Spyder Auto HD-YD-CCK88-C Chevy C/K Series 1500/2500/3500/Chevy Tahoe/GMC C/K Series 1500/2500/3500/GMC Jimmy/GMC Yukon Chrome Crystal Glass Headlight

I have always been disappointed with the stock headlamp performance on my 1996 Silverado. The plastic headlamps had weathered and become severely cloudy. I looked for a replacement with better lenses- preferably glass. I found these Spyder lamps and started doing research. Several enthusiast websites did in depth tests, and all were positive. I decided to pull the trigger and ordered a set. I paired them with Phillips XS bulbs and a pair of matching clear turn signals. Installation was a breeze- instead of removing the grill I simply separated the stock headlamp assemblies from the mounting plates as if I was changing bulbs. Then I unbolted the mounting plates and snuck them out through the parking lamp openings. Installation of the new headlamps was the reverse. Everything was plug-and-play and fitment was perfect. They look pretty sexy too! Testing the performance after dark was eye-opening! Headlamp performance was similar to what I had experienced with a 2008 Silverado! Beam spread, throw, and side fill is amazing! Best headlamp upgrade I have ever done. Buy a set! You won’t be disappointed. Lenses are glass, reflector assemblies appear to be some type of metal, and the glass is sealed to the reflectors with what appears to be some type of adhesive like butyl. Very well made. The mounting brackets are not as stiff as the stock parts, but I noticed no vibration of the lamps while driving. They come fully assembled and securely packaged/padded.

look like quality headlights. I hope they do not yellow like the plastic lens headlights

I was searching for replacement headlights and came across these units. My factory OEM headlights were yellow and faded to the point seeing at night was nearly impossible. I searched for a Glass option and these Spyder product headlights were listed. I have a 96 K2500 Suburban and these were a perfect fit. They do not come with new bulbs but my existing bulbs transferred from the old into these without an issue. The lenses housings (2 - Left and right) are fitted with the proper bulb openings so getting the high beam and low beam bulbs in the wrong socket isn't possible. The housing fits like an OEM product and adjustments to the beam are the same as factory. My night vision was increased by 100% (Probably due to the condition of my existing lenses). Please note that the Front clear is the Glass portion of the product, the back housing is not glass but plastic like the OEM version. This was expected and seems to be sealed properly with gaskets and supporting clips like the OEM plastic version. I expect these to be the last headlight housings I have to buy for this truck. Recommending this product is easy. The hardest part of this swap was removing the grill (Which is still pretty easy). This is a 30 minute project start to finish and I recommend this to anyone who has this series truck. Now, if Spyder made the same glass product in running lights I would buy these too (Hint Hint).

Over all not bad. I did add extra sealent where the glass meets the plastic just to be sure it stays sealed. The way the bulbs are held in place is not ideal should be a better design. I did have to drill the holes a little bigger on the truck where the adjuster screw is supposed to poke through at the alignment on these lights are a little different than the stock lights. Other than that they installed pretty easily they adjusted very well. I can't say they are a direct fit but it takes very little to get them to fit correctly. I would recommend them.

Today I was driving home and a truck shot up a big rock. I couldn't avoid it and it hit the lens pretty hard on the driver side. I was worried it shattered the lens since it's glass but whenever I pulled over, I was happy that it didn't shatter. These headlights have been flawless for me. Living in houston were constantly seeing rain and humidity. Most aftermarket lights for these obs are cheap, fog up, and break or crack. These however are proving to be a great product. Now I'm sure if another rocks hits the driver side again it will shatter but if it doesn't I'll repost another review. The plastic housing btw that bolts to the core are still solid. I was worried that the tabs would of broke from the impact since from my experience the plastic tends to be brittle. These however are still solid and work almost as good as the oem ones. If you own a 92-99 obs I recommend this highly. Not sure why Amazon says it's not compatible for 98 or 99. But when these finally shatter I will be reorder another set...

These started out promising but ended up awful. First, they look good, big clear glass fronts designed to give a bright light. Problems start immediately: 1. They are not drop in replacements. The outer dimensions are too large and don't easily fit inside the grill openings, they are 1/8" longer than the OEM lights. You can make them fit, but it makes the final aiming difficult. 2. They leak!!!, First the driver side leaked, condensation formed and the bulb exploded inside the lamp. Then, after a brief rain, I came out to find the lense 1/2 full of water all the way accross. I contacted the seller figuring I may have damaged it or had a defective unit. I even offered to buy a new one because the inside was burt black. I only received an email telling me that I need to seal the light assembly myself with silicone. No instructions to do that!! Why would I buy a "sealed light assembly" if I had to seal it myself. So, $88 for lights, and $30 for new bulbs and almost an $80 ticket for a brned out headlight. Expensive!! 3. 2 days later the other side also leaked and blew the bulb while I drove through a gently shower. Another $14 and more silicone. This side is not even close to being "sealed" by the factory. Now, I have pulled them both, sealed them myself, and wrestled them back in place. I wish I still had my old, yellow, cloudy OEM lights back. These are awful!

Yeah - I know. Glass breaks. But at least it doesn’t fade and yellow. These are very nice and clean. I put in LED bulbs as well - very bright now.

Like the glass lenses,no plastic. Time will tell how they last.

11/10 for quality and projection of light. Even mid grade halogen bulbs are amazing! Every OBS Chevy needs these! Replaced the sealed beam setup on my 89 Chevy with these it's like driving a new truck!

Beautiful lights, look fantastic, broke one the first month in Calgary

Quality seems to be present, but bulbs not included despite description. I expect that Amazon should ship me a set of bulbs, but I can't wind my way through their pages. Update, 2½ months later, headlight condenses , water inside. Truck has been rained on couple times and perhaps driven 30 miles total in excellent weather. I'm very disappointed in this crap product. Standard OEM H3,4 bulb doesn't fit weird socket, no idea what bulb actually does fit?
