Regardless if you get mine or not, I HIGHLY recommend these over the XB's. They are significantly brighter and they illuminate the sides of the road. The pic below is with my retrofit HIDs (white in the middle) and the ss3's (yellow outsides).  Includes the clear cover lenses which are a little dirty but they should clean up fine, they are replaceable if you don't like them or want another set and are cheap. 

 

The ones I have are:

SS3 LED Fog Light Kit for 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500

SKU: DD6228

I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the XB's, but have been pretty disappointed in the output lately (funny thing is, I really praised em when I upgraded from OEM lol). These look INSANE, I've heard more than just you that say it's not even a comparison between the two. I really was looking for the white fogs, but let me think on it. Damn good price.

No problem I'll throw them up on ebay or consider putting them on my tdi. lol

 

I too once had the XB's. these are no comparison.

Morimoto Retrofits includes everything to give you a plug and play headlight upgrade with a clean cutoff. Headlights have switchback boards installed also. 

 

 

Going to move these to ebay, looking for $1000.

This kit never came with them, as in they didn't even sell them when I bought them. Also those are square lights, these are round so not sure if they make them for the round ones? I honestly am not sure. At first I thought they looked weird because they stick out about an inch but after seeing how hot they get I don't think I'd want that airflow cut off.

Chris,

Can you post a link to the Leer 100XQ?

Are you interested in the cap? I have had a lot of tire kickers but no cash in hand yet.

I will probably pass for now.  Looks like a great deal but until I get it painted to match my truck I'll have a little more invested than what I need (only plan to use it part time).  Good luck with the sale though!

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
