I have had good luck with JDM Astar bulbs. Sometimes the plug sizing seems a bit oversized and it's difficult to fit, but once installed they seem to last well. I've had one bad out of the box which they quickly replaced, but the rest have lasted 2+ years. I'm using them in DRL and backup lights on my Sierra, and the DRL/Turn Signals on my 2000 Trans Am. Overall I've been satisfied and will buy them again. The ones I use are on Amazon: "JDM ASTAR 1200 Lumens Extremely Bright 144-EX Chipsets 3056 3156 3057 3157 LED Bulbs with Projector for Backup Reverse Lights, Xenon White"
@@1RoadGarage You sure that Suburban is supposed to get the 3157 bulbs? Those are CAN Bus bulbs I do believe. I don't think a 2003 is CAN Bus equipped which can do a lot of things to your vehicle. Sounds like you need the 4114 bulb. Same size and socket but the 4114 is not CAN Bus equipped. Swap them out and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
@Island Mike As mentioned, it can cause the bulbs to burn out quick. That's the least of the problems though. It can also mess up electronics and cost a lot of money.
@Island Mike If it is not designed for it, that's how it could cause problems. The CAN Bus (Controller-Area-Network) is designed for more advanced computers on vehicles. Using non CAN bulbs can cause false "bulb out" indicators on the vehicle and cause circuitry issues. It's kind of like using a pocket knife as a screwdriver. Sure, it'll fit but don't be surprised if you stab yourself or break the tip. Or using a TRS cable instead of a guitar cable in your amp. Again, it'll fit just the same but you'll get a lot of feedback and noise because a that cable is not designed for a guitar. Below is an excerpt from a LED website. If this doesn't answer your question, maybe Google will be of better help. "CAN Bus LED bulbs should not be used in non-CAN Bus applications because in most cases they can cause other vehicle circuits to have problems. Electrical systems are much like the flowing water in a river. If a log or other obstacle is placed in its path, the water backs up, but then finds another route. A CAN Bus LED bulb presents more resistance than the stock bulb due to built-in resistors and may cause feedback into other circuits in the non-CAN Bus electrical system."
We have a 2004 Suburban and I run into this issue frequently as do the others in my area. I have noticed that most of them have standing water inside the reflector assembly and it is the water that is shorting out the bulb. Keep an eye on that. The easiest fix is to drill a small drain hole in the bottom of the assembly. Once I drilled the hole I never had to replace a bulb again.
On both of my 2000 silverados all the sockets in the bumper lights except for drl's are fully corroded and new bulbs won't even fix them. Oh well I haven't had front turn signals in over fifteen years.
I’m a 74 yr old Grandma with a 2001 Silverado (I got it in ‘03). It’s got 274,000 miles on it and I think I’ve only replaced one bulb before. This time it’s a turn signal in the front and there is standing water in the lens. I really appreciate seeing that this is an issue for others and I will definitely try your fix. I’ve been wondering, what to do about getting that water out and then how to prevent it in the future, so, thank you very much!
@@TimLewallen it’s me again! So, I tore into the headlight and blinker assembly. It certainly wasn’t as easy to disconnect those plugs as the guy made it look, but I persevered! Water did drain out when it was laying on my bumper. I took your advice and drilled a tiny hole in the underside of the housing. I’ll have to wait to see if that works for the long-term, but all I know is my blinker is functioning beautifully! Hallelujah!
One note - if you replace the socket because it's burnt, be sure to get the correct DRL socket rather than a regular parking/turn signal lamp. It's electrically the same, but is keyed differently so only the DRL socket will plug into the DRL hole in the housing.
It's very easy to replace the 4114 sockets. I ordered two off of Amazon and instead of cutting and splicing the wife's you can pull the inner of the socket out and pull the wires and connectors out and slide them into the new assembly.
Finally someone who shows what I was actually trying to learn how to remove the daytime running light assembly I need to remove mine to hopefully be able to clean them up abit and make them more clear
Jimmy- please- do this (and any future) get a big tube of Dielectric Grease (not plain silicone paste, there is a difference) and put a small dab in each socket, then install the bulb. Relamping the ENTIRE vehicle (even dash) will dramatically reduce wear & tear on battery, alternator, belt, and associated wiring.
Hey Jimmy. I replaced everything to LED. It's great. Those old style bulbs do get hot. So I replaced everything with LED... turn signals, back up lights, everything amber and red. Had to replace the flasher though to one that can handle very low voltage. Nice upgrade though.
One thing to remember is to never touch your fingers or hands on the actual Led lights itself or it will burn out way faster from the greese. Ive purchased led bulbs from a different brand and they worked for YEARS. I put them in using gloves and a microbfiber towel.
@@EdPMur No no. I use to think the same thing but no. If you touch the LEDs with your bare hands they burn out way faster. There's a reason when you buy good led headlight bulbs they come with gloves in the box
One reason the 3157's keep blowing is they're the wrong bulb. It's supposed to take the 4114 which is physically interchangeable but a different rating than the 3157 (at least on my 2004 Sierra). That said, they bulbs put out a ton of heat that will degrade the socket and housing over time so swapping to LED's is definitely a good idea even if both are working with the correct bulbs.
The biggest problem is people using 3157 bulbs instead of the proper lower wattage cooler 4114 bulbs. Same socket, smaller wires, for the lower wattage daytime lights, leading to 3157 drawing too much power. One other piece you missed is that these bulbs/LEDs only work one way (polarity) and can burn out quickly if installed the wrong way. Bad design flaw of all these 3157 style bulbs.
Opinion: [for Mike] - LED will not "burn out quickly if installed the wrong way" because it will not "light" [or burn/heat] and if the LED does not light up it is of no use in the position it was placed by installer and it should be removed. If placed in "wrong polarity" nothing will be affected and the LED will not light up. Some LED units are polarity specific and some are not. Most LED units will be accompanied by information [written or other] which lists/indicates whether the unit is polarity specific.
Actually, it's not the 3157 bulb's fault. Those are designed for "dual purpose". They are used as parking lights (dim mode) and turn signal lights (bright mode). That's why they have two filaments. The bright mode is only supposed to be on intermittently when using the turn signal. All other times just the dimmer parking light. And even then, only at night. They were never intended to be used for "all the time on" driving. So yes, use the correct bulb, the 4114.
@@LA_Commander Absolutely. I'm surprised nobody knows this stuff anymore. I just changed out all my exterior bulbs to fresh correct bulbs on my 04 YukonXL. Love those amber 3157 indicator bulbs. But quick question: The 4114LL bulbs in the DRLamps are giving me trouble. I replaced the ambient light sensor. Checked fuses. Swapped out the relay. Can't seem to get the headlights to stop coming on in place of the DRLs. It has to be the diode under the dash just above the pedals.I don't see what else could be switching it over to the HeadLamps.
From what I heard and haven't actually checked out yeat on my suburban is these DTRL (day time running lights) are wired in series making them run with higher resistance making them look dimmer causing one of them to always burn out and the problem will be solved if they are wired in parallel.
Do the brake, tail lite bulb, if you live somewhere you have to sit with foot on brake a lot it cook's that socket too. LED for the daytime running is the best idea, that high wattage bulb in that little lite running during the day was not the best idea. What I didn't like on led's for back-up was most are 6000k which is very blue and even tho it was brighter didn't seem to contrast objects as well as a regular bulb, which are in the 3000k range of light. I find the back-up and turn signals run so infrequently they don't cause socket issues. The Zevo's seem to work really well for brake-tail. Good differential in brightness between the tail lite and brake. Some are very close in brightness between tail and brake. And if your brake lites double as turn signal some cheap 3157 led's bleed voltage and backfeed tail lites when brake or turn signal is engaged.
hasan al zaabi the front drl lights are supposed to be 4114 lights so they turn on when you put the vehicle in drive and hit the unlock button and also when your headlights come on.
I got an 2004 suburban and I’m getting the blacked up head lights and tail lights and I was wondering if those led lights you bought in the video would work on mine ? Just lmk as soon as possible if you don’t mind
My inner daytime running lights only come on when i unlock truck with alarm. The outer bulb run as my daytime running light. I wanna have all four on. Ima replace them with led bulbs
I have the same problem with my 2005 silverado they dont turn on even when i put it in drive, only when i unlock my truck with the alarm. did you figure out how to turn them on?
If you have your lights set on auto they should be on by default unless they have burned out. The stock bulbs are to hot and remain on all the time when your running so burned out bulbs are common.
You don't "turn them on". They come on automatically during the day when you put the vehicle in "drive" and take the parking brake off. These lights are not the same as your low beam headlights.
Did you have any fast blinker issue for 2003 Chevrolet Suburban after installing Yorkim LEDS? Did you have to install a flasher relay to solve the fast blinker issue?
Yes and no. The original bulbs are the ones he mentioned. GM put out a notice later on saying to move to 4114s. The vechicles have intermediate surges in the electrical systems that cause the bulbs to burn out.
How come my runnning day lights don't work I already put the LEDs yet they don't turn on I put them on perfectly what could the problem be help please it's a Chevy Tahoe 2002
These are the daytime running lights so they don't actually illuminate in the dark. When the headlights are on those turn off by default. I will be soon upgrading my standard headlights with some LED versions so stay tuned for that!
Yeah this is an old video but of the light is NOT always out. I've had my Yukon since new for almost 17 years and I have replaced those lights maybe 3 times 🙄 I'll put money on the 3157 bulb over any LED light you install 😜
Hello friend I was watching your video in the k you change the conventional DRL bulbs and you puciste some led but I want to help me brother brother I have a truck GMC saw 1999 5.3 SLT cabin and half what it has is that I do not know how to change the DRL mode is that when I switch on the main headlights and I want them to turn on the rooms as if you were using the led bulbs with magnifying glass help me xf if you can not with a video with a message please
@@elborracho8058 you are exactly right...the fast flicker is due to the vehicles computer not sensing proper resistance in the circuit after the installation of the LED bulbs which have much lower resistance than the OEM incandescent bulbs...good call
Hey 1Road cool video. When you start your 03 Burban do the main headlights come on? I've always thought that these were my DRLs lol. Evidently the ones in the parking light housing have never worked. I just put new LEDS in the parking housing and they still don't work. My blinker clicks faster but that doesn't bother me as much as it does for most. do you or anyone else in your comments know what may keeping the DRLs from working?
Hey thanks for the comment. I've posted an update to this video in the description. I no longer like these bulbs for constant-on situations like DRLs... They overheat and burn out very easily... I've since put the original style incandescent bulbs in the DRLs and have kept the LED version for reverse lights but not sure how long until I switch those back over too. Hope that helps.
They actually only project light in towards the reflector, so unless you have a reflector designed specifically for that type of bulb, they are actually dimmer than the stock incandescent bulbs. I know this from first hand experience.
I have the 02' sierra and i have 146,345 on 17 year old truck (purchased new in 2001) as of 12/2017 and still have and still using the orginal bulbs in and around truck, in fact I've only replaced the head lights for a better "Bright white" style bulb a few years ago , i replaced them while the orginals still worked but wanted brighter bulbs so i made the switch. One side of my license plare display bulbs finally went out 2 days ago so will be replacung the set today with some silverstars bright to display tags brighter and better.... Cops like to use the B.S excuse that they cant see tags which always makes me laugh because anything within 15ft behind a vehicle at night the vehicle behind headlights will brighten up display tags brightly so go figure. Anyway, guess i e been lucky but yea, i havent had any problems with bulb failer....knock on wood.
1 Road stock is 1,700 lumens 65 Watts. The 9011 bulb is 2,300 lumens 65 Watts. Should fit right in with no added heat. Just might require minor trimming of the one little tabs. Also you could try the 9012 in the low beams.
Just noticed your comment on Amazon regarding these bulbs and your problems with these bulbs burning out. Guess I am not ordering these bulbs now.

hasan al zaabi the front drl lights are supposed to be 4114 lights so they turn on when you put the vehicle in drive and hit the unlock button and also when your headlights come on.
Do you have the link to these bulbs? And do they come in a more yellow color?
In your other video you ramble on about not buying cheap LED light but this video you bought cheap ones. Which is it??
Just curious as to why you can get injured or die from this? Or is this just a general disclaimer?

i have the same "remove before flight" keychain! must be a 'burb owner thing. so how are the bulbs doing in the long term?
Mines been out too forever so Im gonna replace it. Thanks
I thought that burning was rust. I tried to clean it, but I could not. The burning was too deep.
Can I use the same LED lights not only on the daytime lights can I use them for the low beams and highbeam lights to?
Not the same bulbs. HID bulbs is what you will be looking for there.
How do you turn on your daytime running lights? (Low beams)
If you have your lights set on auto they should be on by default unless they have burned out. The stock bulbs are to hot and remain on all the time when your running so burned out bulbs are common.
How to you put your lights on auto? I did a headlight swap and they have led drls and I wired them to the regular drls and idk how to cut them on
Mine are on auto and still no luck after replacing bulbs? Maybe try sensor on dash is out?
You don't "turn them on". They come on automatically during the day when you put the vehicle in "drive" and take the parking brake off. These lights are not the same as your low beam headlights.
Did you have any fast blinker issue for 2003 Chevrolet Suburban after installing Yorkim LEDS?
Did you have to install a flasher relay to solve the fast blinker issue?
For the turn signal bulbs, you're better off using standard bulbs, not LED. For other lights such as DRL or headlights, LED is ok.
Can i use the 3157 led for both lamps?
For reverse lamps and day time running light?
Suhail Salim yes
They shorted out because you installed the wrong bulb. It takes a 4114 because it goes up to 14 volts.
Yes and no. The original bulbs are the ones he mentioned. GM put out a notice later on saying to move to 4114s. The vechicles have intermediate surges in the electrical systems that cause the bulbs to burn out.
How come my 3rd brake light doesn't work I already changed the fuse and I put a new led brake light yet it doesn't work
You should check the socket. They have a tendency to burn out. Past that the brake switch may not be working properly.

Flip the bulb around 90 degrees.they Can only work one way
Can we see how bright they are in the dark?
These are the daytime running lights so they don't actually illuminate in the dark. When the headlights are on those turn off by default. I will be soon upgrading my standard headlights with some LED versions so stay tuned for that!
The dash also has a sensor which deactivates them at night. They are literally "daytime running lights" only.
Do the led’s work for the headlights as well
Zo Pound yes they do, it’s just a different bulb. Hope that help

014Chevy did you find the issue?
Brian The Great yep I replaced all my bulbs and everything I works great idk why but idc
@@StahlFirearmsNo2 It is either your light sensor or a fuse ( if your lucky ) to look at then. You could also have burnt sockets.

Is there a way to keep em on, when you turn on the Headlights??
No, those running lights are intended for daytime use only, not at night when running the headlights.

Only happeneds while driving tho ? When the truck is off and try them they work fine
Cristian Toledo it flickers because of all the movement. Nothing to do with electrical contacts.
Try to add a 50 watt led load resistors that work for me
@@elborracho8058 you are exactly right...the fast flicker is due to the vehicles computer not sensing proper resistance in the circuit after the installation of the LED bulbs which have much lower resistance than the OEM incandescent bulbs...good call
Hey 1Road cool video. When you start your 03 Burban do the main headlights come on? I've always thought that these were my DRLs lol. Evidently the ones in the parking light housing have never worked. I just put new LEDS in the parking housing and they still don't work. My blinker clicks faster but that doesn't bother me as much as it does for most. do you or anyone else in your comments know what may keeping the DRLs from working?
I'm wrestling with this exact situation. It's the ambient light sensor located on the dashboard replace it and it will work like normal..
Jimmy, the reverse lights, great but did your lights go on with the headlights? Also, have you changed over the brake lights yet?
Hey thanks for the comment. I've posted an update to this video in the description. I no longer like these bulbs for constant-on situations like DRLs... They overheat and burn out very easily... I've since put the original style incandescent bulbs in the DRLs and have kept the LED version for reverse lights but not sure how long until I switch those back over too. Hope that helps.
What about the rest of your light bulbs aren’t you gonna replace em?
Does anyone know how the daytime running lights turn on on 2001 silverado?
usually when you are in drive they turn on by themselves if they don’t put it in auto turn on
I hear Sylvania ZEVOS are really great for exterior bulbs! I
They actually only project light in towards the reflector, so unless you have a reflector designed specifically for that type of bulb, they are actually dimmer than the stock incandescent bulbs. I know this from first hand experience.
@@MrLehi99 can confirm this as well😂.
Ima install the led switchback bulbs in my bumper lights
Its easier to remove the assembly versus wrestling with that tight space
anyone knows if this works on an 05 Tahoe?
Yes, it should
My dad has a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban LT that he bought in February of 2004
Nice vehicles. Not sure about thenews ones ... 🚐
i got a 95 k1500
i wish my head lights were that easy to take out😂
I have the 02' sierra and i have 146,345 on 17 year old truck (purchased new in 2001) as of 12/2017 and still have and still using the orginal bulbs in and around truck, in fact I've only replaced the head lights for a better "Bright white" style bulb a few years ago , i replaced them while the orginals still worked but wanted brighter bulbs so i made the switch. One side of my license plare display bulbs finally went out 2 days ago so will be replacung the set today with some silverstars bright to display tags brighter and better.... Cops like to use the B.S excuse that they cant see tags which always makes me laugh because anything within 15ft behind a vehicle at night the vehicle behind headlights will brighten up display tags brightly so go figure. Anyway, guess i e been lucky but yea, i havent had any problems with bulb failer....knock on wood.
Looks awesome, will upgrade my two burbs soon as well.
Dialectric grease in the socket.
Very helpful thanks
Thank you very much
The amber color is nicer and I use them from auto zone
Agree
Thank you. Very much.
One reason why ur old bulbs burn`t the sockets like that and go bad all time is because GM put to small of a wire size to the lights
Thanks for the link
I used these for the front center bar (3 bulbs) and my tail lights (6 bulbs per side) total of 15 for my car 1996 pontiac grand prix
You should swap out the 9005 high beam bulb with the 9011 bulb, a lot brighter.
I will look into that!!
1 Road stock is 1,700 lumens 65 Watts. The 9011 bulb is 2,300 lumens 65 Watts. Should fit right in with no added heat. Just might require minor trimming of the one little tabs. Also you could try the 9012 in the low beams.
I just put 6000k lEDS in my headlights for my 01 Sierra and love them
These led's don't fit the socket. The socket opening is .630 and the led is .658 get the correct led or pickup your new file and get to it.. Paul
Isn't that your fog lights ? All my blazers, that area, is my fog lights
Nope. Drl lights. Fog lights would be lower to the front bumper.
Every Silverado i see only have one on
