Puddle lamps

[TrailBoss1]

I purchased puddle lamps which project a bow tie onto the ground. They are designed for the Tahoe/suburban but fit the 3500HD properly. However, when they illuminate, the bow tie is projected at an angle to the body (on my wife’s Tahoe they project parallel to the body). Has anyone else had any experience with this?

My GMC puddle lamps are not parallel on my 2500.

Same here and yes the mirrors have to be open position or the lights half project on the side of the truck.

Apparently... not.

Nope, I'm saving my Biden bucks. 

 

Perhaps just pull the bulbs to prevent peeps form laughing at you/your truck?

Was the kit #84408372?  If so, yes they are the same for the SUVs and trucks.

 

Now for the smarta$$ question.  Did you install them on the proper sides?  They are left and right hand specific.

Yes there’s only one way to install them as the connector’s two “prongs” sit perpendicular to each other and are specific to each side. In fact, that’s why I tried to put one on my HD. The set I initially ordered errantly came with two left side units. Numerous e mails to “shop chevy parts” went unanswered so I decided to put one on the Tahoe and a second on the HD.
