Had to order new bumper lights. The drivers side DRL bulb melted the back of the housing where the socket fits in and then fried the bulb. They got del Veered today which was cool wasn't expecting them for a few more days. Swapped them out real quick. Spec'D black bumper lights and they came with the bulbs I needed too which was great. Always something to do! lol. New hood got delivered as well today so that's gonna go get painted shortly.

@Tonyrodz specD makes all kinds of stuff, i dont think its quality is too bad, my NNBS headlights are specD. & @Bigbeardenali1992 just a random thought but imo itd look sweet if you colormatched your GMC emblem on the grille.

@kwOH , Ive been thinking about color matching my logo since the thought of color matching my whole grille surround. I am gonna a pick up some paint from the place Fosscore recommended. So I think I will do the surround and logo at the same time. @05Single , I'll get you a pic light up.

Thx @kwOH.
@Red Rocket has done the color matching to his grill, which looks great. I think he might've had some issues tho with the paint sticking to the plastic chrome, I don't remember exactly. Hopefully he'll chime in.

No the set that came with my halo housings were garbage and the last set I bought were garbage. These ones are spec'D and hoping they are better.

I've got a set of Spec D headlights on my Silverado there pretty good quality had them for a year the light adjustment isn't as good as the factory ones I've got a set of there LED tails on the same truck great quality too

I had a body shop do it. They sanded the shit out of it and used a special primer. So far only a couple tiny chips in the black (center) part that I'll use fingernail paint to touch up. Probably rock chips. He said the sanding was a PIA, glad he is a friend.

Hey guys question not related to lights. Lol. I need to replace my front sticks and I have auto ride, what's the best way to replace them?! Arnott looks like a good way to got but I'd rather stick with stock. Whats the best auto ride replacement shocks and part numbers would be great!

I'm guessing it's front shocks not sticks? Go to Rock Auto for part numbers. I see AC Delco are around $315 each and Monroe's are about $250 each. Ouch. Once again I see why I went with Arnott. Edit: Autoride RPO is Z55 so those are the ones you need.

@Red Rocket , yup Z55 is correct. Lol. Gm parts direct wants like $360 a piece for each OEM air/electronic dampening shock. So I think replacing them with passive air shocks with resistors wired in to avoid the service suspension message is the way to go. Simply because I'd like to stick with air shocks. I've heard good things about arnott but don't really wanna go that route because then I have gas shocks in front and air in the back and that doesn't make sense to me really. Do you remember which heavy duty resistors you used with your arnott shocks to keep from getting the message? If so do you have a part number and where you got them from? @kwOH , no drops for me! Lol I bought a big suv for the factor of ground clearance for towing and driving in snow. If I wanted something low I would have gone with a car. Lol
