwE
If you click the google docs link in the discerption I have a complete diagram on how to wire up so the low beams stay on with the high beams. You just need some wire and a relay
I was told that the LED lights burn cooler than the original ones which makes the outside lens freeze over while driving through ice and snow. I've been thinking of switching over to LED but am now a bit hesitant since I work 3rd shift and wouldn't want that issue. If anyone knows one way or the other I'd love to know...
They still generate heat just not like a halogen. I live in the Dallas area so I not much opportunity for long term cold and ice. However most modern cars/trucks have LEDs today like all new F150s as example but they dont seem to have issues. the only thing I could say it try it and see what happens as you can always go back to halogen
Had another thought on this. You can buy aftermarket heated mirror inserts on eBay or Amazon. They’re water resistant and stick on. You could remove the headlights the put them on the back or top of the housing (could even do the taillights too) then use a switch like this to control it. it’s a thought anyway www.amazon.com/ThermaSync-Defroster-Heated-Mirror-Control/dp/B075FY4194
Hi there. Great video and thanks for sharing. I see in the PDF that there's a link to the halo assembly for the main headlights but am wondering what you used for the lower assembly with the amber LEDs.
Hi thank you! and sorry I forgot to add those. These are the ones I used but the headlights are garbage www.amazon.com/dp/B01KTXRZIM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_I.DpEbAGYJ0C1
actually i locked out and found it on Craigslist new for $75 but this is it. Also remember that 88-89 and 90-93 and 94-98 are all a little different www.amazon.com/IPCW-CWG-GR0307K0C-Chevrolet-Pickup-Composite/dp/B005OJ3U0E/ref=psdc_15709501_t1_B008MP2W42
Yes but you may have to make some mods to the grill and will have to replace the headlight connectors as they are different. I think LMC truck makes a conversion kit
Have you done the videos of thr engine upgrades and where did you by the hiusing. Upgrades also have any suggestions on whar engine to put into a chevy c1500 5 speed v6 i wanna have more power. And the grill upgrade the fromt to gmc also how do you do that maybe we can email each other and talk
Hi I have not done any engine upgrades yet. That will be later in 2020 as I need to finish the Miata MX5 Turbo build first. I’m keeping the engine swap a secret until I do the work next year. It’s not an LS, Diesel or a Chevy engine maybe a one of kind I hope. As for the 4.3 in your truck a Turbo is the cheapest way to add power to your existing engine if it’s in good condition. The “China” Turbo kits are much better than they used to be and it’s a cheap fun way to add power.

if you click on the Google doc in the description and scroll down to the pic of the Relay you can use this as a guide. if you just want the light to come on all the time when the truck is on. Use a 4 pin 30/40amp Bosch style relay: Pin30 goes to 12V battery with an inline 10amp fuse. Pin85 is ground. Pin86 is the trigger to activate the relay connect it to wire on the main fuse block that is active when the ignition is on. This is only a 12V signal. Pin87 connects directly to the 12v lead on the Halos. If you want to add a switch, put the switch between the trigger Relay wire. Of you can take the relay out and connect the switch directly to the battery with a 10amp fuse. doing it this way will allow the halos to be turned on at any time, like at a car show
Its connected to a relay. blade 30 on the relay connects directly to the battery (with a 10amp fuse) blade 87 connects to the power on the lights, blade 85 is ground. The switch is connected to a wire that is hot when the ignition is on. The other side of the switch wire is connected to blade 86 on the relay. Turn the switch on and it activates the relay closing the 12v circuit between 30 and 85 turning on the
I think you are talking about the turn signal relay, swapping the analog one to electronic so no hyper flash? if so its on the fuse block under the dash just to the right of the parking brake
The bumper it from a 96 3500 diesel it came with the guards but you can buy them at LMC truck or probably not that hard to find in a junk yard too. I think Silverados had them too as an option
@@austin2702 It depends on which 99 you have as both the older GMT400 25-3500s remained in production in and 99 was the first year for the new GMT800 which was a different truck and lights. However they do make LED Bulbs for the newer GMT800s but I’m not sure what size but you can look up bulb sizes for just about any car on www.modifiedlife.com
Navy Dad we’ll I have a very interesting case where I have a 00 Tahoe z71 so it was the last year before they redesigned it but I can only find parts for it if I search up 99
@@austin2702oh that's cool I thought just the Tahoe Limited was the only GMT400 Tahoe model in 00 so you have a rare rig. in your case the 94-98/99 parts will fit.

what year? they should be the same for all OSB trucks Chevy or GMC from 94-2000. there may be some differences 88-93 if you have the older style sealed bean headlights you might have to swap the grill too.

@@robertstoyles one thing to note is the light pattern spread is little odd, but still very good and I've never had anyone flash their lights like it was to bright. but the high beams WOW they are bright really light up a dark road. I'll d a follow up in a few weeks on the overall upgrades in the truck and how they have held up. and more coming soon too
I wired them up using a rely tired the ignition and a switch on the dash. I decided not to wire them up to always on as I read a review on Amazon they didn’t last long if used all the time
@@NavyDad thanks I ended up just sanding my oem ones down and re clearing them but baught all the bulbs you baught and did the high beam low beam wiring and it turned out great thank you
Hi yes it will work on the 99-00 GMT400 body Tahoe I believe all 94-98 GMT400 pickups, Suburban's and Tahoe's through early 2000 used the same grill and light assembly
Anyway to use led in the back for the brake and turn signal? I've tried wiring and everything, but nothing seems to work. One bulb stays lit and one won't flash... It's annoying. Try it out and you'll see what I mean. Btw... I used led headlights for my reverse. Might be something you could look into. Also... I had those halos when they came out...2 years later they yellowed and fogged up badly.. I am now running GLASS Spyder lens. As for engine guess... 327???? Mine is a 383
Hi did you install and Electric Flasher? if not that's your issue, you cant use the original analog flasher for LEDs this is the one you need for a GMT400 OBS truck 88-98 www.amazon.com/Tridon-EP36-Novita-Flasher/dp/B00064LQLC
Hi sorry not sure what is meant by resistor box? do you mean a relay? the relay is needed so that the low beam lights stay on when turning on the high beam lights.
@@NavyDad shows a resistor box in directions for lights(step 17) place resistor box next to headlights where space is available. Thank you for fast reply.
@@jerrymaus6259 Ahh ok sorry my headlights did not come with any instructions, just lights in a box. I can’t think of a reason for a resistor with these headlights. The daytime running lights would need a Relay if setting them up to come on with the ignition.
not sure why your other question is not showing up but yes these will fit your 1998 1500 the lights bolt right in and the LED bulbs plug directly into the stock sockets
Yeah I know life got in the way and a new project fell in my lap that I will announce next. But other things are coming for o'l blue soon too. the swap will have to wait a little longer... its a bit complicated
Hi yes it came from diesel dully, but they can be found on 3500 gas trucks (mostly 454s) if they had the heavy duty package, trans, oil and power steering coolers. I found this one on craigslist for $80. It’s a direct bolt on, no mods
Navy Dad awesome i thought so... like the lights in there. I always look for that style bumper because i have a 6.5td and Gabe the same bumper... my next and last vehicle will be a ‘99 2500 suburban 4x4 with the 6.5td

I put leds on my obs and my right corner light is not bright when on and when I use turn signal they get bright idk what is up with it maybe you know
try reversing the bulb in the socket. Some LED lights only go in one way, also check your ground wire
@@NavyDad I did that with the bulb but didn't mess with the ground ill try that thanks
Why’d you take apart the whole front end just for your headlights?? There’s only two mounting studs…
it was damaged when I bought it, cracked side makers, headlight, grill, bumper and filler panel all damaged and I also added an OE trans cooler
My question is will you still have hyper flash if you don't do the conversion for for the high and low beams being simultaneously lit? Or can you leave that part alone and still have them work correctly.
Im not to concerned with the halos being on a switch if I don't have to be.
hyper flash has nothing to do with the headlights thats the turn signals and the 4way hazard flashers. But all you need to solve hyper flash is 2 electric flasher relays. like the Novita EP35 Turn signal flasher (the one on the fuse box by the bottom of the steering column) and 4way hazard flasher like the "Keep It Clean" #10853 (keep it clean is the brand name) which is just under the dash left or right of the steering column depending on the year.
Thank you for the feed back. Your channel is awesome. You remind me alot of my old man and his childhood friends. My kinda folks 🤘
What brand headlights do you recommend? Seem like a very honest guy.
Thank you! Under the original comments at the top is a link to my Google doc that has the links to all the parts I used on this post. I tried several lights and the cheap ones are, well, cheap. The lights I used are AnzoUSA 111299 from Amazon. They have been on the truck for 7 months and so for no issues, no fogging for cracking and work great with the LED bulbs
@@NavyDad thanks again.
Do your drl’s work w turning signals ?
No hooked them up to a standalone switch so I could turn them on anytime
I dont see any link where you ordered your lihjys
all the links are in the Google PDF doc above in the description. As to the other note "But im a girl" cool... as FYI my shout out "Hi Boys" to so my son's serving in the US Navy to where ever they are in the world, hence my name NavyDad. take care
Did you have any problems with the high beams shining way up in the sky even after adjusting them?
no but it did take some work to get them adjusting they were way out of wack from the factory
I clicked the link for the led headlight bulb 4 light kit and I say that it will not fit my 96 c1500...
When are you going to do the power mirrors. I have the mirrors but can't get the wiring to work.
Very soon, should be mid February. its been a winter, had some Covid in the family everyone is well now and for some reason I didn't get it (yup we are all vaxd) and then... I blew the motor in O'l Blue on Christmas Eve..... UHG... Had a long way to go and a short time to get there (pick and pull Fort Worth closed early) They had just posted a 99 Firebird. I picked up the complete rear disk brake setup for the Chevelle ($70 for everything) then hauled a$$ home for family Christmas stuff. Over a 100 miles round trip pushing 85 all the way (he ran so good too). Stopped for gas a few blocks from the house and that was it, he wont start, gas, spark nota the little 4.3L (218K) was done. He did his job he got me home for Christmas. If everything goes well this weekend I'll be doing a vid on What is going under the hood and it "ani't no" LS. However yes before I do the engine swap, I'll do the mirror how too. Hope you keep watching.
Do the front turn signals work properly, running lights on, then act as turn signals when needed?
Yes as long has you use the electronic flasher the LED turn signals/parking lights work just like stock
how many flashers do we need for the installation? Thank you sir you got a new subscriber cool video
All you need is the turn signal flasher at least through 1995. The hazard flasher is separate but does not operate on voltage, at lease it does not on my 94 but I know they went to a single module later but not sure what year
@@NavyDad Update us on this truck or what’s your Instagram
@@ricardofuentes9813 instagram.com/v8carnut/ next up for the truck is all new front suspension (it has 216,000 miles on it) and inexpensive factory power windows/lock conversion and (still working on it) Tow Mirrors but not the same way everyone else is doing them.
I need that bumper
its a one ton bumper found it on CL for $75
A year and a half later - are you still happy with those headlights?
I want to know too!
Yes they have held up very well, no fogging or cracks I've put about 5K miles on the truck since the install even the halo LEDs still work but as I said in the vid they are not very bright but still look cool
Navy Dad
Thanks. They look good!
How did you replace the little tiny bulb that’s on the actual inside of the housing not the main LED lights but a little tiny bulb that’s on the side inside the housing
that was a pain (in the fingers) I used a small pair of needle nose plyers and broke the original getting it out. now sure why I didn't show that I should have
@@NavyDad and what size LED did you get for those small ones so I can also get them Or do you have a link to them
@@NKC_Studio they were just standard 194 bulbs but in LED From o'reilly's
@@NavyDad thank you !
Where did you get those corner lights? I can’t find any for mine!!!
they kinds suck, one cracked and they are not sealed well... but yeah they do look cool. you will want to seal the edges with some clear RTV before installing them. here are the cheap ones from Amazon www.amazon.com/Autozensation-for-94-98-Chevy-C-K-Silverado-Suburban-Black-Corner-Signal-Lights-Lamps/dp/B07S6Z8L1D/ref=cm_wl_huc_item and better ones at Summit

So i have a 94 and just put LED bulbs in the truck. I’m getting hyper flash. I just need to swap the flasher?
Yes you need an electronic flasher its in the Google doc link I have under the discerption too and here is the link www.amazon.com/Tridon-EP36-Novita-Flasher/dp/B00064LQLC
Thanks! I’ll give it a try!
how’d you get the low and high beams to light up at the same time??
You can buy the kit from LMC Truck for about $30 or make your own. Click on the Google doc in the discerption, scroll to the bottom for my diagram "Headlight hi/low beam conversion" cost is about $10-15
What about the corner lights? I'm looking for new ones
I count find the link on Amazon but here is a link on Summit but... they leaked they look very cool but leak. before you install them be sure to run a bead of silicon around the edges and they should be ok www.summitracing.com/parts/ann-521042?seid=srese1&gclid=CjwKCAjwuvmHBhAxEiwAWAYj-Dgy-nx3r1h4wDJn1J62rrZey0N2KlMxOzQl0AebDRErw8It0CSeTRoCN7QQAvD_BwE
Idk if I dumb or what but how do you turn on the brights 91 gmc
If you click the google docs link in the discerption I have a complete diagram on how to wire up so the low beams stay on with the high beams. You just need some wire and a relay
Did you just use one relay or do you need one for both sides ?
Yes just one side, both sides use a single harness.
All the cheap ebay 9005 and 9006 led bulbs work for me but how did you get to the 194 in head lights i have same ones
josh shelby Yes you’re right it was a pain in the ass I had to use a bent set
Stupid iPhone I had to use a bent set of needle nose pliers to twist them in
Thanks man ima have to make that change when i take my grill off again
I was told that the LED lights burn cooler than the original ones which makes the outside lens freeze over while driving through ice and snow. I've been thinking of switching over to LED but am now a bit hesitant since I work 3rd shift and wouldn't want that issue. If anyone knows one way or the other I'd love to know...
They still generate heat just not like a halogen. I live in the Dallas area so I not much opportunity for long term cold and ice. However most modern cars/trucks have LEDs today like all new F150s as example but they dont seem to have issues. the only thing I could say it try it and see what happens as you can always go back to halogen
Had another thought on this. You can buy aftermarket heated mirror inserts on eBay or Amazon. They’re water resistant and stick on. You could remove the headlights the put them on the back or top of the housing (could even do the taillights too) then use a switch like this to control it. it’s a thought anyway www.amazon.com/ThermaSync-Defroster-Heated-Mirror-Control/dp/B075FY4194
Hi there. Great video and thanks for sharing. I see in the PDF that there's a link to the halo assembly for the main headlights but am wondering what you used for the lower assembly with the amber LEDs.
Hi thank you! and sorry I forgot to add those. These are the ones I used but the headlights are garbage www.amazon.com/dp/B01KTXRZIM/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_I.DpEbAGYJ0C1
Where’s this grill come from? Needing a good clean chrome grill like this
actually i locked out and found it on Craigslist new for $75 but this is it. Also remember that 88-89 and 90-93 and 94-98 are all a little different www.amazon.com/IPCW-CWG-GR0307K0C-Chevrolet-Pickup-Composite/dp/B005OJ3U0E/ref=psdc_15709501_t1_B008MP2W42
I have an 89 1500 with halogen lights, will this work for my truck?
Yes but you may have to make some mods to the grill and will have to replace the headlight connectors as they are different. I think LMC truck makes a conversion kit
6500k is what you want
Have you done the videos of thr engine upgrades and where did you by the hiusing. Upgrades also have any suggestions on whar engine to put into a chevy c1500 5 speed v6 i wanna have more power. And the grill upgrade the fromt to gmc also how do you do that maybe we can email each other and talk
Hi I have not done any engine upgrades yet. That will be later in 2020 as I need to finish the Miata MX5 Turbo build first. I’m keeping the engine swap a secret until I do the work next year. It’s not an LS, Diesel or a Chevy engine maybe a one of kind I hope. As for the 4.3 in your truck a Turbo is the cheapest way to add power to your existing engine if it’s in good condition. The “China” Turbo kits are much better than they used to be and it’s a cheap fun way to add power.

Do I have to buy the flasher? What is it for? I just wanna install the led headlights.
No you don't need the flasher if just doing the LED headlights, you can still use the stock incident turn signal bulbs
Can you show us how u wires the halo lights
if you click on the Google doc in the description and scroll down to the pic of the Relay you can use this as a guide. if you just want the light to come on all the time when the truck is on. Use a 4 pin 30/40amp Bosch style relay: Pin30 goes to 12V battery with an inline 10amp fuse. Pin85 is ground. Pin86 is the trigger to activate the relay connect it to wire on the main fuse block that is active when the ignition is on. This is only a 12V signal. Pin87 connects directly to the 12v lead on the Halos. If you want to add a switch, put the switch between the trigger Relay wire. Of you can take the relay out and connect the switch directly to the battery with a 10amp fuse. doing it this way will allow the halos to be turned on at any time, like at a car show
Can you upload a video of how you spliced the cables together
Which part? the Halos?
@@NavyDad yes on how you install the halos please
How did you hook up the switch for the halos?
Its connected to a relay. blade 30 on the relay connects directly to the battery (with a 10amp fuse) blade 87 connects to the power on the lights, blade 85 is ground. The switch is connected to a wire that is hot when the ignition is on. The other side of the switch wire is connected to blade 86 on the relay. Turn the switch on and it activates the relay closing the 12v circuit between 30 and 85 turning on the
So would this fit my 1988 chevrolet c/k1500 cheyenne scotland ?
The led lights?
yes but I believe you would have to change the grill too I dont think they fit under the 88-89 grill
Where do I plug in the fuse for the turn signals
I think you are talking about the turn signal relay, swapping the analog one to electronic so no hyper flash? if so its on the fuse block under the dash just to the right of the parking brake
Whered you get the bumper guards
The bumper it from a 96 3500 diesel it came with the guards but you can buy them at LMC truck or probably not that hard to find in a junk yard too. I think Silverados had them too as an option
Would these fit perfectly on a 94 Chevy C1500? I’m looking for new headlights for mine
Hi yes in fact O'l Blue in the video is a 94 C1500
Navy Dad will they fit a 99?
@@austin2702 It depends on which 99 you have as both the older GMT400 25-3500s remained in production in and 99 was the first year for the new GMT800 which was a different truck and lights. However they do make LED Bulbs for the newer GMT800s but I’m not sure what size but you can look up bulb sizes for just about any car on www.modifiedlife.com
Navy Dad we’ll I have a very interesting case where I have a 00 Tahoe z71 so it was the last year before they redesigned it but I can only find parts for it if I search up 99
@@austin2702oh that's cool I thought just the Tahoe Limited was the only GMT400 Tahoe model in 00 so you have a rare rig. in your case the 94-98/99 parts will fit.

BUT.. they fog up, not sealed well at all before you put them on reseal the edges with RTV.
Will obs chevy headlights for on a obs gmc? Amazon says no
what year? they should be the same for all OSB trucks Chevy or GMC from 94-2000. there may be some differences 88-93 if you have the older style sealed bean headlights you might have to swap the grill too.
I put the same pair in chrome on my 94 gmc and they fit perfect

I wired them up using a rely tired the ignition and a switch on the dash. I decided not to wire them up to always on as I read a review on Amazon they didn’t last long if used all the time

Would these work in a 99 Tahoe?
Hi yes it will work on the 99-00 GMT400 body Tahoe I believe all 94-98 GMT400 pickups, Suburban's and Tahoe's through early 2000 used the same grill and light assembly
Anyway to use led in the back for the brake and turn signal? I've tried wiring and everything, but nothing seems to work. One bulb stays lit and one won't flash... It's annoying. Try it out and you'll see what I mean. Btw... I used led headlights for my reverse. Might be something you could look into.
Also... I had those halos when they came out...2 years later they yellowed and fogged up badly.. I am now running GLASS Spyder lens.
As for engine guess... 327???? Mine is a 383
