Yeah that was the very first thing I did after buying my NBS Yukon. Both headlights were yellowed, and one even had a cracked mount..That’s the first thing besides dents I notice when I look at a vehicle. It’s amazing the number of rigs with terrible looking hazy headlights I see. Those look way better on both those trucks.
Lol. For sure..! Most people are terrible fxcking drivers..! Not even paying attention. Here’s me looking everywhere for any possible threat… leaving extra room in front of me, in case some clown lets their foot off the brake and I need the room to creep up, etc… trying to prepare for every possibility…. Morons..!

Well the original pads I bought were ordered for cop brakes. Didn’t fit and the only semi metallic set the store had were Bosch. I must say they bite really good but holy shit do they smell bad. I ordered some dynamic friction pads from rock to do a swap soon.
didn't fit? as in pad too thick?

Too tall. Wouldn’t fit in the bracket. Ones I have are with the holes in the side tabs
not picturing what you mean, what part number were the pads? you must have ordered for a nbs or something... there are no police specific calipers, there are calipers made for heavy duty use but the only difference are the rubber seals, the oem caliper design is the same across the board from all 1500 nnbs including 1500 pickups and avalanche, 2wd, 4wd, awd makes no difference

First I didn’t order them. The person behind the counter did. They ordered cop brakes. I don’t have cop brakes.

My mind is blown. For the last 14 years, I’ve been positive that my Tahoe is arctic white... I’ll be ordering custom painted headlights soon, so I was looking up the codes. Arctic white is WA-9567. Just as a sanity check, I checked my glove box... to find U-8624, which is apparently olympic white or summit white. What the heck
But is there really any difference? The exact same color will have different names between being on a Chevrolet or on a GMC or Cadillac, Buick, SAAB, etc. I wanna say they even change the name between year models of the same brand.
there are no "cop brakes" there are police rated pads i.e. semi-metallic and heavy duty caliper seals i.e. police rated caliper (no design difference from any other caliper other than the rubber seal material), the pad mounts are the same dimensional design, the only difference would be thickness of pad material-vs-thickness of rotor.
I have ran the "cop brakes" i.e. police rated pads on non police rated calipers, they fit and they work, that being said they lasted me about a year and were wore out.
my point is the person that gave you the pads had to have given you the wrong ones, maybe they were for a caprice or something
here is a photo of 4 different brand pads, some are police and some are not and some are noted as "both" there is no dimensional difference other than inside pad and outside pad
If you still have the receipt for the pads that didn't fit, would you post up the mfr. and part number, if you're so inclined? We're just curious about it.

Doing it on wet pavement won't be as ******* driveline components, so I'd say you're a semi-WOTer

sorry if I am coming across as a d*ick, don't mean to be just baffled if there were pads that were different that would be news to me and I would have thought I would have found out a long time ago.
GM does a lot of shady stuff with there part numbers and what they will swear up and down it fits and does not fit and then you come to find it does fit and it does work, it's all about money

How much too tall? Now that you mention it, I think I had to shave some material off the backing plate to get mine to snap in. It looked more like a manufacturing defect to me, like they didn't quite account for the kerf when the backing plates were cut out. Was a quick fix with a file. I'm pretty sure that was on my Tahoe and not another car I was working on.

Those pads you shown are the ones that don’t fit. The hit the bracket. Too tall.
No worries man I have the right pads but those weren’t it.
Rock auto has my pads listed as for 285/286 caliper casting or 3something. They are the 285/286. Maybe it was normalized I’m 2010 or something but mine is an 08 and they are different and to top it off my calipers don’t even match those castings at all. The pads I removed have the holes in the tabs.
Also don’t have the part number anymore when I returned them.

No like the plate it’s mounted to is much larger. Not from side to side or the tabs but the pad area is much taller
