  1. $100 + shipping (your preferred method). I have for sale New in factory bags GMT-900 dealer takeoff mirrors. These mirrors were removed by the dealer at the dealer before the truck left the lot. No scratches or scuffs of any kind. The caps are factory painted black. These mirrors are heated and power glass. They do not power fold and do not have the turn signals in them. Here are the GM Part numbers for your reference: GM 751060 GM 751061 More pics by request.
  2. Hey man, I see you mention that you use D2S Bulbs with this setup. Which D2S Bulbs are you using and with what connectors? I'm running D2H bulbs as most use with this retrofit because I was worried D2S Bulbs with connectors would not fit under the stock headlight caps.
  3. Another happy Magpie Customer here, highly recommend, Customer service is awesome too. Got everything delivered Friday evening, installed Saturday morning (45 mins) and it works great. FYI for Carplay users there is no reason to do the cluster swap and programming anymore. With the "Hey Siri" shortcuts in the latest IOS all you have to do is turn Siri Shortcuts on in your phone settings and say "Hey Siri" while your driving and she talks through the radio. No need to press anything on the screen or steering wheel. Details: Truck is a Pre-August 2015 2500HD LTZ w/ I06 and HD Radio. Got the new Radio and I06 2.5 HMI, plugged right in, confirmed w/ Magpie I would still have HD Radio and I do. Tips, the USB swap was the hardest part (if you want to call it "hard") for me. I'm anal about not scuffing or marring any interior plastic. Mine was extremely tight. I tapped everything off with painters tape around it (as I did with the dash trim when removing it) and used two of the thinnest trim removal tools I had lifting on the back and left side at the same time, it finally popped out in two pieces. Didn't scuff or mar anything, and the new one fit tight as well with no movement. Having a quality set of trim removal tools is key for this install. Also it is a good time to change your cabin air filter while your swapping out the HMI since you have everything removed and its right there, mine was only two years old and needed replacing.
  4. What’s the best way to get the USB outlet out of the inside the console (full console bucket seats). Can it be pulled straight out or does it need to be released from the back? Don’t want to break anything.
  5. 10-4. Unless you can find an old genuine toshiba bulb, don’t waste your $20. Today’s “HIR” bulbs are not made with the technology toshiba patented years ago then stopped making, they are just over driven bulbs. Both my philips “HIR” bulbs failed within the year, they don’t like high beam applications where they are turned on and off constantly on dark roads and the gain was nothing.
  6. Did the gap open up at all compared to stock.? Hard to tell from the pics. Looks good. Also skip the HIR bulbs, I went down that road a few years ago until Diode Dynamics came out with the SL1, HIR bulbs were no better than stock, maybe just a tad, SL1’s were much brighter than both and properly focused.
  7. Awesome. Take lots of pics, I want to see how far back the projector sits from the stock bezel compared to the stock projectors with his brackets. I still have plans to get some, still trying to figure out what to do with the gap. You can clearly see the stock gap in your pic which is small.
  8. Awesome. Do you have any pics of just the brackets, can the brackets be purchased seperately if the 5.0's are already in hand? Would like to see some shots from the front to see that gap. Please post!
  9. Love it. Night and day difference.
  10. ….does anyone know if the extended dust caps for the Silverado are still available? I see them for sale on Shapeways and messaged the seller but haven’t heard back in over a week. I completed a D2S 4.0 projector swap a few weeks ago and am currently running D2H bulbs so everything will fit under the stock caps (plenty of room with D2H bulbs) but would like to switch to OSRAM D2S bulbs which will require extended caps so everything will fit.
  11. Make it easier on yourself and run everything off the trailer wiring harness. I've done the same, added multiple extra turn signals, backup lights, brake lights etc because I tow big and heavy., all wiring off the trailer wire harness with no issues, and every light is LED and hardly any draw, not even an amp when added together.
  12. White with white hardtop. The key is the spot beam, and the angle in which they are oriented at.
  13. I've got them on my jeep using rigid's Dually XL's with spot beams and have a roof mounted rds rigid bar which is also a spot beam. No reflection issues at all: 1) Because the lights have the spot beams and are not diffused, and 2) they are angled properly. Any diffused beam pattern ie Driving lights are going to reflect off the hood. Put those out front.
