They lasted about a year before they faded and now have to be replaced. I know the Florida sun is brutal, but the truck is only exposed to the sun in the morning and my OEM GM grill and hood breather are black and show absolutely no signs of fading. I bought these because they were half the price of the OEM housings, but now I have to buy the OEM ones anyway. Even though they were half the price, I would of expected them to last longer, $500.00 is not chump change!
