Sorry for being late to the party , I replaced all the headlights, blinkers and side marker lights through RockAuto on my 93 Silverado. Only one side marker has a bulb they were about 3.80 each, headlights complete $49.00 for both bulbs included, blinkers were about $19.00 for both. I just ordered and installed all the same for my sister's 95 Yukon too and so far no problems. Everything came from TYC by way of Rockauto. I did the dash top glue in piece instead of the $300 plus complete dash replace. You cannot tell where I replaced the part. As long as you follow the instructions it goes nice and half the cost. I made up bags with sand to hold it all down while the silicon cured.

Yup. $100 at RockAuto and your resale value on your truck jumps $1000. On other cars TYC may be mostly cheap junk, but it fits right on our trucks.

I think they make the Eagle Eyes light assemblies that I have on my Burb. I've been very happy with them, and the price was great too.
This is one thing nice about the 400 platform, that the parts are so interchangeable. That's one thing that makes the newer ones more expensive, that so many different variations of parts exist. The Chevy uses different parts than the GMC, and all 3 SUVs have their own sets of parts. Makes a wreck more expensive to fix too.....

I think the difference between my 93 Silverado and my sister's 95 Yukon was marker lenses and the blinkers are a different color around the edge. Oh yea our grills have screws all over, Yukon/GMC grill just hooks on the bottom and a couple of screws on top, kinda flimsy I thought, but keeping that opinion to myself. I can see it becoming expensive on SUVs heck even the window molding is different and really pricey. The spread on 400 parts for us is good and makes it more cost effective to replace, repair, and restore. A rear door outside molding, on a 07 Tahoe $130, if you can find it and it's plastic.

My cousin works for a municipal fleet, and he's told me how much the crash parts are on the last 2 generation police Tahoe. The headlights on the 14--20 Tahoe with the LED DRL strip are over a grand each side....my eagle eyes(probably TYC or their supplier) were $37 each, bulbs and mounting hardware included.
I've noticed on the '21 Burbs and Tahoes that I've seen around (they are popular in greater Houston) there's different taillights on different trim groups. So how much is THAT gonna cost when you back into something and crack the lens, or you get backed into? It's a running joke in this area, that you don't see the SUVs with undamaged backsides because people always back into something in parking lots. I guess the backup camera helps with that, but some dopes don't even look at those, let alone looking in their mirrors....Came VERY close to picking a tin can F150 out of the drivers side of the Burb yesterday at our last work stop. Idiot didn't look to see was anyone coming down the aisle, just slammed it in gear. One a them "God put His hand down and kept us from getting hit" deals. I had to sit in the truck for a bit 'fore I could go in, let my heart rate slow back down! That's the side that I had to swap the door on in 2017, from my wrecked Burb, and I don't have any more spare sheet metal.
