Not sure what Calgary used for bulbs, but I used the NOKYA 7440 Hyper White bulbs. No resistors needed and give it the "LED" look. All for about $28.00 . DEFINITELY look better than the incandescent "yellow-ish" bulbs. . Unfortunately I was stupid and didn't get a side by side...so these will have to do..1st pic is incandescent..2nd is the NOKYA bulb..

You’ve convinced me to give them a try, just got them off eBay for $19 for the pair. I’d rather not take off my bumper nor pay $90+ for the LED harness

. Yeah. I was looking for something to replace those "yellowy" factory bulbs and knew I didn't want aftermarkets(bumper removal) and I didn't want to have to add resistors and such. Have had the NOKYA's in for a little over a year now. Still look great and no Hyper blinking or any other issues. Did the license plate bulbs too, but for those I used the Diode Dynamics license plate LED's(they are plug and play...no resistors for those either). Here are the pics of those(one of each..factory and diode dynamics, then one with both diode dynamics installed). ....sorry for the sideways pics!

Very nice, do you remember if you went with the 6000K or 5000K from their website? (For the license plate bulbs)

Finished two coats of ceramic wax before heading out on a fall drive across the most interesting roads in the state.

Thanks for the ideas on the reverse lights and the license plate lights! I'll be ordering those soon! If you haven't replaced your trunk light, replace that too! There are really bright options out there and it's pretty easy to do.

Yes, I replaced any and all bulbs that looked slightly yellow/old fashion

Same here! . I don't get why they(GM) doesn't just make ALL the lights(inside and out, LED's). My 2020 Silverado Trail Boss was the same way!..All LED'S except the license plate and reverse lights. So naturally those have been swapped also
