Yeah, but if chevy lights are like stock gmc lights, you'll have two blobs of light. El lightpattern no es bueno

I've been looking into them as well from what I've read most are straight hook up to battery so have to manually turn them on instead of computer controlled, can somebody chime in let me know just curious since these kits are pretty cheap

Srs? The striated lenses don't glare like reflector lights, but the pattern is garbage. the chevy housing being thinner and wider might help I guess.

I thought you just had to flip the stock connector upside down?
