OGP Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Do you have any overheating issues with 2 big HID lights in front of the radiator? I wanted to mount mine behind the grill also but didnt want to take a chance by blocking the radiator with lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few late 04 and early 05 LLY models had overheating issues. GM still never said what it was. I think it was a casting flaw in the block but whateva. That chits history now. We don't get em in the shop anymore. Maybe they all melted down on the side of the road! :ah: Mid 05 and on LLY's didn't have any issues, especially 06's.
