I am no pro at this so take it for what it is worth. I replaced the low beams on my 2022 with Lasfit's and they went in with no problem. I marked a line on the garage door to indicate the level of the lights and then compared that to the level of the new lights and did not have to change anything I also added backup LED from Lasfit and that was also a plug and play deal. So, as far as I know, if you go with either Lasfit or Diode Dynamics (they are significantly more expensive) you should be ok. But, others have posted other brand names that they say have worked as well, so I am not sure other than what I used. Good luck.

 

LasFit makes some really good LED Lights

 

need to be 20-30 feet away from a wall to mark where the OEM lights hit. to be able to adjust the LED lights

adjustment is a phillips head screw, you will see a hole on top of the head lights,

 

Here is a really good thread you should read start to finish. Even if you install LEDs successfully there are other issues you need to be aware of the apply to your Gen2 Colorado. I was all set to upgrade my halogens to LEDs but after reading through this thread I am seriously rethinking my intentions.

most of that thread has old or bogus info in it.
on that other thread , the first video some one posted about a Jeep headlight if you look closely was not a 2 sided LED bulb. but a round bulb to sensationalize the glare for likes and comments...

the led glare issue was when LED bulbs had leds on more than 2 sides, they had them as a triangle 3 sides , 4 sides 5 and even 6 sides with 6 led's scattering light all over. Nobody made a 2 sided LED bulb back then.

now the major ones have 2 sides as thin as can be. Similar to a halogen filament bulb, very little if any glare.

 

As long as you are installing them in projector head lamps that is 95% of the problem solved. You might have to vertical adjust them a bit for cut-off due to the increased output.

Current draw will generally always been less than halogen. Even top tier offers like Diode Dynamics SL2 are rated at 21 watts which is more than half of a standard 55 watt halogen bulb.

LEDs can cause weird issues in more modern vehicles due to how the computer monitors load resistance, but generally its people replacing turn signals that run into the most issues with hyper blinking. Sometimes you will get a random flicker with head lights, but the problem is usually more more common in other bulb replacements on the vehicle.

 

Great feedback and discussions, thanks so much all.

I took a flyer on a pair of Oxilam H11s in the projector low beams (but will not swap out the high beams) and so far they are great. I lowered them a bit, will see if I get flashed on the road at night. No flickering or other weirdness thus far. So much brighter than stock - always felt that the lows were way too dim, especially as we drive a lot of dark mountain roads. When one of the original halogens went out, it was time to up the game.

Sounds like I should avoid blinkers but will try LEDs as taillights go out. You all are great!

LEDs in the high beams are fine even though they're reflector because you never drive with high beams on with oncoming traffic or cars in front of you, the scatter/glare/spillage is a non issue. I have LEDs for lows (projector), highs (reflector), and fogs (Replacement pods, not LEDs in the factory reflector housing). My low beams put out better light than the highs but the highs throw light further since there's no cut-off.

When I'm driving at night my main concern is wildlife and my lows + fogs provide a much better view of the sides of the road than lows + highs which work better for seeing further down the road. If I could run all 3 at once (I'm sure there's a mod) then that would be ideal, but I often switch between lows + fogs and lows + highs depending on the terrain/landscape.

 

I've been impressed with the DD Fogs that I'm going to look into some LED replacement headlights. Will probably do a complete replacement rather than just bulbs...

 

I went LED on my 2020 easy to install people always high beam me thinking my high beams are on. I see way better with them then the actual high beam. Got mine at NAPA cost me 130

 

No aftermarket LED is perfect. They will flicker and cause the hyper blinking at times. As for better view down the road some are better than others.
you will get flashed if not adjusted properly.

O just replaced my current LED headlight with lasfit let’s see how long they last. There Oder tail light brake lamps caused would hyper flash at times. Also could see it on my scanner that said both my rear lights were out but nothing on the dash. I emailed them and never got a replacement. The older version was out of stock going to there newest version.
