Unfortunately I’m the move last week poor Denali suffered a bit of a mishap. I was trying to get my mattress and box spring moved on my own and they were too wide to fit in the back of my Denali. I was taking the box spring away and the plastic corner piece on the box spring clipped my drivers side tail light and took a chunk out of the plastic lense. I was so mad when it happened... mad at myself for not being more careful... mad that my box spring wouldn’t fit so I could just get it moved and not have to think about it... I was just mad... lol
I had to just calm myself down and “oh well it’s not a major crisis.....”

Fortunately it didn’t affect the seal so no water got in to make the tail light stop working.

Ordered new tails on amazon. Went with a slightly different setup this time. Still the same C shaped LED tube, but the tube on the new set has a red tint instead of a white cover with red LED. IT LOOKS REALLY COOL! Plus the housing is gloss black instead of flat black, so they look REALLY dark! And the border around the edge of the lenses is gloss black instead of clear. Really cool contrast against my silver paint!

I made the swap in the back lot of the mechanics after I had finished washing cars, while I was waiting for the boss to get back from an errand pay me lol.
CG just put a new product, a ceramic infused detailer spray, called Hydro speed. To go in line with their hydro line up, I ordered a bottle. Got delivered yesterday same time as the tail lights. Lol. Hit the new light lenses with a bit of that keep them protected until I can give my truck a fresh ceramic coat I. A couple weeks when I have use of the garage at the ranch.

And then it has an extra C shaped set of individual LEDs, that runs parallel to the tube, that are the brake lights that come in when I hit the pedal, that’s different than my previous tails:

And then the two center stacks of LEDs are turn signals. needless to say I really like the look of the new tails!

Does the crack show when the hatch is closed?

Me no like cracked tail. But me like the news tail. I like this new style best. I almost got the same style but with smoked red lenses. But instead I got another style that nobody on here has:secret:. I’ll post them up later
