In this video, we show you how to install our LED Headlights for the 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015-2019 GMC Sierra 2500/3500. With upgraded headlights from Form Lighting, you can add full LED functionality to your truck, along with a number of modern features.
What’s better than one projector? Three projectors. And in our projector model headlights, all three are bi-LED units, providing output for both low beam and high beam illumination. With a sharp cutoff, broad width, and high intensity, these units provide a serious upgrade in output.
The reflector model headlights feature full LED function, including low beam and high beam. Using modern, application-specific optical reflectors, these lights produce much higher intensity and output than the factory halogen units.
Inspired by the late-model Sierra styling, these lights will give your truck a much more modern appearance. This includes an LED turn signal along with a distinctive C-shaped daytime running light (DRL). If your factory headlights don’t have a DRL, no worries! Installation of this feature is simple thanks to the included harness.
These headlights are packed with the latest and most modern lighting functions, including a startup or “welcome” sequence. Anytime the running lights turn on, they will illuminate in a two-stage chasing sequence that is sure to turn heads, with an ultra-premium look.
The startup sequence isn’t the only thing that stands out. These headlights also feature an integrated sequential LED turn signal. Every time the turn signal is activated, amber LEDs activate in a smooth, chasing sequence.
Form Lighting headlights are built with quality in mind, using OE-grade materials and design techniques. This includes durable UV-coated polycarbonate lenses, automotive-grade LED emitters, breather vents, and OEM plug-and-play connectors. Rest assured that these lights will provide durable and superior performance.
Form Lighting headlights meet all SAE, DOT, FMVSS, and CMVSS standards and regulations for legal on-road use in the United States and Canada, when installed and aimed properly - which is easy to do with the integrated screw-type adjusters.
Our headlights for the Sierra are completely plug-and play and will fit perfectly, bolting right up to the factory mounting points without any gaps. They were designed to plug into the factory headlight connectors, with no wiring modifications needed. No errors, flickering, or hyperflashing! If you’d like to enable the DRL feature, a fusebox wire harness is included, which does not require any wire cutting or splicing.
All Form Lighting products are rigorously tested for reliability, and backed by a two-year warranty. The warranty is supported directly by Form Lighting, and any replacement parts, if needed, are shipped quickly from Form Lighting’s US warehouse.
Thanks for watching!

Only thing i dislike about these, is the void in the lower corners. Why not make the entire "C" shape led turn amber when turn signals are on? However, the clearly are an upgrade
@formlighting 2 ай бұрын
We appreciate honest review. We offer an amber DRL option with a fully blacked out housing for this headlight as well if that is something you prefer. As this was one of our first product designs we will take that into consideration for future releases! I have passed the suggestion along to our team.

These look amazing, I'm heavily considering these compared to Alpharex or Morimoto. I just prefer the look of these headlights compared to the others. Currently running the stock HID projectors on my '16 sierra.

What's the price on these headlights? Can be replaced the bulbs in case that one of them burnt-out or these headlights are sealed?
@formlighting 7 ай бұрын
These are sealed. If you are going to experience failures with an LED typically it will be within the first 1-2 years. That is why we cover them with our standard two-year warranty that allows for a full replacement if you should experience any issues!

CAN U DO A INSTALL WITH THE NOVA APEX 2014 GMC SEIRRA 1500
@greenbusht Ай бұрын
I just bought and installed a pair of projector headlights for my 2015 Denali 1500, they look and preform amazing. My only question is even though I have DRL’s from factory do I still need to run that separate harness to make them work? With the factory plug plugged in, I have no DRL’s and in the day time no unlock sequence, just the hazards come on.

Hey there! Sorry to hear you are having troubles. This is an issue we have seen before, an don some of the trucks like yours that come with DRL for the factory you still need to tap the DRL to maintain this function with our lamps. Simply follow the DRL fuse tap instructions in this video and use our included harness and you should be good to go! If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service department. They will gladly help you work through anything in the future.

Has there been any reports about these lights giving the computer a hard time where it detects low voltage? Because it is programmed to detect the voltage the halogens are versus the LEDs
@formlighting 3 ай бұрын
This is common with LEDs when upgrading from halogen lights, and that's exactly why our lights come with built in resistors so you won't experience this!
@user-hh1st6dq4j 3 ай бұрын
When plugged to the fuse box how do you close the box without smashing cord ??
@formlighting 3 ай бұрын
If there is not a notch in the box already you can cut a small slot out of the side in a place that is convenient to route the wire out of the box. This will allow the wire to lay flat and should be cut out of the fuse box not the lid if you decide to do so.

Does it take regular bulbs or does it have specific bulbs or do you have to buy a new assembly when it goes out
@formlighting 7 ай бұрын
This is one sealed housing there is no bulbs to replace. LED typically fail within the first two years if there is going to be any issues so that is why we cover them with our standard two year warranty. Outside of that is it expected that the life of LEDs is around 40,000 hours so there would be no need to replace bulbs.

I was looking at form the reflector and projector models on your website. Is there a specific reason the projector model is so much more expensive than the reflector kit?
@formlighting 21 күн бұрын
The output on projector style headlights is significantly better. Both options offer an improvement over stock lights, but with the projector we are able to put out a more intense beam pattern that goes right up to a razor sharp cutoff line. That cutoff can be easily aimed allowing you to get more output while also not blinding oncoming traffic. If you head back to the product listing we have output comparisons between all three options.

Was there a rule change or something that allowed companies to make better headlamps or something? I have a 2014 gmc which came with candle powered headlights from factory and was looking hard for options a few years ago, and the selection was pretty limited other than the 16+ Denali light mod.
@formlighting Жыл бұрын
LED headlights were not a common option from manufacturers until the late 2010s! This left many vehicles, such as yours, with a lot to be desired in terms of output. Thankfully, a company like ours exists to help fill that gap. Our plug-and-play options are all an upgrade over the stock halogen headlights of the past!

@@formlighting Your housings are certainly in the running, my current stock housing has developed a leak it seems and only a matter of time before the moisture ruins things. I appreciate the design of your light, imo the Alpha Nova just seems a little much for me design wise. Has there been any compassion's done vs the Morimoto's and Alpha nova?

@@md1028 No comparison out on these at this time, unfortunately. However, I can share that our projector low beam produces just over 22,500 candela, and our reflector option produces roughly 18,500 candela. These are a huge improvement over the stock lamps!

@@BrandonBurns1985 There may be similar options available, due to the popular style of the newer premium trucks these reflect.
