2019 headlight help

[ptm82379]

Here is a pic of the vleds micro extreme 6000k h11 in a 2019 tahoe halogen projector housing.

They aren't intense as a hid bulb but I wanted plug and play. These fit the bill nicely and were more consistent then the morimoro 2 stroke 3.0.

How do I know what low beam headlights I have in my 2017 Yukon Denali? Are they Halogen or HID lights? If HID, what bulb designation D2 or D3?

Looking to up grade the intensity of my low beam lighting system.

The factory hid system has a ballast on top of the housing. It might be slightly off to the side but it's near the top and it's silver.

DS3 is the bulb size on 2019 so I'd figure the rest of this generation are the same.

You can also pull the dust cap on the driver's side very easily and look to see if it is an h11.

If you have halogen bulbs then LED is the only true plug and play option. HID will require running wires, ballasts, relays, and drilling a hole or 2. It's not terrible but it is more modification than some want to do. Of I were going this route I'd replace the housings or do a retrofit with something that has better projection and adjustment.

I pulled the dust cap off and opened the access ring on the drivers side. The bulbs were square silver and had DS3 printed on them.
So now the decision is whether I go with the Philips extreme Vision or the OSRAM Night Breaker Laser bulbs. The shootout video showed the Phillips to be the brighter of the two at 1680 lums.

Glad you found out what they were. Unfortunately I can't help much from here but you can check the retrofit source. They have alot of hid components too.

i dont have any info on that brand, but i do caution swapping to an HID or LED...JUST MAKE SURE TO adjust the light afterward...IT WILL BE A DIFFERENT BEAM PATTERN.

here is my swap to LEDView attachment 276969 View attachment 276970

Just posted these 2 to have a comparison close to one another...hard to say.

Yes I agree, it could have just been my housings. I've seen where there are some large variations in these. Both are a HUGE improvement over stock halogens.

I was trying to get both pics in one thread...didnt feel like downloading other images....

Just want a side by side for others. Hard to say, some eyes are shaper than others...dont think anyone could go wrong with either choice.

If you have HID low beams, the high beams are 9005s. I have factory HIDs still, I have not tried to upgrade with brighter bulbs…yet.

my 2019 tahoe came with HID, I upgraded the stock HID to Osram night breaker laser xenarc, replaced the halogen high beams with VLED LED MicroExtreme and the fogs with Stark Phantom psx26w bulbs, could not be more pleased, like daytime at night

for the high beams the VLed Do I need the cancellers as well?

I do not have them and have had no issues in 3 years

Just came inside from pulling my burnt out bulb. So the bulb says it's a D3S, and it's clearly HID, yet my headlight housing, the entire assembly, has H11 printed on it. I can't see very well in there, but this is such a curious case for a few reasons. First, my Sub is LTZ so it would make sense it has HID, but then why does the housing say H11? and it looks to me that the wire from inside the housing is a conversion kit, in that it doesnt look like a stock wire like the high beam wire. The dead blub I pulled off is Osram Xenarc, so that can't be a stock bulb. Doesn't necessarily make it a conversion kit, but it's not original. I dont know what's going on, I just want a working headlight!

Does anyone happen to have a pic of their stock HID bulb installed inside the housing, or at least what the wire connector looks like? I've done a search, but I can't find pics for our model.

where was the ballast mounted ? if it isnt mounted to the housing, with a factory molded stud base...it is a retro conversion.

scroll these pics, this is how the ballast should mount if OEM

Uhhhhh, well I can't see if the ballast is in that area because my headlight is installed.

I just upgraded my 2019 from 100 watt halogens to LED's. I purchased Lasfit through Amazon a combo pack high (9005) and low bulbs (H-11) for $69.99 they are extremely bright and have a good cutoff on the low beams. Outstanding value for the product.
