Post a picture once you get them installed. I agree that they look too much like the last generation headlamps. They need the divider to go with the grill better...

Not over the top so that's good, but like the others I like how the stock lights has the divider that matches the grille. Makes it look like the grille shell goes around the headlights like my 98 did. Plus the stock lights being divided better they look similar to the lights on my old 86 Chevy. That's one of the reason I love this body style is that the boxy look resembles my old 86. If you like the previous body style lights then those should make you happy.

 

I did have plans to put the LTZ projector lights on mine, but I might wait until I find a set that has more black background (still clear lense) to match the truck while still looking factory.

yea when the 2014 first came out the first thing i thought of when i seen the front ends is how they looked like the 88-98 models from the front, ive always loved that square body look of the 80s & 90s chevy trucks.. i miss my 96 silverado.. but yea i think ima like how these look once i put em on.. i plan on doing the grill black eventually too, maybe even bedliner the bumper & grill or painted flat black on both.. i want the front end blacked out.. still debating on it all though.. going for an aggressive hd 2500 look.. but yea man that would be cool i think the LTZ projector lights would look good on your truck.

At first I wanted to black out everything on the truck and have 0 chrome. That's what I had in mind if I ever got a black truck. But, after about a month of having the truck I actually like how the chrome looks with the black, even the emblems. So I think I may keep some of the chrome so give a little contrast. So far the only chrome I want to change now is the bumpers. I don't want the bumpers painted though, I want them to be black chrome. So they will be both black and still be chrome. At first I thought about just getting black High Country bumpers but I don't have the sensors so I'll have to figure out how to make them black chrome. I think I may keep the grille and headlights chrome. I thought about making the headlight trim black while keeping the grille chrome, but I figured that would look too much like a GMC, Ford or Dodge with just a chrome grille that sticks out.

All black does look mean.. black & chrome go together better than any other color i think.. to keep the chrome/black ratio balanced id do like you said and get the bumpers done in black chrome & leave the grill & headlight trim chrome. maybe try see how it looks on paint or a photoshop program.

I've seen black chrome before and I think my black exhaust tips are black chrome so I know what it would look like. I have a pretty good imagination, even though sometimes I do need to see how something looks. I mainly only need to see a picture is if I'm working on something and I might need to see how it looks to understand better. Sometimes I'll read something and not totally understand it unless I see a picture of it lol. It would look similar to paint but would stand out a little more. Another reason I want black chrome over paint is that chrome bumpers seem to hold up better than painted bumpers.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer just confirmed that GM is "out of AC compressors."  Not sure if all 2019 to 2026 trucks use the same compressor, but a shortage like that is hard to believe.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I think we're reaching the end of constant projects/work.   The water pump bolt appears to have self-sealed, as it's not leaking anymore. I'll take it, and, I'm ready should it self-unseal! I was also getting an oil leak at the front oil pan seal and timing cover and came to find a pan bolt on the corner wasn't even finger-tight. Too easy. And, it was. But, it appears tightening it has reduced a leak producing spots on the ground every time I parked, to just a weep, leaving an occasional dot on the cardboard that lives under it while parked. That's acceptable on a 30 year old engine in my book. I do hate leaks, but, replacing the pan seal is quite the job.   The rear washer line is reconnected and the sprayer works, although getting an intermittent washer fluid drip off the bottom. I think it's just residual...the reservoir filled up the channel in the rear floor and drained down into the upside-down spare tire/wheel. So there are residual puddles all over under there, will wait a few days for it to spill out and dry before I go chasing a potential leak.   The door speaker...no dice. Speaker works just fine, it's that channel in the factory amp that's gone bad. Can't win 'em all. And, whomever buys this will probably tear out the factory radio for something more modern anyway.   I put about 110 miles on it yesterday. Put a lot of wind and heat into it with some mountain driving. Still runs great. Near the top of the pass I got off on a gravel side road and put about 10 miles on with 4hi engaged. Works great.   If ya squint, she's mint! God I wish these were still in production. I can see why they're not. They're rudimentary bordering on agricultural. They began life as a pickup truck and then modern society demanded the rear be enclosed for kids and crap. They're still a pickup underneath, and that gives them lots of ride character, sway and bounce and bump steer. They're alive on the road, and, at least for purposes of nostalgia, it makes driving one a lot of fun.   The Check Engine light did come back on the pass, P0134 for the upstream O2 sensor dropping out. Putting heat into the exhaust causes it after about 10-15 seconds of increased load at higher RPM. The downstream sensor is completely mangled (someone clearly had a rough time removing it, but they didn't replace it?) so I'll just put two in it. For what, mostly to cure the CEL, I can tell the cat is damaged. It's not plugged or fractured, but it's not catalyzing. There's some guilt in not fixing it, but at a cost of $500+, the truck just won't get driven much under my watch. I dislike the smell...running the truck in the shop even with both doors open and the overhead fans blasting, I still reek of pre-cat exhaust. Sticks to clothing and everything else.   Window motor (I'm dreading this), and tires, and that should be about it. 50/50 on Starfire Solarus H/T's, or spending $20 more per tire and going with Cooper Discoverer RT's. I like the look of the RT's a lot more, but is it worth it? I've got a really good (just very old) Toyo Open Country XTX on there now and I like it.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      From what I've seen, they "could" sell the switch but designed the assembly such that the switch can't be readily removed and replaced without removing a plastic locating pin.  Sure appears aimed at forcing the end user to purchase a $900 shifter assembly instead of a $20 switch.  Thankfully I still have some extended warranty left...  this one has had warranty repairs almost every 5K miles from the day I bought it.

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm well aware of the typical bathtub failure curve, but plotted, this truck has been more like an elevated straight line.  It started days off the lot with misfires that GM couldn't solve for almost 2 years, and steadily continued over the last 5 years with repeat replacements of wiring harnesses, camera modules, cameras, parking sensors, head unit, rear windows, rear leaf springs and bushings, lower control arms, a radiator, and now an ac compressor and a column shift assembly.
