Headlights and spoiler

[drewcrew]

Confused as to having a spoiler on a pickup. Just for cosmetics?

I call it a spoiler. Some people call it an air dam. Same thing in my book.

No phone number. I think i got my 4wds airdam from them n it fit perfect. I thought u meant a tailgate spoiler. On the headlights i think TYC has a good reputation. I went aftermarket n mines all blacked out lights. Never looked into the factory style.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

Get the TYC headlights from RockAuto, about $50 for the pair, which is pretty good. Not sure I'd trust the quality of a $10 air dam though.

I have heard TYC are good lights. I'm not even considering the $10 air dam. Freight on it is more than $10. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

BDY-GM1090108V $14.99 and BDY-GM1090108C $21.99 are stock replacements at Summit Racing.

I've also heard good things about TYC lights if you're going for the stock diffused style lens but don't want to pay OEM prices. GM does still make factory headlight assemblies for these trucks but last time I looked they were around $150 per side.

$150 per side is just insane. I can't justify it. Thanks for the info.

just be very careful if you go with some cheap aftermarket units. I learned the hard way as soon as I attempted to adjust them and the plastic gears stripped. Ended up purchasing oem lights from GM.

I second the spyder glass lenses but they do have a couple flaws. they will leak eventually so I siliconed them. 1 of the bulbs wasnt tight so I put a larger O ring on it. I also put antisieze on all the threads so hopefully I can adjust them in 20 years. I think I also dissassambled them with the quick release screws that are supposed to let you remove the lense without removing the front facia. I then put a couple rubber washers somewhere in here to stop a slight rattle.

I v had 1 set for 6 or 7 years and the other for about 5. I will buy them again.

they are oem style, just made of glass.

I had that happen to me with some clear Spec-D Tuning headlights with the glare cap on them. $60 in the trash, I was pretty pissed. Lesson learned: always check to see if the adjusters work before siliconing the edges. If I hadn't of siliconed the edges, I could've sent them back.

What I called a spoiler is also called a valance or an air dam. I thought I should clear that up. A company named LKQ carries them and they show 2 of them for our trucks. One is $13 and the other is $24. I have bought from them before and the quality is really pretty good. I forgot all about them till yesterday.
