Not to long ago I posted about installing some aftermarket tail lights. Well I finally got around to installing my headlights+signal/daytime driving lights. I got these from Carid and these are spyder lights (at least that is what they told me. I will explain as we go along.)
These are the units here: https://www.carid.com/spyder/black-...umper-lights-mpn-hd-jh-csil99-led-set-bk.html
A few things to note about these lights. I was assured by a carid rep that these are spyder lights. I contacted them because these lights showed up in a plain brown box with no Spyder logos, instructions (though you really don't need them but still...) or anything stating that they were from Spyder. Only the name "Onyx" as the shipper. I wanted to be sure that these were from Spyder before I boxed it up and shipped it back to them.
I was informed by the "rep" that "Onyx" is a partner of Spyder which I was not aware. I'm telling you this because if you order these, they may show up at your doorstep like mines and just like my taillights. In a brown unassuming box with "made in China" on it.
Also note (and this info if for those who don't have these) that if you do opt for these lights you will have to reroute the connector for the corner marker lights to the middle in-between the two main bulbs as that is where the connection for the new corner marker lights is located. Trust me it's not difficult at all and should take a minute or two.
Also keep your original lights (or at least the mounting bracket for the lights) the brackets for the new lights don't seem as rigid as the old ones. I was contemplating removing the old brackets and placing them on the new lights but I will see down the road...
Anyway here are the lights on my Tahoe. I will trying to get some shots of it running later.
