Agreed!  Love these at night. I’m just debating now if I wanna pit some VHT night shade on them to kinda match the black headlight and tail lights 

I think they look good as is, but that's just my opinion. If anything, I'd paint the housing white to match the truck.

Eh. I like how the black breaks up the white. I don’t think I’d like color matched on those

I am adding flood lights to brighten up when i go in reverse.  I have the 2" square Rough Country lights that switch using the Homelink Buttons but i would like them to come on with the Cargo Lights instead.  Anyone know the best way to pass a wire from the cab to the engine bay on the passenger side?

I ran a harness down the frame on the drivers side pretty easily. It popped up near the grommet to go into the cab. It may be the same or very similar on passenger side. There’s a small chance I’m actually running a wire to my wheel well after work today if I have the time. If I do I’ll let you know where I ran it

I did this on my 01 Tahoe and loved it, especially since I had limo tint on all the rear windows. These paired with a good reverse camera are perfect. 

How did you figure out where to cut the hole? Yours looks really centered which I like. 

I bought the flush mounts and had everything taped off and found the dead center and was ready to start cutting and when I looked at the backside of the bumper I thought the flush mounts housing would hit the brackets on the backside. I ended up holding off on the project cause I was worried that I would cut the holes and not be able to get them to sit and to me I didnt see a good spot to get them in not way off center. Did you trim the back brackets too?

I actually did it backwards. I placed them where I thought they looked centered on the bumper, then cut the holes out. It wasn't until I tried mounting them that I noticed they hit the brackets so I just trimmed the lights a little on the backside fins and then they fit good. If you try to clear the brackets completely, they end to far towards the license plate and I didn't care for that, but that's my opinion. From there, I just wired them into the trailer light plug reverse wire, pretty simple. I made a template, taped it off, drilled some starter holes and used a jigsaw to cut the holes out.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      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.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      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

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      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.
