Ok, cool idea outalne94z71.

OBS lights seem to win....but how will they look with NBS mirrors and the NBS rear light bar? I also have a crazy idea of doing NBS lights in my fender flares somehow...for that GMC Sierra Denali Quadrasteer look.

Ok so I can't find a 1 3/16 hole saw anywhere locally. I have a 1 1/4 though. Will that be ok to use? I'm putting on gm factory lights, not the pacer kit.

Also does anyone have a measurement for where the large holes go, or are they just right in the middle of the screw holes?

make sure you have good gaskets and lenses or they will leak, i have done it before and i recommend using rivet nuts, get the steel ones not aluminum.

I haven't had a single leak using the rubber well nuts, and I live in Western Washington.

I have both. I installed the GMT800 rear clearance light back in 03 or 04, and the tow mirrors last year. I installed cab lights on my 99 and had both rear lights and tow mirrors on my 99 diesel as well. I think everything fits together well.
