Denali Headlight Recommendations

If you think about selling your Denali headlights hit me up, Im in Columbus and want a set for my Yukon.
How bad is the condensation?

Not bad, I was just planning on letting them dry up and re siloconing them

I may just pull them apart and remove the reflector or night shades it

Great video. Would those brackets work on the Tahoe Depo headlights?

 

[mharders]

I don't think so. I think they were only made for that specific light

I'd also recommend DEPO headlights. I have some, but then I went and retro'd them.

Believe it or not, our headlights are designed to allow condensation. They are made to breath. If you take the light out and look closely on the back, there is a rubber snorkel looking thing and a small round "patch" of cloth on another spot. That cloth is essentially a Gore-tex type fabric that allows air to move. If it is all functioning correctly, the condensation should evaporate on it's own fairly quickly, and even faster if you run with the lights on for a bit.

Even in winter?

 

[DenaliAK]

Theoretically, yes. If the condensation persists or water is pooling in the light, there might be a leak rather than just the usual humidity, or one of the air holes in the light might be blocked or have dirt caked on it or something, preventing air flow. Once you turn the lights on, the heat should create a convection current of air that will dry them out.

How hard was it to open your depos? I'd like to get some and take the reflectors out. I don't want the halos or LEDs that's why I'm going with depos. Do you have a shot of your front end with the headlights off just so I can see what they look like. Thanks!

I say leave them as is and do a low beam retrofit. I had mine done by a pro but they are pretty easy to do. I read a few threads from some members who have done it themselves too. Let your light output do the talking

Money well spent IMO

This will be my next mod for sure! I've got a mint set of headlights in my garage begging for a retrofit
