I just bought these from Amazon. Not pods, but still nice and bright.

Mine were missing when I bought my Yukon XL, so I ordered some 7" bars like @Tonyrodz , but I got double row. Mine fit perfectly inside the openings, I just made some 2" brackets to set them back far enough in.

As an "extra measure of safety", I also ordered the amber clip-on plexi covers. This way, if I get stuck out on a horrible Central NY winter evening, I can clip the amber covers on to diminish the effects of the lake-effect snow while driving. Amber makes it soooo much easier to see the shoulder of the road.


And for those of you who prefer to be "color coordinated" (@05Single ), they come in clear, black, amber, red, green and BLUE.

it's the cheap plastic housing flexing. And I'm switching from the hid's to 3000k led bulbs. And I prefer the look of the factory fogs

I like these. The all black would look good imo.

My drivers side is a bit shakey and it's a factory light. I can't wait to change them out. But not sure what Im gonna replace them with, not factory again. I even stretched the spring to add tension , was a band-aid fix and it lasted for awhile then the shakes came back :confused:

I had yellow coated halogens and neon yellow homemade covers. Looked pretty good.

The spring. Just untighten the adjustment tab till it screws all the way out. Pull the spring to crate more tension.

I was looking at them yesterday and it's not the spring part that moves it's actually the main bracket that mounts them to the bumper. I guess it's just cheap plastic.

Yea all together it's just a very bad design by gm. That's why I'm looking to go a completely different route with mine. But looking how to make it look factory as much as possible.

It looks like that yellow only shoots about 2ft in front of the truck. More for looks then actually performance?
