2005 Yukon cluster LED conversion question

[Onebad1983]

Has anyone used superbrightleds.com to replace their cluster bulbs? If so on the quantity selection do I just leave it at one to get all the bulbs I need or is it talking about one bulb per qty?

For an 05 I used LED strips.

If you use individual LEDs you'll get hotspots. I placed the led strips around the bezel and I hsv uniform lighting all around.

The one with the CEL is the LED strip . You can see the difference



It's actually easier to use the led strips too. Instead of soldering each individual bulb you just need to solder the wires for the strips. I did the strips over 2 years ago and 0 issues so far (did them April 11, 2018 according to the time stamp on the photo)

I was worried to know if these were solder in or screw in like the 00-02 cluster. I can solder but I haven't practiced with hot wires (I know to disconnect the battery, but still)

03-06 is solder. Honestly it's pretty easy

I've heard the bulbs don't last long. That true?

great website, 100% recommend.

Same as these guys say, 03-06 are LED's instead of 194 bulbs like the 00-02. Depending on the LED's you use, you could get hotspots...

Probably depends on how you solder. Like I said I used led strips and havent had any issues in 2 years

Do you know if these LEDs would cause hotspots? And how long they would last? Also are their high/low beam bulbs worth the money? I'm using cheap eBay ones currently and I'm on my second set in 3 months

I don't. I never swapped LED's in my 03, just in the 01

I took @Rocket Man advice and just installed these LED's in my Silverado. Obviously haven't driven at night yet, but maybe he has and can give feedback.
