So the new 2021 Yukon got released today and I noticed that the headlights on these are completely blacked out and I absolutely love it. The one complaint id have about the new Sierra's for me personally is that theres too much chrome going on in the headlights especially on an AT4 with its darker nature. Was curious if anyone has taken apart/sent out their housings to be blacked out or colour matched? I feel like if these were even just a darker chrome like gun metal it would make the trucks appearance that much better. Also swap out the orange side markers to clear ones! Attached some pics of the new Yukon headlights. If anyone has done this some pics/pricing would be greatly appreciated!

I've done it to my Silverado.  Phil Sheridan at Fastheadlights can help you out with this.  He can be reached on this forum at "fastws6ta" (https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/profile/134157-fastws6ta/) or at his website https://www.fastheadlights.com/default.asp. I had to ship off my headlights, he cracked them open using an oven, put a cover over the amber running light, then removed the amber lens and replaced it with a clear lens.  After that he resealed it and shipped it back to me.  I've posted pics of the end product below  He can also do custom paint on the inside of the light housing.

How much did he charge for that? Been wanting to do the same thing, but there is no way I’m putting my headlights in an oven myself lol

I think it was around $300 but if you contact Phil he can give you an exact quote.  Also, you will have to factor in shipping as these lights are huge when packed and it will need to be insured for about $2,000.

It definitely cleans up the front and sets it apart though.   Go for it!  :)

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
