I just inquired about he lights at my dealer and was told $900 installed. They mentioned they can install it right away and didn't mention any issues regarding them. I thought the price was a little steep also but they said it would take the entire day to install with the wiring.

Anyone get these installed by the dealer and are you happy? Is there some clear instructions anywhere that I can use to install them myself?

 

You can get them on ebay or gmparts direct for less than half of that. GM part # of new kit is 19170450. If you are mechanically handy (and not afraid to drill a few holes in your roof) they are pretty easy to install, takes about 3 hours. If that scares you, maybe better to have dealer do it, but you'll pay top dollar.

 

Thanks for the info! Found them and will most likely order them during the week

 

900.00??? All Day???


Find a different dealer... Sounds like you are getting ..

 

I thought those prices were outrageous...I'd already spent a ton of money on chrome..so I did both back & front marker lights myself. Lights and other supplies, including a few tools, for both back and front were under $200. Time is another story...took me almost 2 full days to do both and completely wore me out. Looks great though.

I work on boats some and have intermediate electrical knowledge and that is really all you need to do this. Plus...lose your fear of drilling holes in your Hummer. The dealer's going to do it anyway.

Best of luck to you...

 

You got any pic/details of your project that you can share?

 

Yep...just went outside and took these. The red lights (back) are from Wal-Mart..$8/each. The front lights w/ chrome trim are from Westmarine (they're marine trailer marker lights)...$15/each. Used marine wiring to wire all lights to one minibus (also from the boat store) and silicone to seal around the drilled holes.

Nice............very nice.....thanks for the pics.

I'm not sure I have to stones to drill into the body of my truck yet.

BTW: Are those LED and if so, will you have to replace the whole light assy if one goes out?

 

thanks...yes they're all LED lights and I don't know the answer to your question....If one fails, they all do? Really? Well, if it's the back ones, they're only $8/each so I'd be out $40. Think I'll take my chances.

If you mean...are they all hooked together like on a mounting board (like the factory front marker lights), they're not. Each light is drilled & mounted on the truck separately & then wired to a minibus inside the truck. So if one fails, I'd think you'd just take that one out & re-wire in a new one.
