    I've patiently waited 20years for some headlights for my NBS 2000 Tahoe.. Finally lol..These are by far the best you can get. I got the clear corner version..icing on the cake. great output, look great and even the daytime running lights are great. I believe these are better made than factory. Absolutely tight fit. Just have to be patient with the install and getting the polarity of the lights correct. Glad I never bulb swapped or went HID..Hopefully the last time messing with the headlights for a long time. Thanks for the review...

      @sean.g4516 no issues. Make sure you have anything forcing them down. A lot of wires tucked in there and ez to do. Use a wall to see the cutoff line. The lights are as bright as my wife's Tesla with similar cutoff lines so ez to see on a wall.

    Great review man, thank you. I'm on my second pair of "neat looking" garbage from Amazon. For $110, I got a set of headlight and turn lenses with a messed up clock position of the low beam bulb. The first set, the bulb came out and melted its way down the back of the plastic assembly. The second set I was able to "persuade" the bulb to fit in the proper position, but the heat is melting the "floor" of the headlight. So any day now, I'll be buying something else. Gxengo might be selling their first set of headlights from your video to me. haha
    Rock on man, thanks again for the video.

      Thanks for watching. My reviews are always something different 😂 definitely not the normal "hey buy this, link in the description "😂... Anyway, when I was installing them I had thought about installing weather pack connectors on the parking/turn lights and now wish I just did that. The parking light on the passenger side (one I had an issue with) is working intermittently because of a loose connection and I can guarantee you its the dang light socket, GM always had an issue with them... Easy fix regardless... Overall the lights are really good and definitely SUPER BRIGHT, there is no going back...😂😂 Along with the hood being installed the truck looks pretty sharp. Thanks again for watching and commenting and if you wind up purchasing a set, thanks in advance..👍👍 #ChallengeTheBuild

    Thanks for responding bud. My next question is how did you get just the daytime running lights on without the low beam bulbs coming on in the top. I had them working with my light switch but then the drl’s would act as my blinker as well and the orange part would be useless. I love the design of the drl’s on by themselves.
    Thanks again.

    Thanks for the informative video. Love the look of the lights and am considering them for my 2004 Chevy Tahoe. they only thing that is unclear to me is if LED lights can be replaced individually if one goes out? looks like a closed housing assembly so just want to make sure they can be repaired if needed.

    • @ChallengeTheBuild
      @ChallengeTheBuild  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I do not believe they can be repaired easily if they go out. I can't remember but I want to say they are rated for 50,000 hours (yes I just checked rated at 50,000 hours)? I never really looked into whether or not they could be repaired... Im sure they could be repaired but as for how and what's needed to do the job I am unsure. I appreciate the feedback and watch. Good luck in making your decision. 👍

    UPDATE! finally figured out the adjustment, the BOTTOM adjustment screw is for the vertical/up down movement and the top is for horizontal, left to right. It pushes the headlight outwards or inward near your grill where you will probably see a big gap at first install. Turning to the left nearly all the way out is where you wanna be with the horizontal adjustment. You'll see that it's even with the top front of your grill. Then its simple to just play with the bottom vertical screw til you're at the height you need.

These were a bugger for me and as I continue to get comments on this video it seems they can be a little problematic. Still worth it in my opinion because they are the best looking lights for this style Chevy. (In my opinion) Thanks for watching and commenting.

      Turn your ignition key on (DON'T START IT) put truck in reverse or drive (Might want to use E-brake for safety 🤷‍♂️) and if its bright enough outside the DRLs should come on. You may have to fool the light sensor on the dashboard with a flash light depending on how bright of an area you are working in. Good luck 👍

      I didn't have issues with turn/hazard lights, my issue was with daytime running lights. Best suggestion I have is check all connections, fuses and relays. After having them installed for a while one of my turn signal connections came loose. If I was to do it again I would just hard wire all my connections using weather pack connectors rather then the plug and play connectors provided. Good luck 👍

    • @ChallengeTheBuild
      @ChallengeTheBuild  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      In order for you to test the DRLs you need to put a light over the photo sensor that is in the center of your dash board to trick the sensor (if it's dark outside) then turn the key on (engine not running), put emergency brake on for safety and then put the car/truck into drive in order to complete the DRLs circuit. The daytime running lights only come on when the vehicle is in reverse or drive, the DRLs will not come on when the vehicle is in park. Hope this helps...

    • @Alex68dash
      @Alex68dash 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's your ambient light sensor on your dash that has gone bad. If it goes bad you headlights will come on every time the key is inserted.
      The DRLs will only come on whenever you have you vehicle in gear. If you engage your parking brake for 99-02 models. Your DRLs will not come on if your ambient light sensor on you dash is good. If the sensor is bad. Your DRLs will never turn on
