What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Countryboy07]

Nice, those are the tails I'm wanting to get too, and then get some nice pnp led bulbs. was wondering what those eagle eyes looked like mounted with clear lenses.

I think they turned out pretty good! Look better than having a normal bulb in there

 

[Countryboy07]

those are nice

Thank you!

I used my eagle eyes in the door panel light to brighten up the area around the Yuk

Those are crazy bright in that location. but not gonna lie it's too bright for me. open my doors on these dark alaska nights and I'll be seeing spots 20 minutes later lol

Definitely understand the funny part about this is I did it in the middle of the day also to my regal and I wanted able to give an opinion with the sun right there very dad so I was kinda disappointed for no reason then night fell and I was like OMG their brighter than I expected

Don't even need reverse lights. just use the license plate lights lol

All mine are 23mm 9w.
They make 18mm, 9mm , maybe others

Of course! I'd give you 52%! I'm good like that.
I really like those eagle eyes. Unfortunately I don't have puddle lights, or I'd put them in there.

Neither does my cousin on his fully loaded 06 silverado. he hates that he doesn't have them. they're still power folding, dimming, and heated but no puddle lights, apparently they are the rare of the rare for chevy parts. even more rare than esky parts.
Anyway after searching for a set at a good price I was gonna mess with the ones he has now but never got around to it. hopefully next summer I can tackle it for him. I'll take pictures of the process as always. but basically I was gonna just drill out a hole then splice the wires into the dome lights, which turn on when the door is opened or when the unlock button is hit on the key fob.

I know it doesn't seem very bright but most of them are burnt out. I will also be replacing them with a solid strip rather than gapping them.

This is what I've seen a ton of bmw owners do(back when I worked in the bmw service dept). they buy strips and stick them on the bottom of the door itself and sometimes bring it from the bottom up the side so it shines out. It looks really good. I'm thinking about doing it to the wife's 200. they would be hidden and stay clean and away from the outside elements. just clean the area real well , I've seen a few strips hanging then getting pinched in the door and body. the only pain is running the wire through the door and into the factory boot.
I don't need them as I removed my steps.

Mines are the 9w 18 mm but I'm gonna use the 23 mm fish eye switchbacks for my front turn signals

I saw those, was gonna do the same but I know the white is a 5000k and wouldn't match my 6000k lows and fogs like my current switchbacks do now.
I only get the Fisheye ones. the projectors right?

That use to be my issue but I'm gonna make the leap to led headlights so it should be closer

I also had the idea of using those switchbacks in place of my puddle lights in my mirrors (would look crazier on a white truck) or under the body, so they're white running lights at night and switch to amber during turns. lighting up the ground in white then amber. Wonder if they are a type 1 or type 2 switchback ? I would assume type 1

Eventually when I get around to a retro I'll make that jump as well.

That's another awesome idea

Thats a better picture of the led roll

you need the sealed ones if you are running them outside the truck. they come exactly the same but the are encased in a flexible clear strip.

EDIT: maybe those are the sealed ones? hard to tell.

Pnwdan they are the weatherproof type. The picture isn't the best but there the sealed type

I agree. I'm not really sure what possessed me to go with the 6500k's when bought the whole retrofit.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah a lot of people go that direction first cuz they like the look. Visibility isn't as good though.

 

[swampfoxjr]

These are what I have in my doors.

They are as bright as you can get for a 194 bulb.

I don't think there's a sharp enough edge to put the strips without having the leds showing

Also what kind of crappy game was that from dallas? the giants ...really?! ...the giants?!!

Link?
