Thank you it’s hard to remember everything I did to it the past 4 years and wish I would have had more detailed pics of certain things but i feel like I have had a fair amount of pics and info on what’s been done to it lol. Almost completely current too!

Mid October my girl surprised me with a early Christmas present by connecting with Schaller photography and scheduling a photo shoot of the Tahoe in November. I’m glad she gave me a heads up cause It needs a deep clean and gonna try to get it sitting lower for the pictures. Also ordered new corner lights since mine were starting to fog and the driver side was glued back together from the deer accident.
Since I still have a little offset my tires hit up on the inner fender/firewall so a little persuasion With a BFH fixed that. The front keys are almost bottomed out now though I need to get lowering keys so I can keep it at this height but have it be a touch stiffer. Ended up getting about another inch of drop all around.

11/8/19. Got a hell of a deal on DC new convertible 6.5’s so I posted the focals for about a 1/3 of what I paid for them. Luckily they sold quickly. New speakers came in 3 days before the shoot. Perfect

Those door pods need to be re wrapped eventually they suede is starting to fade and turn purple. Oh well no time to get it done before pictures Saturday.

11/8/19 Next week is the photo shoot. Corner lights I ordered got cancelled by the company because they don’t have them in stock and can’t find them apparently. Didn’t thing all clear corners would be so hard to find now ugh. After seeing @05Single led look corners he got I ordered a set but I’m not gonna black them out like his. Plan to leave them all chrome just swap over my clear lenses and pull the amber reflector. 11/16 is when we do the photo shoot though so hoping they show up in time.

11/15/19 they showed up. I baked them and pulled the amber reflector out but after putting them in I was not happy with the uneven output because the housing isn’t very reflective. So left my old corners on hoping they don’t fog during the shoot. It’s hard to tell in the picture but it almost looks like I have bulbs out just really uneven.

11/16/19 we met Luke in Portland around 1130 and left around 5. Found a few different locations for a bunch of shots. Couldn’t wait for the pictures to come back he showed me a few on his camera and they turned out awesome. Here is a sneak peak of one

11/23/19 still waiting on the pictures to get back from the shoot. He told me there will 110 of them but I’ll try to just post like 20 on here when they come in. Now that I have time to mess with those corner lights I want to make them have more even output. Talking to @05Single about it and I’ll give him credit he mentioned using foil tape on the housings behind the grid. Went down to Home Depot and got some foil tape and butyl to seal them up. Taped one and tested it out

definitely helped out a lot. Light is way more even. Baked the old ones to get the clear lenses and got everything swapped! Really liking the look of these

For reference here’s a pic of mine, you can see some unevenness which didn’t bother me till @Thatsquishykid717 noticed it lol . But they’re all sealed up and I don’t wanna open them back up again, maybe later.

Where can I get some of these lower housings?

Where can I get some of these lower housings?

There are apc “led look” corner lights. Google them and they should pop up. I think @05Single and myself got them on eBay

11/24/19 Alright so I got 110 photos back. They turned out so good I just want to share them all but I’m gonna pick my favorites and post them. Probably will be like 40 though hahaha here they are! I did not know that he was doing some of these they way he did and holy shit they are awesome.
