There has been a lot of talk on here about led bulbs, some having issues and others not. Let's start a list of ones that work or don't.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XHDYTGL?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

These work for fog lights with no modifications or canbus adapter needed

They also work for headlights with a small modification to the dust cap and no canbus adapter needed.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MQEIRTO?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

These fit the drl with some trimming of a tab on the bulb. However there is an issue of them staying on very dim for up to an hour after the vehicle is shut off. Possibly a canbus issue. I would not recommend these.

I recently installed these for the DRLs and they work great. Fit was perfect and they shut off completely when the vehicle is off. No issues and light output was great, direct plug and play.


I'm unable to post the link to them but you can search "Catinbow LED Fog Light Bulbs PSX24W" in Amazon and they'll come up.

Do you happen to have pics of the beam pattern? Just curious how they are compared to the stock bulbs.

The lower current draw from LED bulbs can make the canbus system think the bulb is out. Using some LED bulbs requires the use of an additional component to prevent canbus error lights.

I had no issues with mine. Adjustment was fairly easy and no additional harness was required. Install might suck but light output is great with them. I originally purchased the aux beam's but the beam was everywhere and they have no adjustment whatsoever. Also, they did not fit with the dust cover back on them.

You have to loosen three screws from the inner fender by the wheel well, and move move it enough so I can reach under it to the back of the light bulb, trust me took me a while to figure this out. I almost took apart the whole bumper cuz i wanted to change the bulbs so bad.

I started using these guys:

https://www.lasfit.com/

Look up what you need there or on eBay just put there name in the search and what bulb you need. Their CANBUS turn signal lights are great no errors and all high-quality stuff(have them in my compass and Tahoe). Not the cheapest but they are really helpful on messages and take back returns easily. Just did my whole Tahoe with there products with new headlight and had to return some stuff it was no problem at all.

Bought some Chinese cheap crap for my DRL on the compass and they stay on after the car is off. Going to replace what I can from these guys then go from there.

so, for now, Tahoe is completely done with the company above no errors. the compass only has CANBUS turn lights installed but will come back and let you know how everything looks and works on the compass once it is done.

PS: doing a project to switch my reflective headlight to projector headlight from some Chinese manufacturers, that thread is in the mods area if you want to just keep an eye on it. more DRL on that headlight and will have turn signal LED in the headlight as well. so we will see.... haha

I got IronWall LEDs for high beams, low beams, and fogs for Christmas. Hoping to get them installed tomorrow. Will let everyone know how they do

IronWalls are garbage. Fitment issues in the factory housings, then they scattered light like crazy once I did get them in. And they put out less light than the factory bulbs.

These look like them:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/123149427571

I didn't try the high beams. I tried installing one low beam, had fitment issues, so I swapped to the other. Finally got it in, just to have less light and more scatter. It was daylight out, but I was in the shade. I could clearly see the factory light output and cutoff, but the new LED I couldn't see at all. I originally thought it wasn't even on, until I noticed a slight shadow on the wall. I did notice the LED on this bulb was slightly higher than the filament on the factory bulb. That probably caused the excess scatter. After all of that, I didn't even bother with the rest of the bulbs. Personally, I'd go somewhere else for a quality LED.

Yeah I have seen those on eBay, for high beams you need the low profile 9005 LED blubs, I am not sure even HID would fit ?

I used these: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/332041452404

To fit the High beams you need LED without a fan. I don't think they help much and I don't feel like putting in the old halogen blubs. Again it is hard to see if they are helping because of my lowbeams.

Bummer man hope you find some

Ok wanted to update this thread to keep the info flowing here and also keeps it in one place.

The whole car is now LED inside and out. The CANBUS system only checks for the following bulbs and everything else is plug and play. (For me at least)

Front turn signal (amber blinking bulb next to DRL) 7443 use these, only get code show up when you sit a long time with it on at a turn light, it will warn you then go off again right away. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-7443-7444-Switchback-No-Hyper-Flash-LED-Turn-Signal-Corner-Blinker-Light/123474473039
Taillight brake/turn signal (the breaking bulb is also the turn signal) 7443 I am looking into this more I want a red blub but not sure on china quality of CANBUS no code ones in red. Using this with a moded resistor double clip for the movement but don't like the loose fit on the resistor: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-2x-7443-7444-Red-LED-Tail-Light-Bulb-for-Chevy-Traverse-09-17-Sonic-12-16/123353209141
Parking lights (front and back) T10 you have to use CANBUS ones these worked great no codes | Red for the back: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-T10-Red-Color-LED-Interior-Light-Dome-Trunk-Side-Marker-License-Map-Bulb/123004561458 | Amber for the front: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-2x-194-T10-Amber-LED-Side-Marker-Light-for-Chevy-Silverado-1500-2500-3500/123276050987 PS: If you just use white it doesn't look good, the white bleed through the plastic and you can tell it is white. looks nicer when you use the right colors.

Everything else that I have switched has had no need for CANBUS special bulbs. List below on everything that didn't need special bulbs or resistor.

DRL (2504 just picked up cheap eBay one works fine)
Headlight low/high beams (H11 low beam-again cheap eBay they work ok going to switch to projector HID anyway, 9005-done get one with a fan it won't fit)
Fog Lights (H11 cheap fog yellow on eBay work good, they are meant for fog, get without a fan for easy install with a fan for longer bulb life and brighter)
Reverse lights - 7443 - Here is what I used no codes no problems - https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-7440-7443-LED-Backup-Reverse-Lights-for-Honda-Accord-96-2012-CR-V-97-2016/122852812612
All interior bulbs (just FYI these are all T10 you need 7 in total, don't know the vanity mirror bulbs yet. Used these after I had china glow and my kids wouldn't shut up about it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-T10-168-194-LED-Interior-Light-Bulb-License-Map-Side-Marker-6000K-White/123043426833 To be honest they are much brighter and better overall so thank god for my kids. :pat:

The projection HID aftermarkets are here and i updated the other thread, I will just link it because I am being lazy and tired of typing ;)

I installed my eBay LED headlights today. They're MostPlus brand. I got a kit that had 2 sets of H11 (low beams and fogs) and a set of 9005 (high beams). The low beams and fogs I installed after a couple hours, but the high beams don't fit. The fan on the back of the LED is too large and hits the housing. I've added before and after pics; I'm roughly 5ft from the wall. When the LEDs are aimed right, they have a similar beam as the halogens. They look brighter in the pics, but it's not as noticable in person. I kept the factory bulbs, so if I don't like them, or feel they have too much glare, I'll send them back.

Hey all - random question here.
I have installed LED DRLs in my 2019 Compass as well as Beamtech LED Fogs.
I do have the premium light group which includes the Bi-Xenon HID Headlamps.

My question is, I cannot for the life of me get the DRLs to stay on when the headlights are turned on.
I can get them to stay on in all other light modes but for whatever reason the two will not stay on together.

I have tried 3 different types of LED DRLs and have the same luck. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

I think the DRLs turn off when the headlights turn on. I'd have to double check against my Compass this weekend, but I think that's normal operation

@RadRacer I figured out the vanity mirror bulbs and removal. Get your plastic trim pry tool, go to the passager side just in case you somehow screw something up and break some plastic. Take the plastic pry tool and get under the plastic at the BOTTOM and pull up. If you do from the top you will break something. Once you get the bottom free then pull out a little bit then down to take out the plastic mirror and hinge. Once you do this, both bulbs will turn on they are T5 bulbs. I got these off eBay because they did not look like total crap.

T5 Vanity bulbs: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-6000k-W...nity-Mirror-Footwell-Light-Bulbs/321977882815

Now once you replace them they actually go all the way through where the regular bulbs sit. Just push them in till it seems right to you on where the regular bulb was and test fit the mirror before putting it all the way back on. Other than that, easy replacement!

My DRL were throwing a fault finally, they were crap anyway from China(they had the glow). I replaced with my own recommendation of last bulbs, they are overkill. No more codes and no more glow :)

2504 DRL bulbs: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LASFIT-520...Kit-for-GMC-Canyon-2015-2017-60W/122665091889

They go in hard you really have to push because the rubber ring to keep water and moisture out is aggressive! Either way, it works great!

Lastly, I still need to do the headlight replacement :( I am also looking for new fog light LED that is yellow. I have some now but they leave a small glow, although I did pay good money for them and they were USA made :(

That's it for now, good luck @RedRacer

Been a lot of questions lately so I wanted to bump this. Let people know what we already tested so people can save money and time!

I've tumbled down this rabbit hole of trying to change all of my girlfriend's Compass lights to LEDs... Please send help.

I've tried Beamtech and Fahren for highbeams, and they don't fit... both issues were the housing--I didn't even bother with the dustcover. I bought the low beams for these brands, they were fine, able to get them in and put the dustcover one but my OCD won't let me keep them.

For the front turn signals, I put on iBrightstar 7443 Switchback LED Bulbs but they didn't do the dual light switching I was hoping for--and they gave the hyper flash error. Returned.

For interiors, I'm currently on Yorkim T10/194/168, but they give the glow--though they turn off after a bit. I don't like them, they'll be returned soon.

I just ordered a full round of Lasfit bulbs for exterior and interior lights, let's see how this goes...
 
#47 ·
These LasFit bulbs came in, and I have a feeling they won't fit the factory housing--certainly not with the Dustcover. I'll attempt it later today, but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna go. Here's a pic of them against the Fahren's that didn't fit:
13508


Anyone have a set of LED bulbs for the Highbeams that fit the original housing, maybe even the dustcover?
 
#46 ·
The lasfit will work, it won't do the flashback for the turn signal. Going white and Amber, but it will not give code unless it is a long light then it will give hyper flash. Just like it states on the site when you buy it.
 
#50 ·
are you looking for just a color match to the low beams or for better light output??

if you want to just color match maybe try these.
They are the same size as a halogen bulb. Should fit with no problems

i got these in my fog lights. Basically match the halogen bulbs in output. Sometimes the bulbs have that glow after turned off and sometimes they don’t. Other then that they work good.
 
#52 ·
Well, got a "Best offer" in on 2 sets of Auxito H11's and Hopefully winning (the only bid) on a set of 9005's. It'll save me a few bucks from what Amazon wanted.

Thanks for sharing your success story. Just hope they last..............keep the Halogens handy, lol
 
#53 ·
Hi all again, it's been about a week with the Auxito (high, low, fog), and I can back up Mclink12's claim on these LED's. They work quite well, no flickering, no faults, fit behind dust covers, nice and bright, with very little dark spotting (hardly noticeable). Only thing left is longevity. they give you a 2 year warranty...we'll see how that goes.
