Silverado HID headlights for the 2007½, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012
model years.
Let's look at a typical installation and see how easy it is to hook up HID Headlights on Chevrolet Silverado with seperate low and high beam bulbs. eash of the beams will require their own kit including lights, wiring, ballasts and hardware.
We will be installing the Vision Pro 5000K HID's from Ultra Bright Lights into our project 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 and reporting on just how easy these kits are to retrofit your headlights from the old halogen bulbs to the new HID headlights.
You will need these two kits before begining your trucks transformation to High Intensity Discharge Xenon lighting. Available through Amazon, these are the best quality HID kits we have found to date.
Installation time was about 20 minutes per set. Under the hood of the new Chevy trucks, everything is neet and tidy these days making installation quick and easy. We did have to remove the air filter element from the Airraid Cold Air Intake in order to access the passenger side headlight housings but that was about it. Reaching down, we unplugged the stock bulbs one at a time and replace them with the new HID bulbs.
Connecting
the lights to the vehicle wiring was as simple as unplugging the stock bulbs
and plugging in the pigtails going to the ballasts. Click on image to see a
larger image of the HID connectors showen on the left. On the right is the
9005 headlight connector on the Silverado. You can see the two notches that
lign up with the connector from the ballasts. Also note the use of Electrical
Insulating Compound to keep out moisture and help eliminate corrosion. See
Electrical Insulating Compound below
Dow Corning 4 Electrical Insulating Compound provides a moisture-proof seal for aircraft, automotive and marine ignition systems and spark plug connections. DC-4 forms a moisture-proof, electrically-insulating seal for electrical connections, electrical assemblies and terminals and spark plug connections.
HID Headlights for the 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 were purchased through Amazon from Ultra Bright Lights. Shipping was fast and the OEM quality makes these the best HID headlights on the market for our new Chevy. We also have these in our motorhome and after 20,000 miles of driving in Alaska through New Mexico, these lights are still lighting up the road.
