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?

Yes I have them and they rattle very loudly on expressway. Patiently awaiting a fix from GM. There are several posts on this site with more specifics.

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...

My buddy got the marker lights installed at an aftermarket shop. No noise at all! Great add-on item and adds to the truck as well. I maybe wrong but I recall the shop got the marker lights through the dealer, so not sure why the dealers are having problems with the noise and the aftermarket locations are not(same product being installed)?? Makes you wonder....

Killian, I thought you sold your H3
Wasn't it listed for sale in June?

Couple of H3s? I wish. I'm just a poor locksmith, I don't have enough cash for a couple of 'em.
Here's the deal: I ordered a blue one way back when the dealerships were first taking orders for H3s. My dealer was charging 2500 over invoice and they told me there was no blue available so I flew to Dallas and picked up this black one to hold me over until the blue came out. I listed my black one on Ebay a while ago and I got some juicy offers but I couldn't bring myself to part with the black, it just sort of grew on me. Now don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have a nice blue one, but as they say, once you go black....

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.

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.

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.

What, no new pics!
Just kidding. I have not heard of any problems with the off road lights at all. Was actually talking to my dealer last night and they are still installing them.

Got to give you something to look forward to, right?
My H3 is so naked...I need to start adding stuff to it. First things first...black step rails are a must.
Let me know if you hear anything about the lamps. Thanks!

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?

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.
