Hello-

Thanks to this awesome forum I have successfully installed the NBS cab/clearance/roof lights on my 02. I used the actual GM lights purchased from a dealership.

To my issue: The drivers side light that I first got was a considerably darker orange LED than the center or passenger side. I took it back and got a new one for free under the GM 12-month part's warranty. The new one I received is ALSO a darker orange when lit up. When not lit up, the housing colors all look the same (and look awesome!). Lit during the day it's slightly noticeable, at night it's obviously different.

Has anyone had this issue? It's like GM went with a different supplier or had a large batch of bad lights. I want to emphasis these aren't RECON lights, they're OEM GM parts. I'm about to go back to the dealership and try to get a new center and right lamp (in case the darker color is actually the "correct" one), but honestly I'm worried about embarrassing myself by ordering a ton of lamps to fix this issue. The only thing that keeps me motivated to fight is that fact I spent over 200 bucks on them (harness, tax, shipping, etc).

I'd take pictures, but I never have good luck at night shots. Thanks for your input.

Take ur truck to the dealer and show them in person. If daylight outside than pull in service bay or detailer section. Check ur bulbs also.

The dealer believes me, the manager has come out and looked at them. I'm just curious if anyone's had this problem before. I'm also curious if the dark orange or the lighter orange is the "correct color".

Also, no bulbs- they're LEDs. I can't swap out the pair of LED's, just a whole lamp assembly.

I installed them also on my 05, I noticed this also, but mine is only a slight difference, went to the dealership at looked at them on the new trucks on the lot at night, they all did it to...

I too added these to my truck and the two outside lights are darker than the center. I figured it was made that way. I have noticed some on the road that is not like that though. I would like for them to all be the same.

Wow, I really want to add oem cab lights but don't know where to start. Kudos on having the skills to do it.
