What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[chip]

Absolutely!! Plus it will look more like stock which is what I'm after!

 

[Tahoewhat]

Started the signal mirror mod last night but changed my mind on the color midway through, so ordered the red LED strips last night instead of the white ones that I had!! White would have looked cool but I think I might have gotten in trouble for the color choice!! Oh well!!

Post pics or it didnt happen. And send me the white ones. Thats your fee for the amp. lol

I don't know man, the LED's were pretty spendy!!

Started to gut my interior so I can install an audio system..
Massive audio subs, components, and amps to power them. Pioneer avic D3 and a clarion eq to control and tune it.

I've found that drilling a small hole in the bottom of the housing fixes this problem quite nicely.

Chip, you haz pic sans stripes?

thats what i was thinking because the first time i had to seal them they were fogging up. now theyre sealed up to the point that they look like half full fish tanks. think i might put a separate nylon or rubber washer around the bulb. thats the only place i can figure the water is coming from

lol. No, no I do not......not yet anyway, but I'm workin' on it for you. I know how mcuh it means to you!

I stuggled with this same issue for longer than I care to remember. As soon as I said screw it and drilled that hole, it's been nothing but good times! (FYI: The hole has never adversely affected my HIDs either.)

 

[gdddup]

ok cool. what size you think 1/4" 1/8"? any certain spot?

 

[chip]

I did something like 1/8th, on the bottom of the housing, about a 1/2" behind the lens. Just look for the lowest point on the housing. That's what I would do anyway.

 

[gdddup]

cool thanks

 

[chip]

My pleasure.

I cleaned the inside of my kon, vacuumed, and the whole nine yards

NICE! I was just thinking yesterday (after the first heavy rain we got here on Tuesday), WTF, why are those lights all fogged up?

Guess the hole is the answer for the fix, THANKS VERY MUCH!

Do you live in the rain forest? I live in the rainy city and I haven't had problems like that. If anything, heavily seal the top and leave a wheep? hole in the bottom for moisture to drain out. Or get new housings.

 

[Scope75]

That sounds sexy.

Hope it turns out sexy too!!
All is going good on the install. Just need to run some more wires and wait on some parts that should've been here already. Man I hate not having everything needed!!

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Somehow water is able to get in, but not out. The hole fixes that issue.
