2011 Tahoe. Just removed and replaced both headlight assemblies. Got them on Amazon, brand Amerilite, for $123 for the pair. They came with wires and halogen bulbs and plugs installed. All you have to do is undo 3 bolts on the assemblies and to get to one you have to take out 2 fender well bolts and 3 nylon push button clips to get old ones out and have enough room to wiggle it out and wiggle the new ones in. Took one hour from start to finish. We'll worth it, huge appearance and brightness upgrades.

I need to do this again. My aftermarket set is 5 years old, and looks terrible.

Wow, I was going to say why don't you just do a headlight restoration kit on them (I've had really good luck with the Cerakote kit, and my dad also with the 3M kit). But then I saw the price you paid for new ones...if you factor in the cost of such a kit and your time, you probably saved money (and ended up with an even better end result). You could still probably clean up the old ones in your spare time and eBay those suckers!
