Roof Marker lights - anyone have em?

[SteveRH]

I was recently told (by a dealer) that they are not being sold as they are noisy and GM is working on updating them somehow to resolve the issue... I am going to buy an H3 in the next few weeks, but really want them... I see that they are sold independently online anyway... anyone have them and if so, have you noticed extra wind noise?

LMAO

Pics of your naked H3 might just work

I will let you know if I hear anything. No side steps right now? Do you want them for looks or function? I am trying to decide if I want them or not. I don't use them to get in and out but like the look. The problem with having them is that I know my leg touches when getting in and out and I would always be getting dirt on my pants. Just my observation. Anyone else have any thoughts on them?

[HIHUMMER]

They do put all that stupid useless stuff (let's put a 60inch Plasma TV in a VW Bug...great idea...). Overhaulin keeps it as a true classic. You should check it out.

Thanks Laura. I wish I had long legs, but my gene pool only let me grow to about 5'4. Bummer.

Have them and no problems. Installed at ORR in Bossier City, La



Green, 5 speed, Adventure pack, sunroof, XM, rocker and under protection, grill guard, 3000 miles and NO CHROME

They're my rear marker lights. They're factory H2 stock that I wired in to the tail lights, they come on with the front markers. They sort of look ok in the photo but they're too big. I got some other one that look perfect but I've been in England so I've not had time to switch them out. Maybe in the next month or two when I have time.

Went to have them put on mine and the service manager told me they are loud and leak even when siliconed. He recommended waiting

or should i say my neck of the desert

I just picked up my H3 last Friday and my salesperson told me they couldnt install the marker lights because they were "quarantined" from GM because they leak. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I had not heard about a leak. As far as I know, the quarantine is due to wind noise. Some have had great luck with them while others get unbearable noise on the highway.

[SteveRH]

Thanks everyone for your replies - glad to hear that it is being worked on... - or even better that crop000s was able to have them put on without any trouble... I have to admit, I think it makes the H3 look more like it's predecessors with the roof marker lights than without. That's why I am going to get them. crop000s, sounds like we'll be driving similar vehicles soon... I dig the green too...

I would love to have a muscle car again. One of the best cars I ever had was that 442. I also had a '70 Cutlass Supreme convertible at the time that was my daily driver and the 442 only came out on nice days. Every once in a while I will go search around for a 442 but damn they have gotten expensive. There are a lot of fake 442s out there (regular Cutlass with the 442 emblems and ram air hood) and anymore, I wouldn't mind because I just love the look of them.

we were up at the cendars this week end and i sure would like to take the h3 there, we had our quads but the whole time i was seeing jeeps and keeped thinking im going to have to come back whith the h3...we were up there in my husbands truck and 5th wheel ...what a cool area

[HIHUMMER]

What about the roof off-road lamps? Have ya'll heard anything good or bad about those?

[SteveRH]

I was considering to add marker lights. But there was too much confusion. I went to the dealer and looked at the ones they instaalled (they said they were the new version) they did not fit perfectly and tere was black foam in there. Then I saw 1 with the off road lghts (NICE) perfect fit. I ordered them from lynch. Gonna try to install them myself. I send pics and let y'all how it went.

[HIHUMMER]

I do like how they look but...well...not to sound to girly, but it's hell trying to get in with a skirt on!
I was having a hard time deciding between the chrome or the black...but I think the black...I like the black with the yellow.

[Laura]

hey Killian
Where was that pic taken of your H3, looks like Az....kinda like my neck of the woods....

[HummerNewbie]

Pimp my ride with real cars, LOL, thats cool. They don't do all the pimped out stuff do they.

Laura, they mess up your pants all the time? I figured that would be the case. I am 6'2" and they are more of a hassle to use than not to. Now on the H2 I always use them but not the H3.

[Laura]

Im so used to getting in a big truck with 36's that ive just learned to hop in but when im getting out theres not much of a drop so just a smidge touches the back just enough for a little dirt. As i sit here and say dirt im laughing at my self cause my H3 has had more baths than any other truck ive owned in its 3 wounderful weeks. You no the one thing i miss is having a tail gate to sit on...

Yeah, I'm in Phoenix. My H3 was the first in the state, although some would argue with me, not that it really matters.

So if you can spot Phoenix in the photograph you must know where this is...

[HIHUMMER]

In the last couple of years I have gotten into the older cars. (i love the show Overhaulin..anyways..) One day I will be the proud owner of a black '67 GTO. It will look good sitting in the garage by the H3.
