Let me know how those work out. I may switch to those, but in amber. I still ike the idea of an amber lens instead of the clear lens on the drl housing, just not sure how to pull that off. Hummbobs idea of the film is ok, but just doesn't sound like a good long term solution.

There is just something with the DRL sockets of all GM vehicles from 2004 and up. The 4114LL bulb produces a lot of heat and it is on a lot. Heck my 08 H2 has 780 hrs on the engine and 28500 miles (do the math and find my average MPH). Onstar says I drive 160 miles a day average. So that is a lot of on time for those bulbs. Actually I had the PIAA 3157 in there from day two come to think of it before I put in the LED units. I replaced the DRL sockets with new ones and they still havent turned color yet. They stay cool.

Maybe measure the lense, then check the interweb to see if there is a lense that matches in size??

You may have to Maguyver it to fit though??

without butchering the front bumper, the lense film may be a better solution.

Yeah, but the rubber surround on those 4" leds measures 5.5 inches, so if you can trim it down slightly it might fit. We will keep working on this and find a solution. Might turn into a cool mod once we figure it out.

The Pilot 4" light is what a few friends of mine upgraded to on their Hummers.

Here is the link

I knew that question was coming :) I already asked them to send over a pic of them so I can post it. They fit BEAUTIFULLY. If they dont, I'll buy the pair from you since I am going to buy a pair for the other 08 H2. I like the ability to color change the beams.
