GM Authority did a thorough breakdown of the different lighting options that are available with the Trailblazer.

I wish LED lighting was standard in vehicle nowadays, so that's a bit disappointing. But LED lights are available with the optional Technology Package, which comes with Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Plus system, HD radio SiriusXM with 360 Bose premium seven-speaker system, Memory card receptacle, Wireless phone projection, Wireless Charging, Adaptive Cruise Control, HD Rear Vision Camera, Enhanced 4.2-inch diagonal multi-color display, and Driver Information Center

Here's what's available for the front lighting:

2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Front Lighting

	L	LS	LT	ACTIV	RS
Signature LED Daytime Running Lamps	S	S	S	S	S
Halogen Headlamps	S	S	S	S	S
LED Headlamps	N/A	N/A	N/A	A1	A1	A1
LED Fog Lamps:	N/A	N/A	S	S	S

As for the lighting, let’s start in front, where we find three individual elements – daytime running lamps, headlamps, and fog lamps. Both halogen and LED elements are on offer here, with halogen headlamps offered as standard across the lineup, and LED headlamps offered higher in the range in conjunction with the optional Technology Package (RPO code CWN). Signature LED daytime running lamps are also standard across the range, while LED fog lamps are standard higher in the range.

Here's what's available for rear lighting:

Finally, in back, the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer is equipped with either halogen tail lamps, or LED tail lamps, with standard outfit determined by the trim level:

Halogen tail lamps	S	S	S	N/A	N/A

At this point I'm surprised that LED lights aren't the standard. It's time to move on from halogen lights.

It really is, they make such a big difference on the roads it's ridiculous.

I wish mine did not have the optional LED low beam headlights, because the cut off is so low and sharp that on a dark road and someone is walking on the shoulder you really only see them from the knees down and also it seems the standard green street signs are not lit up until your almost past them. Not to mention always getting flashed by oncoming traffic. I am not sure if the poor light output is from the LEDs or the projector headlights. But either way I wish they were still halogen reflector headlights.

I have a FWD RS. Have you noticed an aim issue or dark spots in the beam?

The little triangles in the light are normal.

I wish they put ore lighting IN the TB. At night when it is dark, getting into the TB is a bit dark in there. Hell my 72 Skylark has floor lights front and back.

I will gladly swap you my Halogen bulbs from my RS for your LED bulbs - just let me know

I would like to say yes, but have to say no because I previously inquired with the parts manager at the dealership and they said it can't be done, because of different headlamp housings. Even the pictures in the owners manual on pages 267 and 268 show different housings. Even if they did swap I probably would not be any further ahead because I would still be stuck with projector head lamps.

Sorry,
Dale

I had LEDs in my 2013 Spark, put them on my wife's car too. I had to do the same with this one. I didnt like the two different color temp of lights either. Got the Cougar Motor X set for $55 on Amazon.

That replaced the fogs also? Do you need to?

I didn't replace the fogs, didn't feel it was necessary considering they were LEDs as well.
