Love my LTZ but HATE the blend door actuators.
Deep shame on GM for those.
I bought stock looking headlights from TYC just gave the front in a new look again as the originals were yellowing after 5 years. Also I got CAPA certified for better quality. The rubber seal that goes along the top was coming off with in a year as the stock ones did too. So I bought that 2 stage glue that you spray on the catalyst and it sets up immediately. That worked out real good.
I was checking those out on Car Id. From their pictures, they look identical to stock. Did the set you received look the same? $180 a set is roughly half of what genuine GM's cost, so if they're like "factree" that would be a better route to go, IMHO, over the cheap Amazon housings..
@@CertifiedShadetree Yes they looked just like the factory lights but I paid about 120 a piece for them on geekparts. This was about 3 years ago so I don't know what they're going for now. I kinda wish I got the black ones because I think they would look good on my silver
Oh wow, right now they're $90.20 for the driver's side and $87.92 for the passenger side at Car Id

I had a set from 1A Auto on my wishlist, but they've been discontinued. They were OEM housings in black and were $275 for the pair. Ah well..
Those look pretty clean, maybe you should add some ceramic coating to those headlights to make it last for a few years in the coming time. Maybe if you want you can also retro fit em with projectors so you got a perfect beam
That is definitely something I would consider doing with these housings! I've always heard the aftermarket housings are much easier to split open for retrofitting.
I bought these off Amazon 90 buks a set. Working well looks great on both my Impala's. Ceramic coat them prior to install. No fading no issues at all
How long have you had them installed? Just curious, 'cause I generally don't have high expectations for aftermarket headlight housings!!
@@CertifiedShadetree It's been like close to 2yrs now
@@mstovall2970 That's a pretty good run so far! Are you using LED's?
@@CertifiedShadetree kept saying I was but haven't put them in yet
Gonna order the black headlights for the 2012 , probably finna put my emphasis on the 2012 now. Thinking of selling the 09 and get myself an 80's Caprice 🤔🤔🤔
What LED headlights are you using ( brand and model) I’m looking to upgrade to them.
I put new LED reverse lights in my 09 Impala and it helped tremendously!
Nice ride..👍
I've had these for close to 4 years and can't recommend them enough:
BEAMTECH H11 LED Bulb, S1 Series 8000LM 50W H8 H9 Fanless Quieter CSP Chip Xenon White All In One Halogen Replacement Focused Pattern www.amazon.com/dp/B072JC755L/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_R3JCK2W2HYKX24PBE7CZ
That’s an interesting signal light noise 19:22
I had an aftermarket radio installed in that car. The interface module makes that sound through a separate speaker..
@@CertifiedShadetree lol yeah I know and I figured
Even if they came with bulbs I am sure you wouldn't keep those. I'd put LED's if I were you. I put DDM's in mine and it requires a module for the Day Time Running Lights. Yes they do look great on the Red car.
I swapped over my 3 year old Beamtech LED's. Still going strong, and no flicker with the DRL's!! $35 a set, no fans, and they're bright as hell!
Did you see if you were able to move the adjustment shaft from the stock one? It looks like it would fit in the gears on the adjuster, just the gears are on the other side.
I never did, no. I have the old ones packed away somewhere, maybe I'll check that out next spring when it warms up..
So I've heard you mention trifecta Before but I'm not familiar with what that is. Maybe you can do a video that explains what's involved in that.
Here's the link:
www.trifectaperformance.com/store/category/97-36l-9th-generation-2012-2016/
They send you a bootloader/tuner to connect to your car that contains their tune. They have 3 levels of tunes - the one I'm going to get is the "Advantage" or Level 1. www.trifectaperformance.com/store/product/2187-2012-2015-chevrolet-impala-limited-36l-advantage/
This one basically lets you switch the tune on and off with your cruise control switch. It is similar to the tune the stock 9C1 police cars have. I will likely have a K&N CAI installed before I get the tuner, so I will tell them I have that and will request the 91 octane-only tune (I run non-oxy 91 all the time anyway, so NBD if I'm forced to use 91.)
And I will most definitely be doing a video!!
@@CertifiedShadetree oh cool i'll check that out
Dang them are nice. I'm thinking of getting me a set for 13 impala lt.
You can get BC coil overs for impala. I found a set for $2000 another thing I might order
You can get them 10% off if you click the link in the description 😉😉..
@@brockcaron2566 🤯 That's a little rich for my blood!!
@@CertifiedShadetree hey thank you will do when the day comes. And the coil overs will be my last resort if can't find a set of struts I like. I'm try kyb out and not fan of Monroe to soft.
I have the KYB Strut Plus quick-struts on my 12 Impala. They're money well spent, says I. Heard Monroe's quality has gone down the shitter lately..
How does the the reflector cup cover the low beam lights? I had to bend mine in to cover the light cuz it was blinding from the side, and it was smaller reflector cup then the original too. Fortunately they were made of metal and easy to bend but a bit of a pain in the butt to do. Might be a different manufacturer than yours, but I like the look of them.
Looks just like the one in the stock headlight. I didn't have any fitment or light output issues.
Awesome
Wow these are definitely the better buy. I ordered similar set for my 13 called PIT66 don't buy those they're basically a rip off of the autosaver88s
5 months in and they still look like new!! Aside from the driver's side not being able to adjust down further, I've had no issues whatsoever. I would gladly spend $109 for a set of these!!
Is there any adjustment side to side? My driver side seem to shine to the same spot that the passenger does
@@Sobelava9 Not on these housings, no. Same goes for the stock housings. Up and down only, no side to side movement. I'd just exchange them for another set, honestly..
Was there a difference in brightness at night because of the black color on the headlights?
I'm thinking of getting these 🤔
They look really good
No, that has no effect on light output. If you'll notice, the reflector where the lamp sits is still silver.
@@CertifiedShadetree ok thank you, and do you recommend the Beamtech LED you have? I'm looking for something brighter.
@@dannyd2275 I would recommend the Beamtechs. I've had them for 3 1/2 years and they're as bright as ever!
How many impalas do you have?
Right now only 2. At one time there were 4 in my household.
Do your orange side marker turn signals work? I have a pair of spyder black euros and they don’t work for me
Yes they do.
@@CertifiedShadetree man dude I wish mine did, if I am in traffic no one could see me switching lanes😂
@@Mikethakidd887 Those are some spendy lights, too! They charge you close to $300 and can't even make the sidemarker lights flash?? What a gyp!!
@@CertifiedShadetree yeah it’s messed up
That's pretty odd. Mine sure do.
Edit. Oh I know what you're talking about now. I don't think the factory ones did either.
