Here's my Denali thread:

https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/update-04-07-2006-yukon-denali-winter-beater-sold.106950/

and here's the retrofit video I made:

whatever was on the Denali was not what was on these Chevy ones, and the Denali stuff was much easier

I was able to do those retrofits in about 30 minutes each

Those Denali’s aren’t permaseal. I watched that part of the video and I can tell you, permaseal does not flex like that. It’s more like melted plastic but harder. It’s a hard epoxy like material. You can’t even cut it with a razor knife.

well whatever it was, it wasn't pleasant

pretty sure I destroyed these headlights. I ordered another set and will need to take my time removing the permaseal on the next set.

I'll also probably make a video of how to do the whole retrofit, since it was not nearly as intuitive as I expected based on people's postings.

good news, the lights look really good cosmetically

bad news, my light output sucks and these housings will probably fall apart soon

literally held together with duct tape and wood screws in some areas

should have some output pics tonight

I thought those decals were supposed to go on the inside?

I don't think so.

This is the 4th set we've done and they've always been on the outside

cutoff actually isn't too terrible on the ghetto retrofit

it just looks like the brights on one of them is messed up

I'll probably have to take it apart to be sure, but I think the driver side shield isn't opening up all the way

Helluva difference.

Lol...I was wondering about the same thing!
