Question '99+ Sierra aftermarket projector headlamps

Found these at www.sporttruckdirect.com. I've been waiting for these for so long since I've never seen the Denali projectors cleared probably because they are a bitch to even try and take out. I didn't want to break my $300+ headlamps so I gave up, hence the cleared Sierra lamps on my truck now.
I've never even heard of this Matrix brand, but I've always been wary of these aftermarket companies that make clear corners, etc.
They already come with the clear reflector in them which looks awesome, but I don't like the blue : projector bulb. They go for $279.99
Who's gonna be the first to try em?

They actually look nice for aftermarket. It looks like it uses the same stamping for the reflector as the factory one. There was a write up on one of the forums showing how to clear the stock Sierra lights; would think it's the same for the Denali ones but I agree it's risky. There'd be a lot of pressure on you not to break them.

It says, "Chrome Blue Eye ProjectorS: $279.99
So I would imagine it's for the pair.
OEM Denali projectors are about $325 at dealer cost, so I don't know what the quality would be like on those aftermarket ones.

Those do look cool, i think the blue projector would look ok on a blue truck. I wonder if they are anywhere as good as an OEM denali light? I'll probably go the OEM route if i ever get some projectors

Y2KSierra, are those 20" Centerline Stingrays? How do you like them and what size tires are those? I'm thinking of getting a set of those for mine. Not sure how they would look on a 4x4 though.

Yes, they are the centerline stingray III's. My tires are hankook ventus 245/40/20 not something you'd wanna run on a Z71 for sure

You could run the 275/45/20 goodyears and have close to stock sidewall, or you can go a little bit bigger with some of their GTII tires.

I like mine a lot, they have a great high luster shine to them, and look to be quality. The insides are not polished, nor are they between the spokes, but other than that, they are top notch.

hope this helps you some!

Thanks, it does. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I know you can get some awesome deals on 20s from Centerline now.
