LED Interior Light Upgrade (Cheap, Easy and Worth it)

[@nealcook4830]

Thanks so much. I’ve already ordered the lights in a kit off Amazon for my 05 Avalanche. With only 55,600 on it. 1 owner. Looks brand new. You’ve really helped me. Now I can do this without having to guess or figure it out myself.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Glad I could help

[@itsjoey5748]

Can you post a video of how it came out I also have a 05 chevy avalanche and I’m looking into this

[@nealcook4830]

@@itsjoey5748 before you get too far into it I have to let you know of my experience. First they look fantastic. Really bright, white daytime lights. I had a 6 year old battery it at the time and it went dead on me within the week after installing the lights. I replaced the battery and it also went dead in about 2 weeks. After weeks of researching it, I believe it is the BCM (body control module) not completely shutting down and causing a parasitic drain. The LED lights are fooling the computer because they do not draw as much power as the halogen bulbs. I have since removed all the interior LED bulbs and reinstalled my old yellow halogen ones. Seems to have cleared up the problem. Appears that to fool the computer, each LED bulb needs a resistor to draw as much power as a halogen bulb. Hope I saved you a lot of money and time.

[@reifonseca5767]

​@@nealcook4830 the problem is the garbage bulbs you bought in that kit.not that it's led but the bulbs themselves get quality like auxito or lasfit cost way more then that kit but last forever and won't drain anything

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lasfit is a way better bulb.

[@markadams5823]

I installed the light kit. they came out really great. I was probably going to buy them one by one but with this channel save me a lot of money keep up the good work. Lights are phenomenal

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes should all be the same except you will have to bypass any autoride

I found the same brand kit for an Escalade , you think I would still have to bypass?

[@TWAMotorsports]

If you change shocks yes

[@americosilva9166]

You don’t need to remove the headliner in order to remove the sunroof headliner. There are 4 bolts holding the glass. Once you remove it you will have access to the sunroof cover. There is a piece of metal on the back that prevents the cover from sliding all the way to the front. There are some type of tap on either side you will have to pull/bend a bit so the metal piece can be removed. Once removed the sunroof cover will be able to slide all the way out. Let me know if you have questions.

[@BLOWNSST]

Does your 05 have lights in the rear doors? Mine has reflectors and no lights in there. Was it only certain years that had lights in the back?

[@lewisgeer5830]

BLOWNSST. My rear doors do not light up but after seeing in the video that his does i just assume the bulbs are burned out. But i could see how GM may have cheaped out and just put reflectors in them. I guess i’ll find out when my LEDs come in and i get around to installing them. I’ll let you know.

[@BLOWNSST]

Lewis Geer his rear doors have the clear section with red, mine rear doors have a completely red reflector, and no lights behind it. I recently did all the interior lights and swapped out interior door handles to Denali/Escalade handles and painted speaker grills black. So I thought it was weird there wasn’t a light, I’m sure it can be added but I got a few little projects going on right now. Let me know what you find if you don’t mind. Thanks bud

Just ordered a kit for my 01 Sierra bc of this video

[@phillipblades6784]

I think your vehicles do seem newer with the LED interior lights. I replaced all the lenses on the exterior of my 2005 regular cab Silverado. I replaced the exterior lights with LEDs, but I had to go back to the older bulbs for my signal lights to work. The dome light is out now so I ordered a new LED bulb for it. Yesterday I ordered $80 worth of new non-LED bulbs for the turn signals. Along with a new LED 3rd brake light/Cargo light assembly. My truck is a fleet model and it doesn’t have any lights on the doors. I would like to upgrade it to that if possible. I saw LED assemblies for Silverado doors on Amazon. It’s the wiring that would not be easy for me. I know I ordered more bulbs for the turn signals and Daytime Running Lights that I need. I’ll have the extra bulbs for future use when I need them. My truck just has one dome light. No mirror lights or map lights. This video makes me look even more forward to replacing all the turn signal bulbs with new ones. It’s fun to improve my 20 year old truck. Thanks for the inspiration and advice in this video.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Good luck on yours

I did mine a few months ago with a similar kit on my 03 Tahoe. Watched your video cuz I have two of the bigger LEDs that the dome uses but I’ve already replaced all of my interior lights. I have no clue where they go.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Generally they send extra

[@freddiehearne1487]

when replacing the bulb under the outside mirror you will see a tab on one side. Push it in towards the mirror and the use a small flat blade screwdriver and pry on opposit side where you will find a tab at the front side and one at the back side, this will release the bulb housig. Then using a phillips head screwdriver remove the 2 screws at the ends and remove bulb and insert the houseing back after tightning the screws. If daylight you will need to cover the sensor on the dash for the bulb to come on. Hope this helps.

[@RobertMartinez-we3nr]

Do you have a video on the mirror lights? I popped it off, took the two little screws off, but I didn’t want to break it. I can see the bulb in there and the two wire connectors on the top, but it doesn’t look like it comes out.?
