So you did end up cutting the lights open?

Yes dremeled them open and laid OCI rubber butyl down around the rim to reseal. Also I went ahead and used my heat gun to heat up the butyl before putting the lens back to it so it would be more mailable and would hopefully seal better. Waiting for the first rain to come to see how well they are sealed.

Yes, I'm taking plenty of pics and gonna upload them to photobucket and when I get a chance, I'll get on my laptop and type up a write up. The process is all really simple, a lot simpler than one may think, but it's a lot of tedious work

Finally have the headlights completely finished. They are sealed, installed, and all wires for the headlights have been run and hid as best as possible.

 

And now I come to the realization that I still have to do the fogs :/

I wonder if I can get them without having to remove them. That would make my day haha

[emoji23][emoji23] nice one! I stole one of those from Spurshot a while back. And I'll post up some pics in a bit! I decided I may not do halos in the pods. But If I don't, then I will do backlighting!

 

Ps, for anyone who may be curious, or maybe no one has ever really thought to care about this lol, but I realized earlier that the DOT pods are nothing but a hyper spot pod with a different lens. I opened it earlier today and the lenses for the LEDs looked just like a hyper spot pod

Just wired everything today! Took all day but I also took breaks unlike yesterday haha. Working out in the sun takes its toll on you, which is why I'm glad my uncle still hasn't come to get his EZ-Up tents that he brought over for Easter cause I took full advantage of that thing today [emoji23]

 

But jokes aside, after a long 2 days of working on these lights, I'm really really happy with how it turned out[emoji106][emoji106]

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
