I am still around - just been a long time for an update.
A bit of an update on the truck - after finishing up the suspension project and getting everything fixed up - I wanted to replace the front headlights.
I had polished them up earlier this year - but they yellowed and started to look like crap again.
So I ordered a set of Denali headlights, as well as new turn signal housings. I also ordered a set of DDM Tuning HID's to throw in as well.
The lights all snapped right into place - the DDM kit required some wire removal from the kit - otherwise those where plug and play as well.
Install took about 2 hours - but not too bad. I still need to adjust the headlights - I plan on doing that tonight.
Now for teh pics:
Also - I took apart my drivers side mirror because it was flopping around on the highway - and was driving me nuts. Come to find out that someone had broken the original glass and replaced it with the wrong glass/element! My truck has the DL3 - heated/auto dimming/power fold in option - and the glass that was in it wasn't heated or auto dimming.
So after pricing out the correct replacement glass - it was going to be cheaper to get an entire replacement used mirror. So I found an Escalade mirror with the bottom light on it cheaper then a DL3 Sierra/Silverado mirror. I found another lighted DL3 mirror for the passenger side and ordered that as well.
The drivers side color didnt match my truck, and the passenger side was the black textured plastic - so I was going to have to do some painting.
So I picked up some Duplicolor perfect match rattle can primer, base coat, and clear coat and got to work.
The pre-painted mirror was easy to wet sand and prep - the black plastic cap I ended up sanding with 220, 320, 400, then 600 to get it smooth enough for primer.
I have finished painting both mirror caps - I am waiting for the clear coat to harden up. I am going to wet sand it and buff it before I install them.
I have already installed the mirrors themselves - and confirm everything is working correctly.
Here are my pics with the finished clear coat - I will get installed pics after I wet sand and buff everything next week.
