I just traded in my '15 for a '16 GMC 2500HD. Delivery Feb 1st.
On my '15 I had installed HID's all around.
While test driving the '16 I noticed a big difference with the lights; much dimmer than my '15.
I already purchased some Putco LED fogs.
Has anyone upgraded or changed the HID bulbs on the '16?
I was wondering the same thing because I'm trading in my 2015 2500 for a 2016 3500 Dually and I want to change my headlights. I've been waiting since November 4 for my truck and gmc will building my truck on February 2 so hopefully I have it by the middle of February.
So I received my '16 Denali yesterday and after driving last night with the new for 2016 HID headlights, I'm impressed.
I will not be changing them.
However, the fog lights remain the same; using halogen bulbs.
So, I'll be installing Putco LED foglights at the same time the AMP Power Steps are installed (taken from my traded in 2015)
TRS - the retrofit source has an excellent kit for our trucks, slightly different for sierra/silverado. Choice of K rating and either 35w or 55w. Comes with double relay and resistor, totally plug and play. They are bright as hell in my stock '15 projectors and put my Touareg's stock bi-xenon's to shame except that they don't turn when cornering.
Fast headlights, who offers the same kit as TRS, also makes a sweet adapter that will allow you to replace your stock projectors with Morimoto FX-R Bi-xenon projectors. These projectors really put to shame almost all OEM projectors as far as clarity/cutoff, and since they are bi-xenon you can change your high's to any number of other/brighter options.
I am 100% satisfied with the TRS HID kit for silverado spec, 55w/6000k. I do not feel the need to spend more money on "better" projectors.
I am aware they do. I was unaware until just now the thread was specific to '16s. However, the FX-R would still be an improvement should any wish to look into it. Just sharing some knowledge.
Retrofitting a headlight will have no effect on your warranty. Only the warranty of the headlights themselves under your bumper to bumper 3/36k. If you're gonna do it, do it! They look sweet
Sold! Thanks for the pics Ron! I will be ordering a pair today!
