Have to remove the front bumper to change out the headlights in a ZR2, but it's not terrible to do. These headlights look amazing though, HUGE upgrade!

Good video...really made me laugh. Reminded me of ME 50 years back. You have oem lights that work just fine. But spend the TIME and MONEY to replace them with upgraded lights that LOOK better. I spent so much time and money doing mods on late 60's muscle cars....so much of it simply for minor improvements. Nothing like car tinkering.

Did you ever add led lights for your low beam? And if so what kind did you go with? Or what modifications did you have to do to make them work? I have a 2019 Colorado zr2. I have the exact same lights and I have the Lasfit led bulbs. The low beams light fit in the high beam spot on the light but not in the low beam spot. The high beam bulb fits in neither. The new lights socket for the low beam is not the insert and twist type. It has a metal wire holding the bulb in. Also, the plug for the low beam is different then the rounded plug necessary to plug and play lights. Any answers you have would be helpful.

Around 3 hours. Would have been faster if my new LED bulbs swapped right in.

Is the LED strip your DRL now or is it both the low beam and the strip?

It’s still like factory. The low beam is the DRL and the LED strip comes on with the parking lights or headlights.

I have the exact same pickup. Minus diesel. 2019 ZR2 she’s blue. I got the exact same headlights as well, I love them, minus pulling the whole front bumper off to put them in, and the dust cover on the passenger side without the screw hole. I have noticed however that when I have my low beams on there is a hard step in the lights where it actually changes the light pattern. Have you noticed anything about yours that would cause this? Do your lights have this issue? I’ll explain, the low beams have a nice even line of light shining out, a straight flat line if you will. But I noticed that each lights right at the center of the POV had what looks like a step where the light itself literally steps up a few inches(size depends on how far away you are from the object you pointing the headlights at). I didn’t mean honk anything at first, but it is most notable when night driving on the highway, the lane I’m in will have good light a ways out, but there is a noticeable cut off to the area on my left/drivers side. Have you noticed this? I am wondering if I can fix with different bulbs or if I unfortunately got a bad set of headlights. Thank you for the video, wish I would Of watched before I did mine.

Ok I’ll play devil advocate and ask one dumb question. Is it really necessary to go all through that just to remove the headlight assembly? Seams to me it you were to systematically loosen most of the fasteners, remove all of them above the lights themselves, that might allow you to pull the grill assembly away far enough to get to the four fasteners that hold the light fixtures in place? If I go to do this, I will try to video the outcome. That will save a lot of time!! These are nothing like the 2003-2006 Silverado/Nakid Avalanche and Tahoe Suburban, with thier 20 sec headlight removal system!

Someone else mentioned this to me. I think it's possible but it may end of being more of a pain and not worth it. I say try it and see what happens. If you are successful, reply on here so I know. I may be building another set of headlights and it would be helpful to not have to remove it all again.
