I got those headlights, but different bumper lights, just check my threads... only problems I ran into with it is that the fasteners for the bulbs are a little cheesy because they're all the same size holes and they're close to the screws, so the bulbs are a little bit hard to put in... I've had mine since Last July, and last week the part that holds the headlight to the housing broke because I slammed the hood a little too hard, but fixed it with some epoxy and its solid again..

yes and yes. IMO

Keep the lights you have now. Powder coat the billet insert. And no SS cover, they look shitty on GMCs.

I say go with the second set of ligts. 5000K or 6000k Hids, black out that grill, Cowl hood, and if you really want to replace the bumper I say go with a Denali style one

I had 55w 5000K HID's in my truck for a while with the 4hi mod... got tickets for them LOL. but there wasnt anything that could beat it riding around in the hunting club at night.

Yes to the cowl hood for sure too.

one day, some day, if I do anything with it, maybe... I'd like to see a Denali swap on my 01 GMC. The subtle differences are sexy as hell IMO

Ya i decided on the second set of lights, cowl hood and regular gmc front. It will be a few month but in the meantime i gotta freshen up my painting skills. It has been about 5 years since i shot real car paint and i need to get a better water seperator for my compressor. Not to mention read up on the latest paint info.

Should look good. One thing about a Denali is how low the front hangs. Matches the suv bodykit/running boards. But it might look weird or get crunched on a lowered truck with no running boards

Ya i have issues hitting the front know i would be really screwed if it was lower. Plus the denali front end is really expensive. The cover is 200ish the inner bumper is 200-300ish. Then you gotta buy lights and a grill. Toooooo rich for my blood
