Even in 2023, many Jeeps, trucks, and SUVs still come from the factory with halogen bulbs. Here, we’ll take a look at two powerful alternative LED bulbs for your 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, or 2023 GMC Sierra 3500HD from ARC Lighting: the Tiny Monster Concept Series and the Tiny Monster Xtreme series.

What are the Concept and Xtreme Series Bulbs?

The Concept and Xtreme Series are LED bulb replacements, perfect for swapping out factory halogen bulbs. With automotive grade LED chips that are paired with a patented cooling technology, these bulbs are designed with precision optics that create long range visibility and zero glare.

The Concept Series LED bulb has a 6,000 lumen output, while the Xtreme Series has 10,000. Both bulbs have a TopAim™ head that rotates 360 degrees for an optimal beam pattern. These bulbs are shock-resistant, making them a great option for all-weather driving.

The compact design of the Concept Series bulb allows it to fit a variety of applications easily.

How do the Concept & Xtreme Series bulbs compare to OEM Halogen bulbs?

While the Tiny Monster Concept Series bulbs are an improvement in brightness over factory halogen bulbs, the temperature (color tone) is a massive improvement over factory bulbs as they emit a much whiter light. Likewise, with the Xtreme Series bulb, there is a significant difference with improved brightness and color tone over the original bulb. 

These are two factors that will make a huge difference when you’re driving at night.

The Xtreme also has a much larger housing than the Concept or factory bulbs, allowing for improved cooling.  This means that your install may be a little tighter with the Xtreme than with the Concept and clocking can be a little bit trickier since the power connector isn’t directly attached to the housing.

How do the Concept and Xtreme Series Bulbs Compare to OTHER Replacement LED Bulbs? 

ARC Lighting, the manufacturer for Tiny Monster Concept and Xtreme LED replacement bulbs is a reliable manufacturer that pays serious attention to quality.  Unlike cheap knock-offs you can find online, ARC performs a lot of research and development and is known for standing behind their product. 

Tiny Monster bulbs are sold both online AND in local truck accessories stores such as Titan Truck, where you can ask questions and get the service you deserve.

So What’s the Takeaway? Which Bulb is Going to be Best for You and Your Vehicle?

If increased brightness output is what you’re looking for, the Xtreme Series bulb is definitely going to be the way to go. But, if size is a concern, the smaller heatsink on the Concept Series bulb is probably going to be a better fit. You will be sacrificing some of that additional brightness output with the Concept Series, but the color tone differences are a massive improvement over standard bulbs.
