I’m trying to upgrade my 2005 base model regular cab Silverado. It was my Grandpa’s farm truck. I’m using 2007 badges and 2007 aluminum OEM wheels on it. That’s because my late dad once owned a 2007 LTZ Silverado. My truck doesn’t even have carpet or a fold down console in the interior, but it will. I just ordered some new headlights and taillights for mine. Although, I picked the “black surrounded” headlights and the “smoked” taillights. I’m inspired by this video. My truck will not be the same after the wheels and lights are upgraded. It amazes me what’s possible to get done with just a mail order makeover. My grandpa would not buy a vehicle for any reason but use on his farm. I think that I can make it mine by just buying a few things and installing them myself. I have already bought everything I want, but the carpet and the radio. Again, thank you for the inspiration and another great video.
@@TWAMotorsports Thanks. I also want to use the 2007 “classic” hood and grille, but that’s only if I can find a good used hood that is the same color as my truck. That’s where the easy part ends. But since my truck is white, the most common color on the road, maybe it won’t be impossible. I’ve just had to spend the money slowly and carefully to find the things I’ve gotten so far.
I bought an 05 Avalanche bumper after I hit a deer. It had factory fog lights, and my 03 Silverado was an LS, so it didn't have fog lights. Thanks to others on TH-cam, it was fairly easy to add the harness to my fuse panel and add a fog light switch. The fuse was wired already in the plug to the back of the cargo light connector and when I bought the fog / cargo combo switch, the fog light dash switch was connected automatically to the fuse in the fuse panel. I used Sea Light 360° fog lights. I'm now ordering new lights like you did. And I'll be be putting Sea Light bulbs in them too. Thanks to you, I got a preview of how they will look!
I used those Sealight LEDs in my 97 Suburban in Spyder glass housings... They were about 'twice' the brightness of the OEM bulbs. I later rewired the headlights to use all four bulbs in the 'bright' mode... I now have a set in my '04 'cat-eye', I added the all-on mode for my brights for all of the country driving.
@@TWAMotorsports A lot of the LEDs have a big fan/heat-sink that will not fit without modifying the core support, which is why I chose the 'Sealight' fanless set (like the set you used). IMO Halogen bulbs are only to be used until they can be replaced with LED.
Funny thing is, I ordered new LED bulbs for my 06 Silverado to install after it's painted. Once you said the better bulbs have a set screw to adjust, I had to check my kit...looks like I ordered the exact same brand! Glad to hear you're happy with them.
Used those LED’s on my 08 Tahoe and was super impressed! Did lots of research and for a cheaper budget set of lights…. Total win! Over a year and still impressed. Couldn’t find a Fog Led from them at the time and had to use another brand, but everything worked well together and the amount of visibility I gained on Low beam alone, Best money I ever spent. Slammed my 08 LTZ hoe & living in the country driving home at night from UPS…. I can see all the Deer, Skunks and other night time Lowered truck issues in the road. Thanks for the killer content, killer in-depth installs and doing kool things to trucks. Love to see you KO the red truck and back to the TA and maybe toss in Some kool Shop mods, work bench,even a little garage art for the walls. Keep on Busting them knuckles bro! Laterz!
I just did the same thing to my 03 Silverado-my old headlights looked just like yours lol. I ended up putting in AUXITO 9005 9006 LED’s from Amazon for under $70 for all four lights. What a HUGE DIFFERENCE! What an easy upgrade that only takes about 10 minutes!
I put some Fahren LEDs in my truck last December, the beam pattern is great, they are super bright and not super expensive for both the high and lows. they've been working great for about 11 months now. the ONLY issue I had is that I had to adjust 3 of them, but it's really easy. And they don't have the little end on them that obstructs the light.
@@TWAMotorsports yeah I highly recommend them, also thank you for the tip on painting the radiator support. I painted mine matte black and it definitely made the front end look better.
Travis, truck is looking awesome as usual, don't understand why so many people run around with their trucks/cars headlights/taillights totally oxidized where they are just a blur of light, if I had an older truck that would be the first upgrade i would make, it makes a huge difference
Good Thursday evening Travis. I'm just getting home from work and tuning in on my big screen tv with surround sound.. man it looks beautiful outside in Missouri by the looks of your video 🇺🇲
Looks tons better man! That was a issue with my shortbed i just sold it had 4 cluster lights on i continuously fought its one of the reasons I sold it.
I kinda like the tan. It seems like whatever color console I am looking for I find the opposite color. If I need tan I can only find gray and vice versa. Lol
@@TWAMotorsports a few hours after posting this a tan one with lower dash pieces popped up on ebay and looked in really good condition. I paid out the ass but I been looking for a year lol
I have the same hood but there is a gap between my grill and the hood, anyway you could send me the link to yours so I can see if it’s any different than mine
Quick question....I have the EXACT same truck and everytime I try to purchase what you have linked from Amazon, they always say it doesn't fit my truck?! 😢 confused as hell...😮 Can you put an amber LED in an amber lense?!
I am VERY curious about the process of adding fog lights into a silverado that never had them. Got a similar situation coming up in the near future. 06 silverado, base model, that never had any but I want to add some.
Yeah. Travis is the man. I added fog lights on my 13 model. The wiring from the switch to the main fuse panel under the hood was already there. I bought a kit that had the lights and wiring from the fuse panel to the lights. I had to take the fuse panel loose ( lever locks) and put a pinned wire in the panel. You will also need a light switch with the fog light option.
@@TWAMotorsports can you please do one and try to see if it’s possible to use the oem switch that would come with the truck had it come originally with the truck
Your daily is looking good. I can't beleave how bad those other lights were. I'm I the only one that misses glass lights. Lol. Light sets would cost 600 bucks
Hey man, i have an 03 ss. Im looking to get better bulbs. Looking into led. What do you recommend now since its 2 years out from when this video was made. Thanks!
I noticed you kept the turn signals incandescent. I put in LEDs for the turn signals and they wouldn’t work when the headlights were on. Replaced with incandescent bulbs and the turn signals worked again. I replaced the flasher module with an electronic option. Any advice on how to get the LED turn signals to work properly? Thanks!
Way cleaner look now! There are a lot of cheaper led high/low beam bulbs out there as long as you don’t go to low with the price, I usually stay 30 and above and I if I like something I make sure that in the reviews there are many to get a better picture of the product. Like you said, we work for our money to get something that’s going to work and not trash!
The daytime running lights unavailable on Amazon. That’s the only thing I did not get . Also Travis … when I look up tiny small light bulb on Amazon come Back as a license plate or dome light. Do you have the package part number and product.
I have an 03 Silverado z71 1500. I'm shopping for quality replacements. I've noticed some variants of part numbers. Do you have experience with TYC 20-6385-90 vs 20-6385-00? Also Some are listed as " 20-6385-90-1 or 20-6385-00-1" Looking for OEM equivalent. Thanks
@@TWAMotorsports They are. I was just seeing different TYC numbers. FYI, it seems that 20-6385-00 is for 2003-04 and 20-6385-90 is for 2005-06 (07 Silverado classic)
Awesome video as always and that daily is looking better and better every video that comes out. Quick question Travis, would you happen to know where to find billet grilles for the 99-02 silverados or 99-06 tahoes? I deleted the bowtie on my grill shell and I can only find billet grills with the bowtie already cutout
So its been a couple of years since this video. My question is are both the headlight assembly and bulbs still working trouble free ( no moisture or yellowing ) ? I am thinking seriously about doing this on my 2500 HD.
@@TWAMotorsports btw. Have you had good luck with this tyc brand headlight and keeping it clean? I've ordered some ebay ones twice and the larger top headlights always go yellow in about a year. Wondering if this brand is better?
Tried those TYC Headlights and they were HORRIBLE. Poor light pattern with major shadows and poor throw = Unsafe Nighttime Driving. The TYC DRL / Turn Signals were GOOD. Ended up polishing my 2004 OEM's for drastically better lighting performance.

The best method to change out headlights, wish they went back to this
Totally agree with that
It's always amazing how well a fresh set of headlamps make a truck look. I got some for my sierra based on this video!
I agree. Completely changes the look
I bought an 05 Avalanche bumper after I hit a deer. It had factory fog lights, and my 03 Silverado was an LS, so it didn't have fog lights.

I agree. Some don't fit
Looks good. I put led switchback bulbs in my turn signals and converted the drl's to blinkers with switchback bulbs. Looks and works great.
Nice. I need to try that some day
Funny thing is, I ordered new LED bulbs for my 06 Silverado to install after it's painted. Once you said the better bulbs have a set screw to adjust, I had to check my kit...looks like I ordered the exact same brand! Glad to hear you're happy with them.
Thats awesome. They are the best bang for the buck.
I really do like how that truck has come together, perfect clean daily
Thank you. More to come
Drives me nuts to see those braces through the grill. Such an easy fix. Great job. Trucks looking great
Thank you. Me too. Sticks out so bad

Keep on Busting them knuckles bro! Laterz!
Thank you. Yeah that light is nice on country roads with anything dropped. Lol. Hopefully will be back in the ta in a few months.
Auxbeam does have fan cooled 90° or L angle bulbs just like the factory so you won't have to worry about bulky fan clearance.
I need to try them sometime

Definitely an upgrade
I would like to know how they held up any condensation in the headlight ?
@MrSymbolic7 good while I had the truck
Truck is looking great! Fog lights will look awesome! Great job as always, Travis!
Thank you
Lights and especially painting the brace made a world of difference. ✌
Thank you. Getting to be what I wanted
Really appreciate how thorough the video is
Thank you
What a difference the new headlights made. Looks so much better.
Thank you. Its so much nicer at night too
Looks good buddy. I have noticed that silver bar behind the grill. Looks so much better now. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you Larry. Its getting there
Can you share a link of the grill bowtie? Looks bad ass man🫡🫡
All parts I use I list in video description
I bought a large assortment of those black plastic push pins on Amazon due to them missing or breaking
I need to do the same.
Do you have part number?
I run Sealights in every vehicle I own. Great bulbs and I have yet to have a failure.
That's good to hear.
The truck is clean! Simple and clean. Nice wheels too 👍
Thank you
What wheels are those?

@@TWAMotorsports yeah I highly recommend them, also thank you for the tip on painting the radiator support. I painted mine matte black and it definitely made the front end look better.
👍 yeah that paint makes things look cleaner
I literally said to myself at the beginning of the video, I'd paint those bars behind the grille.
Definitely better
Did you ever do a video on installing the fog lights for the Silverado?
No
Travis, truck is looking awesome as usual, don't understand why so many people run around with their trucks/cars headlights/taillights totally oxidized where they are just a blur of light, if I had an older truck that would be the first upgrade i would make, it makes a huge difference

Looks good I had an accident on my 05 and had to to do the fr end thank you for sharing and adjusting the headlights 👍
You're welcome. Hopefully it helped

Are the headlight adjustment measurements the same if the truck is lowered?! If so…what would they be..thnx!?
Yes. Measurements are based on dot on headlights

6 on lights sound so good
Works great

I love that color in these trucks.
@@TWAMotorsports me too, unfortunately I got stuck with the stupid tan interior. And finding a decent tan full center console has been futile
