Chevy Silverado HD customers interested in upgrading their rig with some fresh headlights can do so with these new LED units from aftermarket lighting company Morimoto.
Morimoto is actually offering two LED headlight kits for the Chevy Silverado HD customers, starting with the company’s XB LED series. The XB LED series includes triple-projector optics with integrated adjusters that make them easy to aim and stay within regulations, as well as sequential LED daytime running lights that are bright even during the day. The LED turn signals are a significant upgrade over the incandescent lights, while the sequential model can be disabled for those that prefer a simple flashing animation.
The lights include a UV-coated polycarbonate lens, PPS plastic housing, and die-cast aluminum heat-sinks, as well as OEM-grade Osram LED chips for illumination. Installation is also easy thanks to a plug-and-play design that doesn’t require any modifications – simply plug the factory connectors into the new assemblies, with each kit including all the components required for a DIY install. Check out the install and overview video right here:
Morimoto’s new Chevy Silverado HD XB LED headlights are DOT approved and either meet or exceed all related SAE and FMVSS108 regulations. Pricing is set at $1,800, per the Morimoto website. The lights fit 2020 model-year-and-later Chevy Silverado HD vehicles.
If that’s a little too expensive for your taste, Morimoto is also offering the XB Hybrid LED headlights kit for 2020 model-year-and-later Chevy Silverado HD vehicles. Compared to the non-hybrid kit, the XB Hybrid kit includes many of the same components and features, but two projectors, as opposed to three for the XB LED series. The XB Hybrid kit also incorporates standard incandescent bulbs for the turn signals, rather than integrating with the daytime running light strip. What’s more, installation is still simple, while the components are DOT-approved as well.
Pricing for the Morimoto XB Hybrid LED headlights for the Chevy Silverado HD is set at $1,200, per the Morimoto website. Check out the kit’s overview and installation video here:

Such a better and safer option than illegally throwing in LED’s or HID’s in to the reflector housing.
2023 Equinox FWD LS – base MSRP with freight: $27,995 – LED Headlamps – standard
2023 SIlverado 2500 LT Crew Cab 4WD – base MSRP with freight: $53,095 – Halogen Headlamps – standard
Adding LED headlamps requires the Z71 Chrome Sport Edition: MSRP with freight: $59, 540
It is pretty insulting. Even just supplying simple reflector based LED lights (which the Equinox lights are, IIRC) would be worlds better.
I have an Equinox loaner right now- the low beam is good, the high beam ads ZERO usable light.
I am 100% against providing these type of lights to idiots that jack their truck up so high that their LED lights blind normal car vehicles and the lower SUV’s. At least the OEM lighting isn’t as bad and probably is the reason the U.S. lags behind the rest of the world in bright vehicle lighting. Lawmakers realize that there are a lot of immature folks out on the roads. And don’t think for one minute that having these super bright lights and having a raised chassis provides any safety benefit to doing so other than drawing attention to oneself or to intimidate other drivers on the roads. Sorry to vent and my apologies to those true off-road aficionados.
At least the GM HDs are better than the competition in that regard- the actual headlights are lower in the facia, so they don’t start out excessively high, unlike the lights on a Ford SD.
Nice looking red HD enhanced with LEDs.
I have LEDs, I travel on state hwys with no shoulders at night and I would never go back to halogens as I can see wider into the trees on the sides of the hwy and I’m better off spotting deer’s and critters. As for the city driving, the people flashing me are the ones driving with LEDs in their Lexus vehicles. Actually, more types of manufactures but I’ve seen Acura drivers flash me too… Ok for them but when it comes to a truck, bad…. bad…. get off the road with those LEDs. So, when I get flashed, I turn on my brights to make their point – we both have LEDs…
