Not that leds suck , just that if youre gonna upgrade anyway hids are still superior. Leds are obviously still brighter than halogen but you will have dark spots, sometimes not bad, sometimes it's actually pretty dangerous....but it's usually fine and safe.
Only bulbs that suck would be the coated halogen bulbs from china, those are trash and super dangerous.

I have spyder headlights on my 2006 Denali, and I went with LED, instead of HID for upgraded bulbs. I wanted plug and play, and not super expensive. Mine are excellent. I don’t have any issues, they’re bright as crap, and nobody flashes their high beams at me when lows are on. Are HIDs awesome, yes! But LEDs work great and are a viable option.

I dipped mine awhile ago. So much better

the thing I don't like about the Chevy ones is the badges are all one thing, so you can't get the cutout, individual letter effect that I have

my dad plasti-dipped his emblems on the Suburban and it drives me crazy lol

I want to remove them so badly but he won't let me

It saddens me that you have so many pics of the tahoe on a flat bed, like it's normal in the every day life of Tony :(

for real, what kind of issues do you have where a Tahoe would ever be on a trailer in the first place? :O

I actually never even considered HIDs.

on the Grand Prix forums everyone suggested LEDs and they were easy and cheap, so I went that route

You can dip the tahoe and suburban badges then use paint markers to create a different look. Kinda how I did my hoe badge.

Otherwise i agree it just looks like a blob of black on the side of the door/liftgate, with no distinction of what it us.

I’ve seen a couple NBS trucks with 2007^ badges which are individual letters! Have a client with a 99 NBS style silvy, and she did a few new things to it, and one was NNBS silvy badge letters, in gloss black, on a white truck and looks really good! Super clean! You could always go that route

We put nnbs letters on my cousins 06 silvy. Came out nice! (His rear bumper is black now)received_1193921863985800.jpeg

I have some tahoe ones but decided not to use them. But black nnbs letters would look good on tonys

I have nnbs GM badges on my doors but that's it20181002_232906.jpg

I'd take the badges off, but they were taped off at one time, along with the side mouldings, and painted around. So you'd see paints lines and whatever else. I hate chrome or anything chrome like, so to me it just looks better as a black blob lol.

I keep getting transmission and trans cooling line issues. Hopefully those have been solved.
