About the finish
These are plastic pieces with a chrome plating, imported, and the listing says they're "Cut to perfection & Polished to a Mirror Shine." They aren't stainless steel, which matters mostly for care: plating should be cleaned gently, never polished with abrasives.
Attachment
3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape holds the bezels on. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The record doesn't show the tape layout, so rely on the photos for where each piece meets the light.
Plan the job
Work on one tail light at a time so the untouched one stays as a reference. Begin by holding each bezel up dry and confirming which lamp it matches in the photos. If neither orientation looks right, stop there and call 877-752-3811.
Clean thoroughly
Road film collects around rear lights. Wash the area with soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely. Follow with a wax-and-grease remover, then wipe once more with isopropyl alcohol just before the bezel goes on. Avoid touching the cleaned surface.
Set and press
- Use painter's tape to mark where the bezel's edges fall.
- Have the Avalanche bezel and its 3M tape ready.
- Position the bezel against the marks without sliding it.
- Press firmly over all the taped contact points and hold.
Once tape touches the surface it grabs, so line it up carefully before letting it make contact.
Timing
The tape bonds best in mild, dry conditions. If it's cool, work in a garage. Leave the truck unwashed for a day after fitting.
Keeping the chrome bright
Mild soap, water and a soft microfiber cloth are enough. Keep rubbing compound, metal polish, scouring pads and strong solvents away from the plating.
When to call
Call before ordering if your Avalanche is outside 2002-2006, if its tail lights have been replaced, or if the photos don't match what you see on your truck. Having your year and a photo of the rear corner ready makes the conversation short.
If it doesn't line up
If a bezel sits unevenly in the dry fit, try it on the other lamp in case the two were mixed up. If neither piece settles where the photos show, stop before mounting and get in touch; a piece that hasn't been bonded is far easier to sort out. Count both pieces when the box arrives and hold on to the packaging until the job is done.
Store the Avalanche bezels flat until fitting day.

Installation tips: Tail Light Bezels
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
