The lightheads are too low in the front, should be in the grill. The rear would bave been more effective in solid colors vs split...need side warning...

I think the lower lights are fine. They would get washed out by the hlf if they were in the grill.

I have a silverado with a headlight flasher and grill lights and do not have a washout issue. Simply puts them at the right height for people to see them.
The fronts not bad, the lower lights aren't to bad, and it seems pretty effective. Rear well definitely should've been solid colors instead of split, or if your splitting it all one color then all the other. I don't know if it would need intersection warning, depends if this vehicle is used for patrol or response on a lot of calls, or if its a special services or command officers truck.
i hate when there are grill lights that low...a pair of tirr6 (or equivalent) behind the upper part of the grill could've been a lot more effective, while still maintaining a stealth look.
The bumper lights are down that low I would assume because they are angled for intersections. I also think they could've done without the license plate lights and leave the cargo and rear window lights alone. Overall not bad for whats it worth, my .02.
The flashing lights look good but the truck looks terrible. Dear gods of truck styling (a.k.a. the pinhead designers at Government Motors), please make the upcoming 2014 Silverado/Sierra pickups look better than those crappy looking square shaped boxes that GM introduced in 2007. It would be so nice to once again see a GM pickup with clean, gently rounded lines that match each other stylistically (the way Chevy/GMC fullsize pickups looked before 1999).

Pre-99 would be the 88-98 Body style, which were all "squared" body styles...

The 99-04 body style was a "rounded" one and, in my opinion, were ugly...

Then they went to an "aggressive square" body style for 05-07

Then they went to their current body style, which, in my opinion, is the best one... BUt thast just me...
