Default New Taillights and Upgraded Mirrors

When I bought this truck it had these "Carbon Fiber" Taillights on it and the owner did not have the OEM taillights. I have always thought the OEM taillights looked much better on this Color truck and I was able to score a set in very good condition from Craigslist.

Carbon Fiber Taillights


OEM Tailights


I also added a set of Blinker Mirrors as well. They were in excellent condition, straight plug and play and I found them on craigslist as well.



Next Up on the List are a HID Conversion and OEM FogLights.

I believe that they are plug and play on the 03up models, however somebody correct me if I am wrong. The one thing they do not do is "Fold" so f you want them to fold you will need to get a different switch panel.

Thanks for the feedback fellas.

nice mods. x2 much better just debadge and level the rear would look clean also.

One of my favorite oem wheels look clean.

Usually all signal side mirros should fold automatically if you have them connect and have switch panel on the side.

Thanks for the feedback!

I like the Denali wheel as well, however I just picked up a set of 20" NNBS wheels that I will be putting on very soon.

Mine do not fold. I did read a thread some time ago that mentioned that for these to fold you would need the switch panel from a vehicle that had these equipped from the factory.

Actually I'm pretty sure you have to go to the dealer and have them flash that onto your bcm for the power fold....
