Is it possible to install these on both the front and rear lights of a 01 2500HD?
thanks.

Piece of cake! On the rears, depending on how you insert the tube, make sure the tube doesn't keep you from re-installing the tail light! (yes- I learned this first hand)

I just did a 2000 .. It is simple. The turn signal housings have plenty of room and the tail lights are not bad..Like Jim said make sure you can get the light back in and the tubes aren't touching the light bulbs. Make sure you cable tie the strobe cables securely to the frame. and if you mount the supply in the cab behind the seat leave plenty of slack when you go in the cab for body flex from the cab and frame..

If you want to take out the DRLs, a pop-in hideaway fits the hole perfectly.

I did both front and rears in a 02 Sierra, works great. (and yes, I also learned the hard way about the tailgate screw

)

Me too on the tailgate screw. About a minute with the sawzall and it was fixed. I know to watch out for this. Think I did the same thing when I installed em in my 99 sirerra I had. Installed in the rear reds and ambers and the front low beams and DRL's on a 2002 GMC Sierra.

...at least I'm not the only dipshit that did this! This sort of thing almost rarely happens, since I do this all day.
