Reverse Light 9005 Bulb Adapter
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
Description
Update 4/4/2023 - Uploaded a version 2 that should be more compatible with different bulbs. I swapped the bulb to one without a fan because the fan noise bugged me. Also the locking tab is more flexible. Created an adapter to fit 9005 bulbs for the reverse lights on my 2003 Chevy Avalanche. The gasket from the factory bulb holder should be fitted on the new adapter. The adapter should create a dust and water resistive seal. I built the 9005 slots based on the led bulbs I ordered. The mounting tabs on 9005 bulbs do not seem to be modified for other 9005 bulbs. I used cheap 9005 led bulbs from Aliexpress. NO CANBUS + 6000k + 9005/HB3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000134087947.html For wiring an adapter harness can be made from a 9005 socket and 3157 male adapter. Links below: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0859Z2T9D https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Wiring-Harness-Headlight-Retrofit/dp/B076FMCR2K I would recommend printing in PETG or ABS for better heat resistance especially if you live in a hot climate.
