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!

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

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.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
