Which aftermarket headlamps are good? Yukon

[91RS]

I'm looking to do a retrofit to my Yukon but it needs to headlamps since they're starting to haze at the top and I've read that the GM ones don't like to come apart. I was willing to spend the money for GM ones but I don't want to break them trying to get them apart... I saw people mention Eagle Eyes were the ones to buy but I'm not seeing any listings on eBay or Amazon saying the brand is Eagle Eyes. Looking at pictures on eBay, Amazon, and Rock Auto it looks like there may only be two that actually look like the factory lights and one that is an all chrome housing.

This one lists the brand as "Brock" and they're the cheapest ones currently on eBay and Amazon.

If anyone cares, I ended up buying the ones from this listing and they showed up with Eagle Eyes all over the box. Only time will tell how they hold up.

Thanks, I would be interested to hear how well they hold up. I've been looking to replace mine but am wary of the cheaper aftermarket lights.

I will probably have clear bra put on them to hopefully extend their life. If I weren’t doing the retrofit, I would have spent the money on GM lamps. I just don’t want to risk damaging GM lamps trying to get them open. For the cost of these, I’m not out much if I screw it up.

It’ll be a while, I’ve got to do the retrofit first.

So these are set up for halogen or Xenon bulbs...?

Halogen. They're basically cheaper aftermarket clones of the OE lamps. They "look" almost identical minus the GMC logo on top of the turn signal.

Sorry what I meant to ask is HID setup for these.

My OEM lamps have a lot of glazing at the top from car washes but I have polished the main section so they are much clearer. But the OEM lamps are so-so at best... I am using Silverstars...

I've tried the HID kits in previous vehicles and sometimes the reflectors are good and the output is fine and doesn't blind oncoming traffic and on others it was terrible. It was always terrible on headlamps with the low beam and high beam as the same bulb. I will say I worked on a customer's Denali a few weeks ago that had an LED drop-in bulb and the output looked to be at least half way decent and the high beam seemed to actually work but I have no idea what brand it was and I didn't drive the truck in the dark so it may have in fact been terrible.

I'm doing a projector retrofit on these whenever I get around to actually doing it because I want proper light output for safety.
