Retrofits on my 2010 from theretrofitsource

[fatboyracing]

I thought that I would share my retrofits I made for my 2010, these will work for a 07-14 Tahoe, Avalanche, or Suburban. I am so happy with the outcome.
I got most everything from the retrofit source I will for sure use them again they have great customer service!!

Parts not from the retrofit source
I got my resistors from amazon I did not notice the retrofit source had them until I order these

Used these for headlights
http://www.amazon.com/CHEVY-AVALANC...pebp=1436794170200&perid=1MG30K4EPTTVGWQAX4Y5



So I was told that the eagle brand headlights used butyl to hold them together se they are easier to get apart.

I was not allowed to use the oven to soften the lights my wife said no way, so I used a heat gun.
The lights came apart fairly easy just used the heat gun and screw drivers to pry them apart.
Everything after this is fairly straight forward I used a dermal grinder to open the hole up and smooth it out.
Before grinding

After grinding front and back this has to be done to give you enough space to tighten the nut




I used some Loctite Epoxy Putty Multi-Purpose Stick to glue the back together






I used heat sink compound on the back of the resistors when I mounted them. This helps them transfer the heat.
I also solder the wires I am not a fan of the crimp connectors they come with.

I also used Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, 3 oz. Tube on connectors
http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-2205...=1436796300&sr=8-1&keywords=dielectric+grease








DRIVE WAY IS NOT LEVEL!!

Next I am going to do the fog lights
Also plan to change the rear back up lights and brake lights to led
Then my wife’s Honda Pilot, followed by our Toyota Tacoma

The light is great I am so happy, and I won’t blind oncoming drivers

They came out great! I can't wait to see how the fogs turn out. I hope one day I can build up the courage to try and get mine started one day. Maybe I'll try and tackle it as a winter project.

These look fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the fogs. What projectors are you planning for them?

I love that you went with the 4500k

posting how to remove the bumper in case someone is wondering (someone asked on a dif page figured I would put this here for future.

All you need is a 7mm and 10mm socket and ratchet as well as a panel popper tool

Remove the 2 bolts and 3 push in clips on each side of the fender well



remove the 6 bolts on the top side of the grill



unhook fog light wires



unbolt 2 bolts on the bottom of the bumper one on drivers side one on pass side



After that pull each at the fender well away from the truck (not towards the front but out)
once each corner is out pull the hole thing forward

Great job!!! Lets seem some distance cut-off pics. Did my input help on setting up the bi-xenon function and light output?

 

[DWebPro]

what options did you select when you ordered the BI_Xenon Morimoto mini stage 3 (h1) ?

 

[fatboyracing]

sorry I just saw this

I chose
LHD
Gatling gun for the shrouds
4500k bulbs
hd harness not the canbus
and I added the sealant
