SW CT,
I've been eyeing those headlights for quite a while now...I like how the housings are mostly blacked out. The cut-off is kinda weird, but looks to be better than stock. As far as the halos and leds...I like the idea of the halos and would probably run them when parking lights and lows are on...can you wire the leds to be used as DRL's?? Truck will look good with the DJM kit.

You could wire them to be whatever you want. I installed the DJm drop yesterday and today. it looks really nice, but I hit an AC line when I was drilling to hold the fender liner back. That was an $800 mistake... FML

How did you black out your grill and bowties? And what offset are your wheels. By the way truck is coming along nicely.

The grill and front bowtie come out together. They were sanded down then primed with plastic primer and adhesion promoter. They were then sprayed with rustoleum satin black (for plastic). The back bowtie is two pieces, the gold peice over an all chrome lower piece. I seperated the two and just painted the chrome one the same way I painted the grill.

The wheels are boss 24x10's with +40mm offset.

I should have some pics of the whole tahoe with the drop installed this afternoon. Just have to wait for the alignment shop to get finished up...

Thanks

Zack

Here are the pics! Still need to paint the emblems black and put the color matched mirror caps on. I have some rubbing that I tried to fix (see post #24) so its going to the shop tomorrow for them to reform the liners...

Color is off on a few of them but you get the idea. :D

looks really good, Once those badges are blacked, and the mirror caps are on it will have a "complete" look to it.
What about removing the roof rack? You into that?

I've thought about it. What all is involved?

Been a while, sorry been crazy busy!

The lights are OK. With HIDs they have a funky pattern and really aren't that bright. The high beams are awesome though so we might just adjust those lower and run them full time.

That's said, they look awesome lol and that's all that really matters right hahaha

I did those same lights and HID's. I found the beam pattern looked like crap too. I posted pics on here and someone else mentioned using a spacer. What did you use for a spacer and how big? The other guy mentioned 5/8". I was worried about sealing off the bulb and spacer from moisture... Here's a pic with the lights in and a stock pic for the other guy wanting a close up. They do look like crap at night without modding...

I wish this forum would email users when someone else replies on a post so the users would go check lol. I really would like these lights to work. I'm just wondering what he did for spacers.
