Need more output from denali head lights and fogs.

[ROGELIO A GUZMAN]

Hey fellas I just came back from a nice little trip. My XL drove fine on the freeway, uphill, downhill and back. The only thing I didn't like was that the output of the oem projector lights is not that great. Has any one done upgrades to their oem fog and projectors. Driving back in the dark was a mission.

I have several light upgrades on my 2006. LEDs in the fog lights that were plug and play. That alone made a huge difference. I also have after market headlight housings and I’m running LEDs in both low and high beam. The housings have an ok projector lense for low and then standard reflector setup for high beam. I got the bulbs on amazon I believe. Tou could pick something like those up and run them in your OEM Denali housings. Trying to remember the brands, I think @Tonyrodz might have the same LEDs I’m running on his Tahoe?! Anyways, it’s not custom retrofit quality lighting output but a huge upgrade over stock and I quite like the setup. I’ll link the page and post in my build with the lighting setup.

check out page 172, all the photos from last summer when I did the current headlight housing setup. I think there may be some night time output shots in the next few pages as well

Both currently unavailable. They work amazing at night tho. High and low beam.

Ahh that’s what they’re called. Lol. I have the 5S in my lows beams still and they’re great. My highs failed(sorta) and I went with a different brand when I replaced. The LED portion separated from the base where it locks into the housing. So it wouldn’t stay where I put in the housing. It would wiggle and rotate as I was driving. No good. Lol. I can’t remember now which ones I replaced with but they’re a tad bit brighter.

So any LED's should work. I mean any brand.

Some are obviously better then others. I'd stick with a name brand if possible. I think I've lucked out with my set. I'm sure I'm on borrowed time.

JDM Astar is one supplier who I've had good luck with.

Another supplier that I've just ordered from (waiting for the LEDs to arrive) is Headlight Revolution. I got interested in them, as they actually test the LEDs from all of the brands in all kinds of car/truck light housings, and then the recommend the best match for the desired light pattern. They have a number of videos on YouTube.

I think a vendor here used to sell those.

Update. I upgraded my low beams to auxbeam 9005 . And also my fogs to led 880. The fogs did the most difference. Put in a order for the highs also. Now I'm trying to figure out how to turn on both low and hi when I turn on my high beams. With out holding the stick temporary.

I wish their mod was street legal in California.... lol I’d have done it a long time ago if it was!

Thank you I just ordered it. I didn't know the fogs didn't turn on with the high beams...lol

I'm in Cali and I'm doing it. Only using it for emergencies.

Got it. Thank you for the link.

I have my DRLs modded to stay on at night with my headlights, as the LED tubes that wrap around my headlight are tied into my DRL wiring. I feel like that’s pushing the boundary with the light laws as it is, so I don’t want to get pulled over for the highs and lows being clicked on together. Lol

For the NBS denali headlights, get the quick retrofit brackets and drop the MH1 projectors in. Will absolutly run circles around leds in the stock housings

What is that mh1 projectors.

 

[adventurenali92]

What is that mh1 projectors.

A bi-xenon projector that allows for a good quality HID bulb setup. This will give the best light output, proper light dispersion and clarity, and proper beam cutoff.

You are allowed 4 headlights in California, I had a 8 hi setup on my nnbs didn't use them often but I was using them on a trip up to Washington once and blinded the piss out of a cop, he gave me a warning and let me go, lol
