I did the high 4 mod with 35w 4500's and I enjoy them. It takes a while for the highs to heat up fully. I would not go any higher than 4500 either.

Same setup with mine, takes the light about 10 secs to reach full brightness, much better visibility now at night!

2. I like the second set better also, but really those are the coolest looking LEDs ive seen thus far.

3. No SS cover, If you do a cover, A DENALI cover would be awesome, Actually if i had your truck i would make the front end look like this , only with a cowl hood.



This is 03sierraslt 's truck, Perfect front end IMO.
Ya i thought about the Denali conversion but i like my chrome. The denali is clean but i will just stick to the 03-07 sierra frontend.

I would go with the second set of headlights and markers, and powdercoat the grille insert black like you were saying. Definitely go with the cowl hood too. Trucks gonna look sweet either way, I've always been a fan of your truck

Corey, I don't like the look of any of those aftermarket lenses. To me, they always look cheap. Add to that, moisture always seems to creep into them(at least the ones I've seen first hand, up close), and it's a big fat no IMHO.

I think the factory front end on the GMC is already one of the best looking trucks out there, which makes it hard to improve on. About the only way to make it look better would be the Denali front end, with either a cowl hood, or the Cervini's WS6 style hood.

Don't even get me started on LED's......

Something you don't always see is having the bumper slots filled or opening it into one big slot. I want to do the latter eventually and have the bumper re-chromed. Maybe fill in the fog light area. Just clean up the look a bit.
