What's going on, everybody, Adam here with etrailer. Today, I brought my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, and we're gonna be upgrading the headlights. We're gonna be using the 9005 LED Xtreme headlights, this is gonna be a major upgrade to your incandescent bulbs. Whether you're replacing your working OEM bulbs, or you just have one that went out and you wanna upgrade, LEDs are the way to go. One, they're gonna last longer, two, they're gonna be a lot brighter, and three, they're gonna make your vehicle look a lot newer. My standard bulbs are extremely yellow and gross.
This is an older vehicle, an 01, but with these lights, whenever you're heading down the road, people are gonna think it's new. One thing I really like about the LEDs compared to the halogen bulbs or some HID bulbs is we don't have any lag. It's just gonna be putting out about 4,500 lumens immediately, and I really like that, especially if you're switching from high to low, you're not gonna have that lag at all. And this is gonna be 6 1/2 K when it comes to the light, so it's white, it's not blue and it's not yellow, like you see here. I really like the newer look 'cause one, it's a lot brighter and it just doesn't look as old as the original headlights are, but it is gonna be about five times brighter than a 35-watt HID system and a lot brighter than the halogen bulb.
So this is definitely the route to go. So as you can see, this is just with the standard light bulb. Doesn't really light up a whole lot, but then when I undo this and cover up the other one, it definitely gives you an idea of how much brighter this is gonna be. And I'm actually just covering this up with my back and I can feel a lot more heat coming off the incandescent bulb, so that is also cool, 'cause heat means loss of voltage. And it's just a little bit better for your electrical system and your vehicle.
Super quick and easy install. It's just plug and play. You don't have to splice into any of the wires or anything like that. It took me maybe 30 minutes to get a lot more brightness out of my headlights. So if you stick around, I'm gonna show you how easy it is.
So we're gonna have the LEDs right here. The cool thing about these LEDs is they are gonna be cooling. So we have a nice little fan just to make sure they don't overheat because they push out a lot of juice. So that's always nice, it's gonna protect itself, but also it's gonna protect your vehicle from any codes, and that's where this comes in. This is a anti-flicker harness. So if you have any error codes in the past, whenever you switch out bulbs, sometimes it says, "there's not a bulb in there," yada, yada, yada. You experienced that or any type of flickering. That is what this is going to look like. So once you get everything all laid out and familiarize yourself with it all, we can proceed. All the wires are nice and concealed and we do have aluminum housings on everything that's not gonna be covering the wire. So everything's gonna be aluminum. We don't have to worry about it rusting away over time, and it does have a really good fit when it comes to the connection points. You have a little rubber piece here. It will make sure that no water's gonna get in there. So these are for your high beams. So I do recommend you going into your vehicle and flickering them just to make sure that you're gonna be replacing the right bulb. So once you figure out where the high beams are, we can go ahead and remove our headlight so then we can get started. Headlights are gonna vary from vehicle to vehicle, but on our 01 Chevy Tahoe, all you gotta do is just take these little rods out, just like this, twist them, pull them up. That's all we really need to do. And then this should pop right out. It's gonna catch a little bit on this little trim piece. So just be gentle with it, it will come just like that. Then what we wanna do is we can rotate our lights over there, and remove them, simple twist. Don't use a whole lot of force, they'll come out, just kind of an awkward angle, just like that. And you could set the headlight to the side for now and while we're here, what you wanna do is be super gentle and kind of pull up on these so we can get this out. And this is going to be a plug, which is compatible with our harness. Now, what we wanna do is take our anti-flicker harness and we're going to connect it. We wanna make sure that everything's lined up positive, positive, negative, negative, and that is good. Then we can take our other harness like this, and they're both gonna have a positive and negative, but obviously the little pin here and this little clip, they're gonna line up. So just make sure that

Get some new headlight assembles and it’ll be even brighter. Or you can de fog it
