UPDATE:

Okay, so I pulled both lights. Swapped the grey resistor boxes. Left side light STILL hyperflashes.

Then I swapped the boxes back to the way they were, but this time swapped the lights themselves. No Hyperflashing on the light.

Unit itself is indeed defective, nothing to do with the resistors.

Looks like I got Serge's old set he returned the second time.

Here is a picture of them for the 18 hours they were on there.

Right now truck is back to stock, and a claim is filed.

Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.

Yes. X2.

Such a bummer.

The stock lights in all their boring glory.... are IMO better built.

The plastic is sturdier and feels generally stronger. Again IMO.

They are made in Mexico by Hella.

Looks really clean with those lights. This might be the picture that makes me get them, lol. Being I have the same graystone metallic color paint. IMO it does go well.

On another note, has anyone seen a graystone mettallic with the 22" gray comp TBSS replicas?? Pics?? Was just wondering how the gray color match up... Thanks.

Hey Lucky, Here is my Photoshop. It is EXPERTLY done and no one will be able to even tell it is PhotoShop'd.

I have had the SAME exact thought as you before. The only problem is (as others here have noted as well) is that the greys do not match. VERY Seldom you see anything "greyed out", because everything (wheels) would have to be painted the stock color to match properly.

The TBSS are competion Grey. Our trucks are Greystone "Metallic".

The Metallic part will throw it off from the get go.

Though this PS picture looks good IMO.

I definitely saw a thread on here where someone posted pics of their graystone metallic Hoe on comp grey TBSS's. After seeing those pics I'm not totally sold. Maybe polished TBSS's wold work a bit better? Tried looking up the thread for you but no dice.

Lee... interested in picking up some freelance PS work?

Hey J.T.

I think you mean this one?

This is not 16U Greystone. It is a Texas Edition color, but kinda grey.

But you guys can see the mismatch in the paint to the wheels.

I have A LOT of pictures saved. You guys better be careful.
