Turns out the daytime lights do work! Apparently the truck has to be in gear for them to turn on.
I was just about to message you that
I was watching this part in the video trying to telepathically tell you, PUT IT IN GEAR!! 😂 my 06 Silverado is the same they only come on in gear.
Yep 😂
Try to unlock/lock with the remote? Do the running lights flash??
Yes, GM daytime running lights only come on when you take it out of park...I figured you'd know that being GMMatt! My suburban and Yukon and Sierra were that way(GMT800s) and our 12 and 13 Cruzes are the same way
Watching this makes me really appreciate just how easy it is to do the lights on the 04 (GMT800) Tahoe! They are extremely easy on them.
They are easy on all trucks he just made it difficult
put it in drive for thr DRL to come one!
Oh my God bro you have to put the truck in gear for the daytime running light 😂
Would love to have these, inherited my dad's truck a year ago. A 2011 Silverado, fixing all the issues it had. Fixed the driver's lower seat frame, driver's seat switch, brake switch and other little issues.
Keep on fixing her up. I have my original 07 tahoe that ended up being my son’s first car in HS. He’s serving in the Navy right now but still talks about his “old man’s” truck and his memories with it. My plan is to completely rebuild it and give it to him when he gets home for good. Your dad would be proud that you’re keeping his rig rolling.
My 08 Cadillac Escalade would definitely enjoy them
Does this mean I won
Bro, you gotta install the Platinum exterior and a Platinum Interior in your Escalade
Always enjoy the videos, Matt! It's always the small jobs that turn into a pain in the butt. Nice to see you always figure it out and show so much how to ang the way.
Hey Matt … we learn something new everyday….. I could use the lights on my 07 Tahoe 😊
I was happy when I saw that you bought one of these Escalades. Thanks for the in depth content on how to do it. Some new LEDs would be nice vs buying new HIDs.
D1S led conversion is the way to go
LOOOOVE this GMT900 content.
You've been just pumping out content lately, awesome!
I wish aftermarket LEDs were legal here, the halogens in my 95 Caprice are the most garbage candles I've ever witnessed. Though no oncoming unadjusted supernovas either.
🤣🤣 Sorry @lsXmatt I have a 08 Escalade & was yelling at my phone for you to take the headlight out 🤣 It’s just much easier than wasting time.
I have an 07 Escalade as well and would like the lights.
The big bright LED flashlight on the sensor always worked for me when testing DRL. I’ve had alot of gmt-900s currently 2008 Silverado LTZ
Bruh I need those puppies for my wife’s 07 Escalade. The ballast went out in the drivers side lamp and she’s been on me to fix it for dayyyys. Also when I pulled the headlight out to try and diagnose I didn’t pull the grille off at all and trying to get that thing out and back in almost made me sell the truck. Could have changed the bulb in my 02 Denali 20 times in the time it took me.
LED fan will circulate hot air inside that small sealed box lol.
Great video Matt. I'm working on a 2007 Tahoe.
I have 187k on my Tahoe - still running strong
My gmt800 escalade uses those d1s bulbs its interesting setup! And i was just bout to say that it has to be in gear for them to come on
You're supposed to de pin ballast out of the main headlight connector and put the new led harness in there, thats why it has pins on it
Ahh makes sense.
I was saying that as he cut the wires 🤦
Lol….. you sound like me when I’m working on my vehicle or when I’m at work…. Except without the swearing 😂😂😂
The cerakote headlight restoration kit is unreal for less than $20. As close to brand new as you’re going to get without the hassle of actually polishing out the lenses.
just used this today on my headlights! worked perfectly!!
Hey Matt great video. I could use the LED's for my Silverado. Love the content
I love Xenon
You made that way harder then what it could ever be 😂
Lasfit FTW
I need some leds for the wife’s 07 Escalade. Love your suv videos
I have a 2009 Tahoe z71 with 212k on the clock... I could use them for mine!
Freaking love lasfit great product and customer service! Just used your code and got a couple things I've wanted to get for a while now thanks for the 8 bucks off!
I converted my C6 'Vette's Xenon bulbs to D1S LEDs too. one burned out within 5 minutes. i put the stockers back in and sent them back. probably just bad luck but i know the crazy high voltage required to ignite a xenon bulb has gotta be hard on LEDs (the kit i bought retained the balast)... ill upgrade to Morimotos eventually
Working on my 2013 Cadillac Escalade ext would love to upgrade my lights
Ran into the SAME issue with my 07 Yukon Denali….
I need more magic mullet!!!!
The previous owner of my 05 Suburban Z71 4x4 did not take care of the engine. It had 350k miles when i bought it, supposedly the trans was rebuilt less than 1 year before I bought it, trans is working great so far. The engine is tired tho. Smokes blue under hard acceleration and lacks power. Im going with new replacement long block. My question is should i go back with a new 5.3L or should i opt for the 6.0L? I plan on doing long distance towing of future project vehicles that will need complete restoration/building/mods. Heavy boats like 60s Impalas and Cadillacs. Picked Burb up for just $2300 online after watching Tahiti. I plan to overland it and simple camp inside of it. I also found an 07 Yukon SLT 4x4 for just $2500 that will be my daily "bro build" lifted 37s" cadillac taillights(going for modern take on the 70s-80s K5 gen with steelies no stance wheels, until i get another econobox maybe older impala, been thinking LS4 swapping one and making it bulletproof due to weak FWD. Is that a good idea or a terrible idea? Let me know please😂
God Bless!!!
Escalade engines make great 3rd gen swaps
Matt I could use those extra lasfit conversion kit on my 07 escalade just like urs...and ur DRL come on when u shift into gear
Gezzz, I’ll keep my 04 Suburban…
2 pins and the whole thing comes out…😊
I know 🤦♂️
Love the videos I'm always learning something new! Would those leds work on a 2008 corvette to change the original lights to leds. They look the same as your Escalades.
Yea they should if it’s the same bulb. Just put your make and model in the website and see what kit your car takes to confirm.
are those the best LEDs? i’m not sure but they look good looks like i found a new project too hopefully not the stress you faced
I have a 2010 4.3 v6 chevy silverado 1500 that I am slowly working on. If the bulbs you are giving away would fit I would love to have them. Thanks, Matt.
Could use the leds in my Avalanche!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
NICE TO SEE SOMEONE JUST AS MAD AS I WAS.
GET RID OF IT IT DOESNT GET BETTER
I’d like to get a chance to get those lights
Can u do night time drive review
Hi / Lo beam is same scheme as the Astra's.
Might have to get some HID to LED conversion for my ATS-V. The hid’s suck in this car.
I’m interested in seeing how these perform in the rain. Every set of LEDs I have installed end up coming right out because the output sucks in the rain. Always end up going back to HIDs.
Haven’t used them in the rain yet but at night there hasn’t been a difference from the stock lights, at least as far as being worse.
LEDs are generally a downgrade as far as light output. The arc inside the capsule is brighter than any phosphorus can do
Done replacement on a 2006 DTS DeVille, another pain in the Arse....
Fun fact, 2009 escalade platinums have factory LED Or 2011, they can't currently number.
Did not know that or the fuses can be out
I need these led's for my 07 Escalade 😂
Funnily enough im working on a friend's escalade and he said he'd be down to upgrade to leds if you're giving em away
thats how i feel on my sisters 07 tahoe damn things fights me but my 05 just like tahiti is great she known to work wit me cause she in for upgrades lol 😂
If this would have been a gmt800, the whole video would have been 47 seconds long 😂
As a diy mechanic the thing I hate the most is changing bulbs and wipers lol
Matt "Should be an easy install"
Matt "No way am I taking these headlights out"
Many hours and curses later. DONE. We've all been there
It’s funny how you mention that your Escalade hates you, Matt. I picked up a very nice 06 Escalade back in December, and I swear it hates me too. I’m no stranger to the GMT800 platform, but she seems to be fighting me every step of the way😭
I wonder how these perform in the rain, the stock bulbs in my 08 are one of if not the worst bulbs in the rain I've ever dealt with.
😂 wow I enjoyed watching you be confused. Daytime only come in gear, just like the gmt800
it's always the simplest (in theory) jobs that take the longest
Pretty sure those daytime running lights aren't working because you put in LEDs. Try regular bulbs and they'll probably work. I have a 2003 Tahoe just like yours. I've been watching your channel just because of Tahiti. You gave me lots of ideas and thank you. Save me with a couple of the general repairs as well like the connectors for the heater core etc. But anyways, I tried to put LEDs in mine and they wouldn't work. Regular bulbs did. They probably need some sort of resistors attached to them just like I mentioned to my LED tail lights did to work a couple videos back. I really didn't feel like trying to figure out what I needed to do to get the LEDs working. So who knows maybe if you take the time to figure it out you can share it with all of us. Otherwise do the daytime running lights really mean that much? 🤷
And I just saw your comment about the truck being in gear. That's weird I wonder if my Tahoe will do the same thing? But I don't think so... 🤔
The daytime light turns on when you put the drive into gear.
I Had A Bumper That Wouldn't Come Off Today On One Side. Ended Up Putting Two Dents In The Fender Because It Wouldn't Fucking Release Off The Bracket. Other Side Came Right Off
❤❤❤❤❤❤
But I am trying to win them lights because I really need them
Aren't u the guy that had the Tahoe?
Z-71, what happened to it?
Nooo different guy, he’s a better mechanic.
I want to swap all the lights in my gmt800 for LEDs but dont want to blind people. I'm looking for LEDs that emulate the soft white color of halogens. From what I've seen, nobody really makes what im looking for. Has anyone heard of a product like this?
You want a 4300-5000 Kelvin light.
Dude, take off that watch!
I don't believe that Osram bulbs were OEM.
DRL need….light on the sensor ebrake off car in gear
You shoulda hit that bulb with your purse.
The days when you talk to inanimate objects and expect a response… I haven’t laughed so hard at how dumb we all can be. (I don’t want to remove these headlights, no…) 30 minutes later, eff it. Bastards are coming out.
Upgrade to the platinum housings if you got money, burning a hole in your wallet
Whats the difference over the regular housings?
I'm halfway through this video and i'm so fucking confused
As was I
I love your videos matt, been a sub for a long time...but man my head hurts after watching this... you made it so damn difficult on yourself. Those xenon bulbs are factory...and xenon bulbs are junk. Led bulbs suck too, especially headlights because you're going to be that person that blinds you on the road. If you cant see with normal halogen bulbs, shouldn't be driving in the dark. My 13 Cruze LTZ RS has regular halogen bulbs and i never use my brights. I'd have wired in halogens.
Also marker bulbs should be amber, not white. I'm a car guy but I hate the people behind me or coming at me using the bright ass bulbs and they are blinding...should be illegal. Stick with regular fog lights. Extra bright lights are unnecessary
Led’s are absolutely fine in a projector housing. Putting them in a halogen housing is a different story.
@@lsXmatt doesn't matter if it's projector housings or not, they are still ungodly blinding. Because almost every car over the last 10 plus years has "projector" housings
I’ll take LEDs over factory any day beside newer cars come LEDs anyway so why not do the upgrade on a older vehicle
@@jorr4744 and you're an asshole who likes to blind other drivers. Led headlights are way too damn bright and are highly blinding. I shouldn't have to use my day night mirror because people feel they need led headlights to see at night. If you can't see using halogen bulbs, you need to stay off the road at night. Been driving for 18 years, bought and fixed and sold over 200 cars myself and I can see perfectly clear with halogen bulbs, even on cars with cloudy headlight housings.
@@thagerdorn2009May I suggest that maybe you need some glasses that will reduce headlight glare?
Escalade headlights are always fun. Not!
In for any shocks I can use on my 2003 Chevy Suburban. I have a suspension issue. I have a feeling that shocks are the issue but I'd like to test before I commit to getting the good Bilstein.
🪴Morimoto might have something better possibly a competitor you might have even better LED & headlight assembly.
3M headlight restoration that uses a drill works the McGuire's wax and polish will bring it all back better way better with a diamond luxurious sparkle.
There are a type of Brillo pad numbers 0000 0001 at Ace hardware or true value to clean chrome works incredible don't need soap and water but can help dawn.Renegade pro red metal polish works incredibly well.Sometimes it can what happens the wheels turn a white film where they look silver white and impossible to change.Even doubt that the wheels are even chrome in the 1st place in seconds you will have chrome wheels again now with a chrome plating there highly likely a microscopic film on the outer layer and that's where the polish will come in handy what you can't see.
Same attention to the windows to bring out a shinning luster of appeal that can not be denied.Wheel spacers and to get the chrome wheels to be better defined blacken the inner part of the wheels and wet sand the paint. You really only need a mechanical quick shift and a higher stall speed torque converter if a super charger is in the plans go black everything black chrome for the wheels to attract a uber driver purchase.
The interior I forgot oops 🪇 a brilliant red vinyl wrap that's my thoughts.Specifcly for LEDs finding thoughs that have a slight mixer of colors that mimic the sparkle of diamonds could be a good find.
