Lol. I literally just mentioned wheels to my wife. Her exact words were, "I'll kill you!" She didn't feel that way when I bought her a new set a few months back!

it was not GM's fault, but D.O.T.it requires all vehicles manufactured/sold

in the US to be equipped with amber corner reflectors, and red tail reflectors..you can buy them already factory cleared, but only from over sea's where it is not required.

Great looking headlights and truck. I have to agree, the taillights are too dark for my taste.

Standard No. 108 - Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment - Passenger Cars, Multipurpose Passenger Vehicles, Trucks, Buses, Trailers, (except pole trailers and trailer converter dollies), and Motorcycles (Effective 1-1-68 for vehicles 2,032 mrn (80 or more inches) in width and Effective 1-1-69 for all other vehicles)

This standard specifies requirements for original and replacement lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. Its purpose is to reduce traffic crashes and deaths and injuries resulting from traffic crashes, by providing adequate illumination of the roadway, and by enhancing the conspicuity of motor vehicles on the public roads so that their presence is perceived and their signals understood, both in daylight and in darkness or other conditions of reduced visibility

if you look in each state's motor vehicle code you will find out about required reflectors.. not being an A$$, it's just the law.. :)

I was serious when I asked. Still don't see where it says that amber reflectors are required up front????? And believe me, I'm well aware what Texas requires, and it isn't on our books. In fact, in Texas it only requires that turn signals up front emit an amber or white light, or color in between amber or white, but no reflector requirement. My rig passed inspection no problem too. If there truly is a requirement for reflectors up front I want to see it, which I've yet to. Thanks for the link though.
