I just did this swap on my 23 SDU...the only non-led on the whole exterior. What a PITA that housing was to get to. 😵💫 I had to drop the spare to get enough space and then squeezing my meat sticks between the bumper and hitch assembly was tight. Worth it, though. Looks so much better. 👍
By chance I discovered this video, one of the best “cheap” upgrades done so far on my Elevation. GMC should have had LED in the first place, but thanks for the content keep it up buddy, subscribed now!
Thanks man! Welcome!
Great vid looking forward to the garage lighting vid!
I am looking into options!
Thanks for this video. Just ordered a set up
No worries. Certainty brighter! Time will tell for the rest
Perfect, thanks for the link. The amber bulbs were killing my OCD. Any issue with these being to bright at night while using the reverse camera? I've read some might cause a glare
I have used them at night but keep forgetting to pay attention to that detail. Maybe it isn’t a problem 🤷🏻♂️
Ordered. Thanks
I got those lights bulbs and are amazing 👏
Hey donslife can you make a video on oem add-on shock alarm sensor on our gmc/Silverado trucks? Someone broke my driver window this morning.
Sorry that happened to you. Sounds like a fun project. Need a shock sensor/glass break detector, some wiring and a relay. We’ll see
5 months later i finally did it lol
Thanks don
Good stuff Don
Cheers 🍻
I bought this brand for my Palisade reverse and plate bulbs. Unfortunately, one of the plate lights burned out in 1yr BUT... the customer service is awesome because they sent me another set as a replacement with ease!! So maybe they'll last another year, which isn't the best but at least now I have a spare!
Good to know, thanks
Thanks Don! I hate the look of incandescent, totally doing this mod.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching
I'm slowly hacking away at all of these 😅😂
That’s the funnest part!
Nice video! How did you change the key fob to red buttons?
It’s a silicone key fob sleeve. I didn’t want to scratch up the originals
Just a heads up. I have ran those exact bulbs. They are extremely bright and a great color/look. But… they don’t last long before they strobe like crazy. So you will want to keep an eye on them every time you start your truck at night incase you need to swap. I have had the best luck with Sylvania LED.
Good to know! Hopefully they’ll be okay for awhile. I do have extras. Appreciate the tip!
ditto.. same scenario here.. maybe 4months before they start acting up.
Got to make sure they're nice and bright so the cops can read your license plate number when they're calling it in...lol.
Exactly 👍
Ordered! Thanks for promo code. Went with 10 pack - always gotta have backups incase random flicker 😅
Cool ✌🏼 never hurts to have extra
I did the same few days ago on mine. Wish there was an option to get brighter lights for the interior though….I have the 2022 AT4 refresh model.
I looked into it. I don’t think they are a replaceable bulb. They seem to be some kind of integrated LED. Just speculation, I don’t know for sure, but they might be like the front facing spotlights on the mirrors.
Interesting. Appreciate the efforts in looking into this. Love the truck and channel!!
Thank you sir!
Still cracks me up that they used led’s on the whole truck inside and out except the plate at least on my Denali
Same with the AT4’s. Below those trim levels you start to see standard bulbs in more locations
@Brian samething I said for my 23 Denali I'm like, how you got all the other lights LED but not the license plate lights.
Just purchased A 2022 AT4 GMC, will these bulbs replace any other lights on the truck besides the license plate ? Interior lights are dim as hell ! Thanks Don
Unfortunately all of the lights except for the license plate are integrated LEDs
Ordered via the link!
I hope they work out well for all of us that do! Cheers!
Can you replace the low beam and high beam hid light bulb to led ? On Gmc 2021?
you can, but its not worth it. Factory HIDs tend to be very very bright with good cutoff line. the tradeoff is efficiency (power drain) and complexity. There is a comparison (its not in english, but i can sum it up if you want) where a site similar to jalopnik compared the BMW 1 series (or 2? i forgor) factory light options. Halogen, HID and LED. All factory. the brightest was HID (there were other factos as well) . a good HID can outperform an LED, its just too complicated system with a lot of failure points, and PITA to manufacture. nowadays OEM charge a lot for LED option, but getting it manufactured is really cheap. fraction of the cost of an hid system. (not taking moving parts into expense consideration). Third thing, Even tho an HID can be brighter than an OEM LED, premium cars (bmw, AUDI, etc) have brighter leds than old HID. BUT! THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS: OEM HID WILL ALWAYS BE BRIGHTER than aftermarket LED. Aftermarket LED BULBS are a joke. scatter light everywhere, no cutoff line, the little light they produce, even that cannot be used, as its scattered everywhere instead of focused on the road. so even if you put a light metering device in front of the two bulbs, and IF the led is brighter, you still get more visible light out of the hid. Change your HID bulb to Philips, or OSRAM (sylvania in U.S. i guess) to a new bulb. hid can be less bright over time, so it might help. or change it to what the car brand recommends. If that doesnt help, maybe the lens needs a buffing, then a clear uv resistant wrap, or a clear coat. if that doesnt help, try to make the projector clean. If its still bad, try a company that can change the projector. that way the hid will look like new. but if you go that far with it, at that point you can make them change it to LED PROJECTOR. those are good, because they were designed to be an LED PROJECTOR from the beggining. dont mix them up with the shit bulbs. Morimoto is a good brand in projectors. you can get that if you want. i would stick to HID. NEW BULB, BUFFED LENSES + UV RESISTANT FILM (or CC).
Hey doe these bulbs work in 2022 Silverado ?
I think they are the same. The website will confirm

Can the reverse light bulbs be changed out or is the light a complete assembly ?
Unfortunately they are integrated. The only non-LED bulbs left to change are the front signal lights. That video is coming soon
Great vid! I asked a while back if you did a video on on how to do this so glad to see you finally did! I wonder if there was a reason they kept those non-led? Does it light up the tailgate at night? Does it blind the Reverse camera at night? Just trying to think why some engineer at GM would want to keep these non-led. Interested to hear what you think before I change mine.
I will test the brightness vs camera during a dark night. Up north here it is still light past 10pm 😂
Hello There I have 2021 GMC Sierra 5.3 almost similar truck...will these LED work on mines
Yes they should be identical
Did you change the reverse lights allready?
You can’t on these. At least not the OEM LED versions of these taillights
Ordered mine. I remember when i first got my at4 in 2019 I couldn’t find any that would fit property or that wouldnt cause flickering
Hopefully these do the trick
I hope so too. Only time will tell. I have had other brands over the years, even some really expensive ones and some of those don’t last as long as the budget ones.
@@Donslife how are the bulbs doing so far? Any flickering?
No problems, no flickering. Have extra just in case too
Thanks bro bro
No problem
How do you add them to a yukon though. They arent seperate now. They are sealed into the entire license plate lamp.
Unfortunately you probably can’t. We can’t change them on our Escalade either since they’re integrated.
@@Donslife Man, I knew it. It could not find a single video or forum post on this. Everybody is probably waiting on someone else to deal with it. Sucks this did it this way after so many years lol
Does it fit Escalade 16?
194 should fit the license plate bulbs. You can double check on most bulb websites
How are those bulbs holding up from when you installed?
Excellent 👌🏼 and inexpensive
@@Donslife Nice! have you tried installing the reverse Led lights from this company
Unfortunately the taillights are already integrated LED on this trim, so instead I installed a pair on a friends truck. Big difference and so far no issues : LED Upgrade Ford F150 Raptor. Surprising My Neighbor with Brighter Back-up / Reverse Lights!
ua-cam.com/video/caf2G-4pS6M/v-deo.html
Third time watching this as these LEDs from Amazon don’t last a year in my ‘22 AT4
I am still on my first 2/10. I have 8 spares
Why did you put Bilstiens up front but left the Rancho's in the back?
I have Air Lift bags in the back right now, so I wouldn’t get the full benefits of the swap. I will probably still do it though, just not a priority
@@Donslife Yeah I saw you swap your fronts and when I saw this video I realized you still had Rancho. I just put rear Bilstiens on mine and made a world of difference. I can't wait to swap the fronts out. Your video looks like there is a lot to it so i'll probably have a shop do mine. Thanks for all your great videos!!!
🥳🥳
The problem I'm having is getting the bulbs out, and I had a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado that I changed the license plate bulb lights, which was challenging. I now have a 2022 GMC Sierra AT4, and I'm not able to twist the bulb and get it out and thinking if I took a large piece of plastic tubing and split it if I could put that over, that might allow my hand more leverage or else the next time I have service I'll have the dealership to.
👍✌️🇨🇦
I just did this with some LEDs off eBay. I was horrified my brand new AT4 Duramax has piss yellow incandescent bulbs. Step it up GM…
Did the same on my 19 Colorado Zr2 Duramax
Makes a big difference and the true white vs pale yellow is nice
Your paint job looks like you ran out of things to do to your truck and decided to paint it lol.
Paint Job? Do you mean a black camo wrap?
Ordered 10 pack... who wants to buy 2 from me, I got 8 to sell... lol lol
Gift them to your neighbors 💡
Same problem I now have strobe lights to , would not recommend these.
Mine have been fine. Cheap enough to replace if any flickering occurs.
how have these lasted ?
Still on the first 2 bulbs since the video was made
