I’ve got an 08 Silverado and I’ve put on the same headlights. Spyder makes matching taillights too, they’re the “C shape” style ones like on the latest GMCs. Looks really updated with the light upgrade 👍
Great video. I'm gonna be getting these for my 2007 Silverado 6.0L vortec Max she has 300,000 miles and still running perfect. I adore your videos keep them coming
I have a rough Country build on my 2011 Silverado and the trucks red with the bumpers and running boards black . I seen these black head lights today and they come with the matching tail lights . Can’t wait to get these on my truck they are awesome . Nice video
I’ve read a lot of comments on amazon of the headlights and tail lights that are on your truck because I was looking into getting them, and a handful of people were saying they experience water getting in them. Do you have any problem with that ?
Love your vids Lonestar!!!! I have been working hard on the Silverado and you help take these trucks to the next level!!! I have these lights coming in. I know you took the suggestions on the led bulbs; are you going with them? If so what did you pick I’ll follow your lead!!!! Thanks for all you do amazing job with the vids!!!! Just amazing!!!
I have an 7 Silverado! It's the classic body though, so they had switched to your body style but kept the cat eye model and named it the classic. About to be a new bed on it, nothing like wet paint
Loving your videos! Just bought an '07 Silverado!! Just replaced my tail lights and cargo lights with Spyder Black LED Tail Lights! Might have to complement them with this set of headlights!
nice! was it brown wires on both sides (passenger and driver)? , also on our trucks when you switch the truck into gear the headlight automatically comes on, did you disengage that?
Is it true that those lights do not look good at night for his visibility and also I read that if you have a lift on your truck it's going to suck because there is no way to adjust them is this also true before I purchase them you didn't show your vehicle at night
So I bought the Angel eye version of these lights. I wired them directly to the Truck wiring Harness. I took the White positive wire, and tapped into the brown wire with the white stripe going down the middle of it. I did the same on the opposite side. The halos Come on automatically with My DRLs. Did I wire them incorrectly? I know they say wire them into your parking lights, but doesn’t that mean that you would just be able to turn on your halos, and not your low beams along with your Halos? Did I wire mine wrong? I have the same color truck 2008 Blue silverado 1500. 6” BDS lift. 35”Nitto ridge grappler Tires. 20x10 Moto metal wheels. Smoked Tail lights, smoked 3rd Brake light. Smoked Spyder Projector CCFL Headlights.
Just bought mine a week ago and on there now and they look amazing on my 2500HD. Black and brown thanks you! Switch out the enitre truck bulds to LEDs and wow what a difference.
Sergio Flex5 awesome thanks for replying back!! I’m trying to look for some head lights for my ‘08 Silverado but they say the lighting from the low beam is terrible. After installing LEDs how was the lighting? What were your steps on installing them?
@@martinchavez2490 The lighting did suck with the holgen h1 bulbs. That's why I went with 65w or *Pure White L.E.D... For the most part like it say in the video having to tap in the wires to make the DRLs run. I went to Advance Auto to go buy some taps and of course undo your grill you know that. It was pretty easy. Umm I leaving one big thing out i had to notch out the radiator frame to fit the L.E.D fan. But all and all the work took me about 30 mins removing the old head lights and putting all new aftermarket parts. Plus I went with 20k lumens for fog lights so it was Stupid bright with all 6 lights running lows highs and fog. Look up BOOST AUTO PARTS...and you can do the same thing to get all 6 running.
I replaced my headlamps on my 2009 GMC recently. My truck only has 2 bolts at the top and 1 on the side. This sucks that you had to remove the grill to get to that 4th bolt. Those clamps are hard to remove without breaking the plastic tabs. Glad I didn't buy a Chevrolet. In the end, the headlamps turned out to look fantastic on this truck.
Those are awesome!!! I cant wait to get started on my 2010 model same color and everything!! I think I will black it out tho seen a newer model blacked out and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!
Durning the daylight in park and running parking lights are on, once I put truck in drive parking lights go out, there for LED bar goes out, only low beams on. Any advice?
Next should get a 2013 LTZ grill it has the split in the middle that would follow the lines of the day time running lights .Then just color match it to your pain and you’d be ready to go
I love the truck,looks really nice,the only thing I would change is the antenna :).. you can get nice 5-7” antenna on eBay for 20$ and less.. looks nice on those trucks.
Wouldn’t wiring it this way disable the auto DRL function (aka turning on when the truck is in a drive or reverse) and you would need to switch your headlight dial to parking lamps every time you get in to activate the DRL since the parking lights don’t come on with the DRL?
Is there a way to have those amber bulbs off while the drl is on? So if you have your lights set to auto on the dash do the led bars go out once the headlights come on?
I have the same rims on my 14 tundra! Your truck looks awesome bro. I also have spyder headlights and about to add led bulbs on them. How do you like the stock bulbs? Are you planning to put led or hids?
Yea but will those h1 led bulbs fit in these housings? I've got the ccfl halo projectors and ordered led h1s and they bulbs were slightly bigger than the halogen h1 bulbs.
Being wired into the parking lights requires manually turning them on each time correct? Do they stay on when you turn the headlights on? I just purchased a set and was a little disappointed that they came with virtually no instructions from Spyder.
I've since rewired them into the headlamps so they are on all the time. Unfortunately there isn't a way to disconnect the headlamp from running as the DRL & Low beam. It all one power source.
I just got my headlights in the mail!! But does the daytime running lights turn off when the headlights come on? Do you have to turn the headlights on manually? The factory headlights I have now, I can’t turn off the daytime running lights.. Im just kind of confused and want to make sure my headlights will turn on when I install these new headlights. Thank you for your time! I have a 2013
Hey brotha just curious where you got the American flag you have on your driver side door. Looks really cool and I’m thinking about getting one for my truck
I've changed my head light housings twice now and I haven't seen that design! I think the next set I buy I'll have to get a set of those! Are they still holding up nice?
Nice video came in handy I need to remove the front grill soon , so I have a 2012 and recently hit the 100,000 miles point any recommendation? I been told spark plugs. Thanks again i hit the sub button
I actually bought those same headlamps for my truck, but I had to send them back because, my dad got me led bulbs for Christmas. The problem was that you can't use stock bulbs on any headlight housings with halo lights! Which is BS, I don't why they manufacture them that way!
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN okay.because i have a set i Just bought with projectors and the back of the bulb damn near hits the core support..id like to buy a set that allows more room for h.i.d.s
should have wired them to an ignition source, daytime running lamps run with ignition, not with parking light. Now you have to have your parking lights on to use them
Too bad you didn't show how you hooked up the LED wiring to those black and brown ones that would've been more helpful tbh. My issue in how I am going to do it myself right now
What is the quality of light output and beam pattern of these lights? I'm heavily considering them for my 08 but I'm afraid of buying nice looking lights with terrible output.
Steven Coffman I’ve got them on my 08 Silverado and they’re really bright, but keep in mind that the lights do have to be adjusted. Out of the box, my left one was sticking to the side and the right was pointed upwards. It’s kinda tricky, but finding level ground and doing the adjustment really makes these lights amazing. I know because some reviews on Amazon were posting that the output was dim, but I found that proper adjustment goes a long way.
dannySRT6.4 did you change bulbs before install and adjustment, I imagine the supplied bulbs are less than ideal but I'm not sure if I should go the route of HIDs. Or LEDs because they sometimes turn out worse in non HID projectors.
Hate to revive this question but I'm curious now that you've had them a couple months are they still worth the money? And have you had any issues running the HIDs in the projector?
I've watch 3 or 4 videos more than once before attempting this install. Everything seemed to work except the Halo and LEDs do not come on as DRLs. The come on when I turn the lights on but not as DRL. Any advice?
only thing i hate of these is the cheap conversion to h1 bulbs. you cant reuse oem bulbs or sockets. you have to use the cheap female terminals on there.
Cherry Bomb extreme muffler. As for the leveling kit, if I were to do it again I wouldn't go over 2- 2.5". The 3.5" kit I have compromises the suspension geometry.
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN i really like the looks, but i had a set of spyders on my old vehicle and hated them they didn't shine off to the side enough. If you could do a video while driving at night on these i would appreciate it.
Hey buddy you forgot to show what the lights looked like on! Are they better then stock as far as brightness goes? How do you like them now?
I’ve got an 08 Silverado and I’ve put on the same headlights. Spyder makes matching taillights too, they’re the “C shape” style ones like on the latest GMCs. Looks really updated with the light upgrade 👍
Great video. I'm gonna be getting these for my 2007 Silverado 6.0L vortec Max she has 300,000 miles and still running perfect. I adore your videos keep them coming
incase anyone wants to know, the 4 screws holding the grill on are also 10mm
Black out grill and bumper next! Try the plasti dip first to be sure! Nice truck man!
I have a rough Country build on my 2011 Silverado and the trucks red with the bumpers and running boards black . I seen these black head lights today and they come with the matching tail lights . Can’t wait to get these on my truck they are awesome . Nice video
that is one RAD lookin truck mod .. dang that sunset is epic .. thanks for sharing
NSLAS Shore Chinese buffet on 2002 Hyundai Elantra show me swap out on 2002 Hyundai Elantra front strut assembly
I'm a Ford guy but that is a damn nice truck. love the headlights, beautiful addition to a beautiful truck!
Wire the DRLs to a fuse (add a fuse) that only gets power with ignition, no need to do anything, just like factory.
Flipdodge 392 wired mine to the turn signals they work fine check em out th-cam.com/video/CmQWHz6evTo/w-d-xo.html
Just got mine today. Hopefully we will be able to get them installed today. Can’t wait!!!
Perfect timing man, I'm just about to get my new headlights in the mail. Mine are halos with LED bulbs
Best mod yet to the truck
I’ve read a lot of comments on amazon of the headlights and tail lights that are on your truck because I was looking into getting them, and a handful of people were saying they experience water getting in them. Do you have any problem with that ?
Your truck looks exactly like mine, I like this channel because your truck is realistic and the upgrades are reasonable.
Love your vids Lonestar!!!! I have been working hard on the Silverado and you help take these trucks to the next level!!! I have these lights coming in. I know you took the suggestions on the led bulbs; are you going with them? If so what did you pick I’ll follow your lead!!!! Thanks for all you do amazing job with the vids!!!! Just amazing!!!
One other question, do the head lamps auto turn on once it gets dark like normal? Or swapping these changes that?
Man hope you and the fam are ok and not affected by eruptions
The headlights look good 👍🏼
Those lights are 🔥🔥
I bought a 2015 and literally 2 months after I did I started noticing the 16 Silverados with the LED lights I was pissed.
That's a bummer...
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN isn’t that how it always goes lol. Keep up the great content!
Bro same.... I’m annoyed.
Be doing my headlights on my 07 Vmax ... This is the kinda of video I've been looking for and now I know what lights to get. Subbed.
You should make them blink amber when turning and then switch back to white
I have an 7 Silverado! It's the classic body though, so they had switched to your body style but kept the cat eye model and named it the classic. About to be a new bed on it, nothing like wet paint
I've got 6k HIDS and led turn signal switch backs from Diode Dynamics and smoked led tail lights
Can u show us how you spliced the led? Is there a quick connect you made so u can separate the housing
Loving your videos! Just bought an '07 Silverado!! Just replaced my tail lights and cargo lights with Spyder Black LED Tail Lights! Might have to complement them with this set of headlights!
thanks for the brake down on the wiring did it exactly how you did and everything is lovely
Hit that chrome with a clay bar real quick. Sweet truck man nice lights!
Can you add led low beams to the headlights. I have them in my factory headlamps now and look brighter than the projectors in the spyders
nice! was it brown wires on both sides (passenger and driver)? , also on our trucks when you switch the truck into gear the headlight automatically comes on, did you disengage that?
two years later, how are your LEDs holding up since hard wiring them into the parking lamps?
They worked fine until I swapped out the headlights for AphaRex USA's
Nice truck bro. What's next ?? Double sunroof or HD FRONT END 😀 would be nice
Is it true that those lights do not look good at night for his visibility and also I read that if you have a lift on your truck it's going to suck because there is no way to adjust them is this also true before I purchase them you didn't show your vehicle at night

Keep up the great work brotha!
Awesome video mine come this week! Can’t wait thank you for the video 👍🏽
have you had any water or moisture get inside of these headlights???
Just bought mine a week ago and on there now and they look amazing on my 2500HD. Black and brown thanks you! Switch out the enitre truck bulds to LEDs and wow what a difference.
hey were you able to switch the halogens to LED's?
@@martinchavez2490 Yes I switched them. But I sold them to a buddy. Awesome lights tho.
Sergio Flex5 awesome thanks for replying back!! I’m trying to look for some head lights for my ‘08 Silverado but they say the lighting from the low beam is terrible. After installing LEDs how was the lighting? What were your steps on installing them?

I see a lot of silverado's and lifted too .. Over here at deep south Texas
how do they look at night? i had a pair of projectors and my regular headlights were brighter than my brights.
Next should get a 2013 LTZ grill it has the split in the middle that would follow the lines of the day time running lights .Then just color match it to your pain and you’d be ready to go
Live your channel bro. I wanna start my own channel now!! Keep up the good work bro!!
I love the truck,looks really nice,the only thing I would change is the antenna :).. you can get nice 5-7” antenna on eBay for 20$ and less.. looks nice on those trucks.
The front license frame is removable
U need tail lights to match . Truck looks awesome
Ltz color matched grill or get chrome painted
Wouldn’t wiring it this way disable the auto DRL function (aka turning on when the truck is in a drive or reverse) and you would need to switch your headlight dial to parking lamps every time you get in to activate the DRL since the parking lights don’t come on with the DRL?
Parking lights do coke on with the truck they are DRL just as the stock low beams are too
how do you disable the low beams so they don't come on when shifting into gear?
Great job brother
Is there a way to have those amber bulbs off while the drl is on? So if you have your lights set to auto on the dash do the led bars go out once the headlights come on?
How are the wires spliced and which ones wires did you use?
Did you use the bulbs that came with the aftermarket ones or did you install different bulbs?
This video - was the bulbs that came with the housing from Spyder
I have the same rims on my 14 tundra! Your truck looks awesome bro. I also have spyder headlights and about to add led bulbs on them. How do you like the stock bulbs? Are you planning to put led or hids?
That would match a LTZ grill nicely.
Throw on a led 6k for your projector and swap out your turn signals with leds 👍🏻
Kody Moncada love this idea. Any specific products/brands you suggest?
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN cougar led bulbs off amazon. I run these and they are fairly cheap & super bright!
Yea but will those h1 led bulbs fit in these housings? I've got the ccfl halo projectors and ordered led h1s and they bulbs were slightly bigger than the halogen h1 bulbs.
Being wired into the parking lights requires manually turning them on each time correct? Do they stay on when you turn the headlights on? I just purchased a set and was a little disappointed that they came with virtually no instructions from Spyder.

@@LonestarHawaiian Did you use one of the add a fuse and run off a 10 amp fuse or from the actual headlight harness wiring?
Nice video and nice truck! I’m installing some of these on my 2010 raptor. Have you tried installing LED bulbs for the projectors? Thanks in advance
Quick question do those lights ever turn yellow or fog up on you ?
I just got my headlights in the mail!! But does the daytime running lights turn off when the headlights come on? Do you have to turn the headlights on manually? The factory headlights I have now, I can’t turn off the daytime running lights.. Im just kind of confused and want to make sure my headlights will turn on when I install these new headlights. Thank you for your time! I have a 2013
looking cool I'm trying to order it but they don't ship to my area
if you can record a video at night (Dark time) to see the brightness
Upcoming. Looking at swapping out the bulbs soon
Hey brotha just curious where you got the American flag you have on your driver side door. Looks really cool and I’m thinking about getting one for my truck

I've changed my head light housings twice now and I haven't seen that design! I think the next set I buy I'll have to get a set of those! Are they still holding up nice?
So far so good. I can tell the plastic isn't as thick and durable... but no problems so far.
@@LonestarHawaiian sorry for the late reply didnt know you replied but thanks for the response!
What’s next? A new dash. I’m about to replace my dash due to the ridiculous cracking.
I replaced mine with Spyder LEDs, didn't have to remove the grille. Your the 3rd person that say you have to remove the grille.
Nice video came in handy I need to remove the front grill soon , so I have a 2012 and recently hit the 100,000 miles point any recommendation? I been told spark plugs. Thanks again i hit the sub button
Will you be working on the dash next?
i didnt see you use resistors for either side does it need them?
Looks good bro!!!
How do you keep your engine bay so clean?
Haloha bro love ur Chanel, I have 2007 Chevy avalanche will those light fit my truck?
Howzit. I believe the avalanche's have a different front end so i'm not sure....
I actually bought those same headlamps for my truck, but I had to send them back because, my dad got me led bulbs for Christmas. The problem was that you can't use stock bulbs on any headlight housings with halo lights! Which is BS, I don't why they manufacture them that way!
Am i the only one not finding the video, where you try the leds??
What kind of lift do you have on your truck? Nice video!
He has a 3.5 inch
Truck looks sick dude !!! And where do you get the liquid venom at ?
Got it from a shop in Southern California. I believe you can purchase it online.
Damn .i have the same truck but its not quite that clean.but how close is the back of the projector to the core support?
Headlights relatively shallow. Next time I pull it off i'll take a closer look.
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN okay.because i have a set i Just bought with projectors and the back of the bulb damn near hits the core support..id like to buy a set that allows more room for h.i.d.s
Nellis as in AFB??
Love your content man what editing software are you using I’m trying to up the content quality on my channel
Just using basic imovie right now... pain in the butt to be honest.
What lift brand are you running and how many inches of lift?
should have wired them to an ignition source, daytime running lamps run with ignition, not with parking light. Now you have to have your parking lights on to use them
So just hook up red and black headlight wires to brown and black truck harness?
Depends on when you want the LEDs on. I hooked them to the parking lamps
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN which color is the wire for the parking lamps?
Too bad you didn't show how you hooked up the LED wiring to those black and brown ones that would've been more helpful tbh. My issue in how I am going to do it myself right now
How is the volcano going over there
Slowly but surely.
I have that same punisher logo across the back window of my 18 Silverado. Good looking pickup bud
What is the quality of light output and beam pattern of these lights? I'm heavily considering them for my 08 but I'm afraid of buying nice looking lights with terrible output.

Steven Coffman I put white HIDs for the projector and amber LEDs for sidemarker/turn signal lights
Hate to revive this question but I'm curious now that you've had them a couple months are they still worth the money? And have you had any issues running the HIDs in the projector?
Hey thanks for the videos! Do the running lights stay on the whole time the truck is turned on? Or do they only turn on at night?
It’s in the name brotha. “Day Time running lights.” Lmaoo
Love the truck man..was wondering if she gave you any lifter issues ??
None so far.
I've watch 3 or 4 videos more than once before attempting this install. Everything seemed to work except the Halo and LEDs do not come on as DRLs. The come on when I turn the lights on but not as DRL. Any advice?
I have the exact same color truck your truck is sick
Got mine today and they came with high beam plug on top on the left and on the bottom on the right clips was broke fitment freaking sucked
Looks good!
Any condensation?
None yet.
only thing i hate of these is the cheap conversion to h1 bulbs. you cant reuse oem bulbs or sockets. you have to use the cheap female terminals on there.
Never say cant.
What kind of exhaust do you have? I have a 2012 Silverado 1500 LT and I want it to roar lol
great video.. thanks.. from texas..
I have an 07 Silverado and i was wondering what type of exhaust you got under yours also what’s the bet type of leveling kit to buy
Cherry Bomb extreme muffler. As for the leveling kit, if I were to do it again I wouldn't go over 2- 2.5". The 3.5" kit I have compromises the suspension geometry.
LoneStar Hawaiian oh ok I have Super 44 Flowmaster under mine and thanks for the advice
LoneStar Hawaiian Is your trucks suspension very stiff
Are the actual headlights bright? Stock bright?
headlights are comparable to stock brightness. I'm planning on swapping out the bulbs to LEDs soon to increase brightness.
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN definitely waiting for that video to see the brightness
LONESTAR HAWAIIAN i really like the looks, but i had a set of spyders on my old vehicle and hated them they didn't shine off to the side enough. If you could do a video while driving at night on these i would appreciate it.
Nice job but you didnt show them on..! But they do look SWEET..👍
Do a video on your exhaust
Hey lonestar, I was wondering what kind of light bulbs you are running with your projector headlights?
Damian Jackson h1 fanless check mine out th-cam.com/video/CmQWHz6evTo/w-d-xo.html
Ayyy ima have yo get these for my midnight blue silverado 😀
What color wire was the one you connected the drls?
