Love mine, did them a year ago. Waiting for the rears to wear out so I can them on the back as well.



The bow tie lights was that a mod? Did you have to custom mount those?
those are a oem option for the 2019-2021, but with a slight modification they fit and work on the 2015-2018
they "might" also work on 2000-2014 with more modification, such as making a hole in the puddle light housing and grinding them down a bit the room inside the mirror housing is less than the 2015+ so it might hit the back of the mirror.

shops around here won’t install any ‘aftermarket parts’. Bologna.
I don't see why not, doesn't void the warranty unless it had a visible defect that caused something to fail and fitment is identical it just adds 2 quarts extra capacity
if it was something that required modification they wouldn't do it.

This is a bit more work than I anticipated, got the crossovers installed and 6 1/2 driver's, going to put the tweeters up by the mirror triangle once I figured out how one side should go the other side was easy, mounted the crossovers inside the door had to drill holes and more holes to zip tie the wires so they won't get caught in the door stopper, funny the stock bose amp doesn't even put out enough power to fire the tweeters thought maybe something was wrong but hooked them up in the house and all is well just need to get the amps installed and the dash speakers, not really sure what I am doing with the sound proofing but whatever

The originals were 6x9 so I bought the metra adapter brackets for 6.5

lol, the 6x9's kinda suck, I like component speakers better, just needs powa!

I never knew they were putting 6x9s in the doors. I always thought that was an old school thing, and mainly for rear speakers. Probably just their way to get more sound, not necessarily better sound.
