Cop problems with HID's

eandj23 · Jun 10, 2009

I am looking to get HID's for my Yukon but I dont want to deal with the hassle of cops pulling me over.

Let me know what you have experienced and what HID's you have on your car.

THANKS!

No problems so far. I'm sure it depends on where you live and how they feel that day. Plus I'm sure it helps when I show them who I work for :Handshake:

Same, no problems yet. I was even at a light with a cop on the other side. He didn't pull me over. I made sure the lights were adjusted.

Sorry to sort of hijack this thread but what temp are your lights? I really like that color.

TX DPS will pull you over for anything around here. I've had HIDs on my truck, Cadillac, and a couple other cars for a few years and haven't once been pulled over for them, not even by our outrageously strict state troopers.

No problems for me either. I have had them on for about a year now. I think it has alot to do with the color you chose as well. I have 6000k ones, so they are just very white with very slight blue to them. I bet if you get something higher than that which will look alot bluer, than you might run into some problems with cops.

Aint that the truth. I've been pulled over for "following too closely" and "stopping with my rear tires on the line thats lined up the the stop sign." (I even saw him turn his camera on 2-3 miles before finding something to pull me over for)

haha too bad i got out of both of them.

thanks for the input guys...sounds like a 6000K would be pretty safe and give it the look i want.

Any recommendations besides DDMTUNING (just want to do my homework) on where to buy a set-up that is 1) reputable 2) easy to install and 3) a good price?

hidgate on Ebay

Ed Blown Vert · Jun 11, 2009

Just so you know, DDM is local to me. I went to their store to pick up my kit.

eandj23 · Jun 11, 2009

also, what part number should I be searching under for a 2007 Yukon SLT? H11, H4...?

i heard hidgate was good on ebay too, but i ultimately like going with ddmtuning because they were outside of ebay and I can call them if I have a problem and have a lifetime warranty on ballasts and bulbs too. xenondepot, i think, is another vendor some use.

Thanks guys! I will have them soon...

Hey Guys!

Ordered my HID's a few days ago. Decided on 8000w (the pure white was close but that bluish tint hooked me in the end).

I should be receiving them by tomorrow and I will be installing them this weekend.

Will post pics after

blueflamed03 · Jun 25, 2009

cool, pics, pics

eandj23 · Jun 29, 2009

Got the new HID's installed!! Of course, I installed them during the day...then I sat outside waiting for it to get dark enough so I could fully see them! haha. Love them at night and super excited I got them in.
