i did try left to right and I believe the light was still blinding and it was useless as a fog light since it left dark spots in the middle. I might have uploaded images of it, but I don't remember. I tried other angles also. I made a shrouds that blocks the top and supports the whole thing so mine are solid than and tighter sealed than they come stock. I drive all the time with them on and have no issues. I'm pretty sure your round housing is not going to apply in any way the rectangle lights on the Silverado.

This is why I'm wrapping mine with carbon fiber vinyl. It has texture to make it look much more like the real thing.

You can dip carbon fiber patterns all day long. But this local place just did a shit job. The sample they showed me and the end result were a work of difference.

Nothing major or appearance / performance related, but added a USB Hub that will allow me to charge and use more devices at once.... Because yes, the 4 available ports aren't enough. Nothing's ever enough :)

 

(Tested and works)

Installed the home link garage door opener in my truck. Something about having it built in instead of using the actually garage door opener (first world problems)

I didnt drive the truck out and get a good shot of the beam pattern, but you can already see it is awesome!

Here it shows that they pretty much match the DDM 5000k just fine :)

The 5202 collar are just garbage by design, worst bulb socket EVER! Keep in mind, between the collar and the bulb base thread is not sealed! I had to take it out again and add Teflon tape to seal.

I have measured and used the offset from

The clips are so bad, I broke one of them. I end up clipping all of them off and zip tied the crap out of them!

I'm not trying to toot my own horn here but my truck looks freaking awesome! I had to run by the shop during lunch to talk with them and I was blown away. I can't wait to get in the drivers seat tonight. Only issue is that BDS didn't include the hardware bag for the skid plates. So I'm running a little naked underneath for a few days.

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
