The headlamps on my vehicle have been very poor, both in low and high beam positions ever since I purchased the vehicle. Thinking that their must be something wrong with the existing headlamps, I purchased the replacement bulbs and there were no improvements. When driving at night I have to stay on low beam with the fog lights on just to help to see. I can't use my high beams at all because the lighting is so poor. GMC is aware of their headlamp issues on the 2014 and 15 models but nothing is being done about it to my knowledge. Without spending $500-$1000 to change them over to led, is there anything that I can do to improve this situation?.
While driving home the other night both headlights failed at the same time. Lost both high beam and low beam. Tried everything to get them on with no luck. Interment panel showed that they were still on. This was very scary and dangerous as I has traveling on a major highway. Luckily I had fog light to give me some light to gt off the highway safely.
While the head lights and fog lights are on, the right head and fog lights are dim but the left head and fog lights are bright. Also the right turn signal shows error message on the cluster that the bulb needs to be replaced and you can hear it blinking fast, but when I exit the vehicle to inspect the signal I notice that it is not blown and it works fine but I still get the error message and the fast blinking. Both stated problems occur while the vehicle is stationary and when the vehicle is in motion.
The headlights are dangerous! low beams with fog lights on are adequate for <45 mph. Anything faster and you can't see far enough ahead. Forget using the high beams. On dimly lit highways, you can't see in front on the vehicle. The high beams don't illuminate the road so it's safer to use the low beams and hope the 100ft visibility will allow you to slow slightly before killing whatever human/animal/obstacle presents itself. This truck is too dangerous for my family without a retrofit.
Headlights are extremely dim. High beams provide no illumination to the front sides of the vehicle. Using fog lights with low beam is actually brighter than the high beams. Even after having the dealer install new bulbs the lighting is very weak in a low illumination area, I. E. No moon, no street light, road. When making a turn in an un lit area I can't even see where the side of the road ends. These so called projector type headlights don't seem to work very well. I know for a fact the 2014 and 2015 have the same set up. The 2016 has a whole new set up with hid lighting and work great. This tells me that gm knows there is a problem. Unfortunately their "fix" only if you complain, isn't fixing anything. . . On a trip in the smokey mountains in gatlinburg TN I nearly crashed off the side of the mountain. I could not see where the edge of the road was. Even the passengers asked me "what is wrong with your lights?" the said "turn on your high beams" and I stated, "they are on". We can't believe these light pass the common sense test. .
The headlights on my 2015 GMC sierra slt are by far the worst headlights I have ever experienced in the many vehicles that I have driven over the last 30 years. How they passed whatever safety standards there are set in place is beyond me. They do not provide a wide enough beam to see around turns or wildlife that may be on the side of the roadway nor do they light up enough of the road in distance to see anything at all beyond approximately 50 feet while travelling in the dark. This vehicle is unsafe to be driven at any speed during the dark. Sadly the high beams are completely useless as well. There is more light output with the low beams on in conjunction with the fog lights (which isn't saying much) than there is with the high beams on. Driving is the rain is even worse. You cannot even tell that the headlights are on that's how bad they are. I have complained several times to two different dealers and gm directly and was told "that's just how they are and there is nothing that can be done about them". I was given a 2016 sierra as a loaner vehicle while I had my vehicle in for this and several other issues and the headlights on the 2016 vehicle they loaned me are a big improvement over the 2014-15 lights. Gm should be forced to recall all 2014-15 sierras due to these severely hazardous headlights and forced to install the lights that come on the 2016-17 sierras.
