The design looks 95+% the same, but the new one looks good, and the NBS looks off. Still not sure if its the bug shield doing it.



These ones look a little better.

For what you are doing on all this, unless you somehow come into most of these parts for cheap/free I just don't see it. The 2001-2002 HD hood is still the best looking one I've seen, and you can do a similar 1 piece headlights with a different grill if that's what you like.



Jesus those are fugly

Glad someone else finally chimes in agreeing. Ugh

Lol, sorry to leave you solo, I was trying to have an imagination about it without those open grills.

*if* the goal is to ultimately make it look more like the new Tahoe, those one piece headlights might work. But I lack photoshop skills to render it.

The more I look at it though, the more it’s all kinda growing on me. I’m exclusively looking at the HD grill and bumper, and hood, because the only way I like those lights is with the larger hood on top.

I'm not a fan of those aftermarket lights so much, but the HD hood is the key to the look imo.

I had these on my 05 silverado for a bit. Didnt look bad. Caught tons of shit on GMfs forum but it was expected lol. Took them off to go back to stock only cause I didnt like how the lens bulges out so far. Imo the housing design is clean looking. But big headlights belong on big SUVs. If I got in a wreck and needed to replace the whole front clip i would opt for a 03+ hd front with these heads again.received_491456584676326.jpeg FB_IMG_1543245881758.jpg FB_IMG_1543245869543.jpg FB_IMG_1543245865903.jpg

Gah, I don’t know why, but I just dig the way that looks. Color matched grill in white always looks good. Those one piece headlights would be exactly what I wanted if the leds ran horizontal even with the center of the grill.

And yeah 01-02hd does look good, but I’m having a lot more trouble finding those parts, and there are a ton of 05-06 hd Silverados out there in white.
