^looks good. That's what I want mine to look like. Just gotta get my paint skills there. Lol.

Longest part will be masking it off. On a small piece like that, that never comes in contact with anything you wont have to worry too much about your paint skills lol. I was never the best painter either, I feel your pain, but practice makes perfect.

@kwOH , I've learned my lessons the hard way with over spray. I have no intention to leave that on while it's getting painted. It's coming off to get painted. Lol.

With really light over spray you can use a clay bar on it. Comes right off.

Good info to know!

But you won't have any overspray due to the following right?

Ok I'm being quiet now. I must have read past that. Doh! Sorry man.

Hey guys quick question! Anybody baked open a headlight assembly before? I'm watching a video actually done by the the retrofit source and it's pretty informative. But I cant understand what he's saying for what temperature to set oven to and that's hugely important. Don't want to screw it up lol. Can't tell if he's saying 207 degrees or 270 degrees?! Anyone know what temperature to use?

 

[Tonyrodz]

I'd think 270, since 207 is an odd number for a stove. Good luck.

 

[93blkongreenpro]

I set mine at 200 and did 7 minutes.

What did you use for under hood lights and where did you tap into?

I have yet to start on that mod. No under hood lighting yet.

So the headlights have proven to be an interesting adventure. I can say so far that I'm impressed with the quality of the depo housings. The black part of the housing is painted instead if just black plastic. I like that. And fitment is perfectly on point. In fact I think they fit better than my stock ones did. Still need a bit if tweaking to get them aimed properly. The led halo strips also need a little work. The vouke leds I bought for my lows are impressive so far. Light output is 100 times better than the aftermarket housings. And I have the vouke highbeam led setup ordered now. Pics to follow soon.

Interested in the fitment of the Voukes in the Depos? No depth issues or sealing up the hole itself?

Which model did you order?

What do you mean by " the light output is 100 times better than the aftermarket housings"? Did you just swap the bulbs or did you do a retrofit of some sort with new projectors?

 

[adventurenali92]

@Fosscore , here's which ones I ordered, they are a direct fit. No modifications. I think because the denali housings are designed bigger and deeper than the tahoe housings the vouke leds fit in with no issues in that aspect. Still can't figure out how to readjust where the actual bulbs are aimed though on the back of the depo housings. That's annoying the heck out of me! anyone got any ideas on how to readjust aim?
