Sorry Scotto but I don't have and can't really get anymore pics of the IPCW tails than what I have and also some night shots, I stupidly didn't take any dayshots before I left for college.
Look at the Wrong Section thread and those are the only day pics I have apart from the one here

Hey flyndog its a GM dealer hitch cover.
First and well needed accessory I got for the Tahoe, the dealer one looks real good if you have a black Tahoe/Yukon.
I suggest you get the dealer one too, if you get the Street Scene one you will have to paint it to match your car and then it will come out to be way more expensive than the dealer one!

Yeah Rizz that is true and I have done it before but it is very possible to break a clip or scratch your bumper in the process, I broke a clip doing that about 6 months ago with my Left Headlight
Better Safe than Sorry right!

I will be installing this weekend. Any tips regarding disconnection of the wiring harness? Took a quick look and I have not seen that exact type of connection. Do you need a screwdriver to depress/press the prong(s)? Just asking because it is hard to access with removing the headlight.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

To disconnect the harness is easy, just put one finger under it and another on top and depress and push away from you gentley and it will come out.
Just remember to be patient and gentle, its your first time so whatever you do now will determine whether you want to do it again if you need too.
