Well I ordered the spyder and hopefully they'll deliver today after the long journey from Cali to the coast of SC. Anyone had issues with water intrusion or are these sealed up pretty well?
The lights arrived! They are stamped "SONAR" made in Taiwan but sold with the impression they are Spyder Auto... probably all the same. Will try to get some install comparison shots posted tomorrow.

Install Sonar LED 00-06 Yukon XL first impressions
First impressions: they look good installed and are bright. I was concerned the might look 'ricey' - is that the term? Where as the factory lights glowed, these throw some light!
Fit/finish: they don't seem to fit as snuggly as factory tails .. the gaps between body and tails are visibly bigger. Has anyone else noticed this? I will mess with that again later but seems I shouldn't see through the gaps on the side.
Notes on install:
you'll need to keep clips from factory tails and put on your new Sonars.. Not sure why those couldn't be included with new lights but oh well. Next, the passenger side harness is in my Yukon XL is not long enough to accommodate the extra distance required for plugging in the new light (about two inches too short). Driver side was fine. So I'll be doing some splicing to extend connector sockets for turn and brake lights.
Brightness: Photo shows factory tail on driver side, new light on passenger side (not properly wired yet) for side by side comparison of 'running light'. The camera exposed for the street light, so this gives you a better idea of the comparison between the red tail lights.

Ran into everything you talked about, including the clips and the gap. Clips were no trouble, tossed the old tails anyway. With the gap, I just centered it. Black truck, shaded area where gap is.. wasn't too worried. Not noticeable unless you're kneeling by it. Nor will it cause a water problem or anything.

I got barn doors, and with a little bit of modding the taillight, it fits.

Thanks very much Lee.
My '06 was charcoal grey, had an '07 Burb which was blue for a little while. Sold both and have no more car payments, the '04 Yuk is paid off and running strong.
