Junkyard! Seriously. Just go there and tell them you need four corners lights from a Tahoe. They will be cheap and look good depending on what they have.

Yeah, looks 100x better, especially when you hit the turn signal or hazards.

From what it looks like you drill a hole to pass the wire thru, splice it into the existing corner marker, get a set of lowers and mount them up top.

I'll bring the write-up over from the forum we do not speak of lol

You almost had it...the lowers can't mount up, up top. Those are stock top reflectors.

I suck at write ups but here it goes, sorry for the pictures also they're all off my cell.

So a day after I installed my HIDs I noticed that they would light my top corner reflector a bit, so it struck me, why not just install a bulb in there like the bottom signal. Tossed some ideas around and decided that I would make the top housing like the bottom one. Once you take your grill off you'll know what I'm talking about.

So I first cut the "socket holder"s out of a pair of clear corners I had laying around. I'll end up gluing it to the back of the reflector later:

Once that was done I had to dremel out a small square from the grill, right behind the reflector for the "socket holder".

Here's another picture showing the square and the reflector marked for the hole I was about to drill.

.....and it's drilled

So once all that is done you can glue, silicone, JB Weld, bubble gum the "socket holder" and socket in place. You'll want to do this with them together so everything is centered.

Once the socket holder is on there nice and tight, twist the socket out and splice the wiring onto the bottom turn signals wiring.

Only problem arose after I was done with all this. Once I tried installing the reflectors back onto the grill I realized that the nuts would hit the "socket holder" and would obviously not thread all the way down. This was easily fixed by grinding down the edges on the nuts.
