That Front Head Light package is week vs what many have done to their 2014-2015 Trucks... DropKicks Truck is way better...

 

Really, those ebay lights? Definitely do not agree there. Clean and simple > excessive and ostentatious....

 

They gave a base model 22k truck the same headlights many luxury cars have, and now those same owners that have done that won't have to anymore. Not seeing the "weak" part. Guess you can't appease everyone. First they are weak and old school so people complain, now they are industry leading, people complain...

Yup... Those E-bay light are better IMO... Mainly because of the Day Time Running LED's... The 2016 design is.... Yup, you guessed it.... WEAK!

This thread goes to prove that opinions are like assholes, just not as useful. If you don't like it, don't buy it. :chevrolet:

 

So, if you don't like opinions, why did you post anything at all? Just saying....

Ugh. Cmon Chevy! Listen to your customers and GET THAT FRONT END OFF THE GROUND! That is lower than most cross over SUVS and many cars. How are we supposed to do any work off road with a front end that is that low to the ground?
