You can transfer your oem brackets over. Also--if you don't want them to fog or leak--run a thin bead of silicone around the inner edge of the lenses and put some dialectic grease on the bulb gaskets. Aftermarket lenses ALWAYS fog.
My experience that higher quality brands almost never fog tbh


The headlights on these always have big gaps. Adjust them for level following some aiming instructions you can find online and it the gaps still look uneven you probably don’t have the pins installed correct like Wes said. Once you get them adjusted and the pins are in right, you can make the gaps look better by going to Home Depot and buying some black rubber self- adhesive weatherstrip, remove the lights and apply it around the perimeters. Mark the outside edge of where you want the weatherstrip to sit at by using a sharpie on the headlights, marking the places where the fender and grill meet the headlight. Pull the headlights and apply the foam and remove the sharpie marks with alcohol. This is what I used. I don’t have the part number.

Yep. Did you see the front bumper mod I did to decrease the gaps around it? Not sure about the Tahoes but the Denali front bumper gap is huge.
