What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

And GM went from a simple design on the NBS that require no tools and take 2 minutes to remove to these.

And whoever designed this was laughing their ass off.....

They are hateful engineers....thats all I have to say about that. All that work ( took 2 and half hours ) to remove both headlights, put in my switchbacks, resistors and LED headlights that were supposed to fit, only to have them hit the radiator support when put back...damn it. I know I can massage the supports but I will wait til I get a retrofit done before I start to cut and bash. But i couldnt settle with how the lights were forced back into place and they seemed to have some floating glare that I didnt like and i ended up removing them last night.

there is a easier way, I assume you took the bumper cover off? you don't have to

 

[Geoffsfas10]

No i left the bumper cover on which made it WAY more difficult...if the cover was off the headlights would just slide straight out. Im just going to leave it all alone for a while now

That sucks, takes me about 10 mins to change out the headlights in my 2007 Yukon.

yeah...was all of 5 minutes to do both headlights in my 06...oh well though.

My bun warmers and coolers stopped working. I already had replaced the connector and pins at the seat module last spring. So I was like WTF!! I
Did some digging and found a new burnt connector and a BARE ******* wire!! Also found the pins are sloppy in the connector. What clown at GM designed the electrical system for these GMT900's?! At least it didn't catch fire or totally destroy this connector, but think I'm going to make my own plug for the high voltage lines.

I would just bypass that connector period like you said, weak point in the system

they should have done like most designers do and made the power connectors more robust.

The connectors are so cheap, when I was pulling it apart today I can't believe how cheap the plastic is. It feels like it is getting brittle too.
