Nice upgrade, Dan!

Although I use LED for my landscape lighting projects, I have yet to integrate into my vehicles or household applications.

That said....this afternoon I noticed the dome light burned/melted a brown spot in the middle of it's lens in my Silverado....which was kinda weird....but it did stimulate my thought process towards the LED direction....

Please give sweet Olive a belly rub from the girls and I!

Looks great! It really helped to put the chrome bits on! That really tied the whole project together!

Thank you. They are a one piece unit. (Headlight/marker light) vs. the stock ones that are separate. The chrome trim is part of the assembly.
The installation was pretty easy and they actually fit "better" then the original headlights. The grill did have to be modified because of the one piece design. I just needed to cut off the ends of the grill where it would normally go between the headlight and the marker lights
The LED headlight bulbs are neat. They have tiny CPU cooling fans built into the back side of them.

I also added a thingy for the day time running lights but do not have the link for that.

Were my high beams showing that much?

FWIW, many LED headlights shine farther 'up' than the stock ones. You might want to check the alignment. I went LED on my Defender & they had to be adjusted.

Looks great- very nice!

I took that into consideration and adjusted accordingly. The adjustment on the Spyder lights is very easy. Again, Way better then the original headlights.

Do they turn off when you use the blinker?

No. The day time running lights come on when ever the vehicle voltage is 13 volts or higher. The turn signals are the lights located in the lower bumper.
