They look bad ass and $850 for a pair of headlights is a steal in my opinion. If they don't get moisture inside like the cheap ***** they sell elsewhere you've already won.
I agree, once you get past the sticker shock and break down the pricing of doing this yourself, it's a good deal. Already put it through couple high pressure car washes and hand washes, rainy days and temperature swings. So far so good but we will see long run. It was enough for the fog lights to condensate soooo hey time will tell

Question for OP. I bought these too, I'm looking at them and noticing it only has one plug for what I assume is the headlight, am I missing something? How does the DRL/ turn signals activate?
How many wires? It looks like 6-8 from their pictures so isn’t there a harness included as well as instructions?

I am seriously considering Alpha Nova's i just wish they blacked out the white drl like the morimoto XBs. TO bad morimoto dont make headlight for Tahoe's.

@63Blackseries I agree, my only complaint so far is that the headlights could use a little more blacking out

I can't wait to see a front / 2/3 type view of them lit up at night... Hinty-hint-hint! Hehe

Overall how do you guys like the quality of the headlights and output? I am coming from a 4 year old mini h1 6.0 retrofit on my Avalanche, it has a pretty wide beam and nice cutoff.
I just want to see if i am not downgrading my current output and would be nice to see a refreshed look.

Thanks for the update!
Whoa!!! Those look great! Do they project as brightly as they shine? They look good and the snowflakes just refresh it nicely. Kudos!

So I uploaded the pics with the full wrap around go rhino grille guard. I took pics from the top of the measurement of how far the lights stick out past the fender curve and spacing between the grille guard. There's plenty of clearance.
Now that I had them for about a month, I will say I dont have any regrets yet. No fogging to report, drove it through few days of heavy rain, had snow with big temp shifts, the lights still look crystal clear.
My only thing if I want to really nitpick is that the beam seems to be a LITTLE narrower but longer reach . I dont consider it a downgrade since I feel like I see better with these than I did with halogen lights.
