true , any of this bulbs affecting car electronics ? BCM ? ECU ?
Nope. Plug and play. Found a set of H11s on Temu. 5 day shipping, came in 4 and 10x better lighting than factory. The factory bulbs were garbage.

Edit: I have only bought one with the cooling fans as part of the package. I do not know if this impacts longevity but I know some people find the hum annoying, I only hear the hum after the car shuts off and the lights remain on. Driving, you cannot hear the hum over the engine.

For sure my tahoe needs fog lights , so why not LED ?
And i was thinking about HawkGlow bulbs for Hi beam , and some quality halogen for Low beam
any recommendations ?
What makes the police package so nice is the daytime running lights have been disabled. This gives improved safety and better gas mileage.

How do the DRL’s affect your gas mileage? I’d figure they would use more blinker fluid but gas has me stumped. I don’t know what my Yukon has in them but they’re great, I’ve only needed the brights on a rare occasion.

Check the flux capacitor. Might be reaching end of life if your gas mileage is still good.

I thought LEDs wouldn't work right on the Tahoe due to Resister issues?
If it is an issue, please don’t tell my truck. They work great and are much brighter than the OEM halogen bulbs.

I do believe LED tech has come a LONG way since it debuted. I still remember when household LEDs were $15-20 per bulb, now they are $10 for a pack of 8 (pre-tariffs).
