My bad I don't realize or don't look close enough. [emoji19]

No worries!

Just ordered a set of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E6K9WE0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416530998&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

I'll report back once I've got them installed. Should be next week.

That looks like them.

How did you come up with the number? Quite a bit cheaper too I see!

There's a whole bunch of numbers written on the side of the bulb and I just started googling them. You should note, that the price on Amazon is for one bulb so you need to order two of them.

10-4. I updated the first post of this thread with that info.

I would be interested to confirm this with at least 1 other 2015i owner to make sure they all switched.

Post up pics when you get them installed!

 

[Lyon]

Will do. I'm also curious to see if all the other 2015i are like mine.

I can confirm that the 2015i needs the different bulb shown here:

For anyone going to do this change over, you really need at least a car jack that you can put underneath each side as you go to do it. It would be near impossible to try to just reach under and change out the bulb (unless you are a contortionist). I really like the color of these bulbs, but I'm still not satisfied with the intensity/brightness.

Good. Those are what I ordered. They'll be here on Tuesday.

As mentioned in another post, I bought the fogs mentioned above, and I like the color, but I'm not 100% satisfied with the brightness/output. I did some searching for the PSX26W bulbs and found these which claim they are 50w vs the 30w of the ones I already purchased. They definitely have more LEDs (16 vs 6).

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OVQWX3G/

In fact, they are only $5.02 per bulb more (they come 2 in a pack, whereby the ones above are single bulbs).

I'm considering getting a set to try them out, but I'm somewhat concerned about heat buildup also. I know guys had issues on the last gen Yukons and actually had deformation of the housing using higher wattage bulbs. The fog light area is not as small as the last gen Yukon so it might not be an issue. I also sent a message to Dante (HIDGuy) to ask him if he offers a higher output bulb than the 30w that I bought. I plan to ask him about the heat buildup also. I'll probably wait to hear from him before trying.

One of the nice things about LEDs is that they generally produce far less heat than traditional bulbs. They probably don't draw nearly 50w in any events.

I haven't seen my truck coming at me yet...but I'm not for sure leds brighter than 30 watt wouldn't be blinding to oncoming drivers in the 15+ fog light housings. Mine will light tree tops and signs 3/4 of a mile down the road.....

 

[jenielsen]

Hmm, I'm wondering then if the Putco bulbs you received are different from the "white labeled" vacuum-bagged lights that I received. I can tell you that staring at the bulbs, they are bright, but when I see the light that they put out on the road, I'm not impressed.

My Putco bulbs came in a plastic box like thing with a clear front on it. Like they were package to hang on a shelf for display. Like I said, they are really bright.

 

[jenielsen]

Yeah, that's not how mine came. These were in a white plastic baggie, with a heat seal. I've seen the Putco bulbs hanging in the local Auto store. Realistically, these are not Putco bulbs, and is probably why I'm not feeling that these are that bright.

I replaced my fog lights with the putcos and think they're AMAZING. I also did the back up lights.... HUGE difference too.

I have a standard SLT, so my headlights are halogen I'm guessing. They look yellow compared to the putco driving lights and the LED daytime running lights. Can I just replace the halogen driving light with a brighter / whiter / hotter kelvin bulb without having to deal with the headache of HID Denali lighting? Silverstar Ultra?

If so, what do you recommend, think? Part numbers and where to buy appreciated.

 

[Lyon]

Screw you too Amazon.

Not the right bulb either?

One was perfect. The other was wrong.

Unbelievable!!! [emoji35]

 

[jenielsen]

I see it now. It's the placement of the small "keystone" on the left side...
One is down at the bottom left, other is at the middle/top left

Edit - Personally, I don't think it's Amazon's fault as they don't package them up. The manufacturer is the one who packaged them and sent them to Amazon.
Good is with Prime, they will take them back with no issues.

 

[Lyon]

You're right, it's not at all Amazon's fault. I was just venting a little. Anyway, the return is in the works and the new one will be here Monday.
