I was limited to only 5 pictures, so here's a picture of the Yukon itself with them installed. Haven't taken many pics of the Yukon itself, just the projects:

You wasted no time installing these! Glad to see everything showed up quickly and as expected.
They turned out great! The additional width of the fog light beam pattern is very impressive and offers a huge amount of increased usable light. They're super bright, they look so white that they make your low beams look blue.
The Diode Dynamics SS3 MAX are probably the brightest and widest LED fog lights out there. This vehicle specific kit makes them able to be installed in a very clean OEM+ way. Which is way better than them looking like some bolted add on to the front bumper.
What type of bulbs are you running in your factory low beam projectors?
What are you using to allow your fogs to stay on with your high beams?

I'm using some Hylux 35w ballasts with some crappy Amazon HID 6000k bulbs, but they came with the small harness that I needed to get through the headlight housing's cap (I did not have HID from factory). I wanted to make sure everything would work as I wanted compared to the LEDs I used to have in there. Everything works, and even these crappy bulbs are better than the LED so I'm on the hunt for some "relatively" budget friendly bulbs to put in there. Any advice is welcome!
As for keeping the fogs on with the high I installed a diode under the dash that triggers the fog light relay whenever the high beam's relay is triggered.
It was hilarious when I first turned the fogs on out on the street for aiming, I couldn't even tell the headlights were on. This pic is just the fogs, no low beams at all:
Do you still have that trim panel by chance?
that is the last thing on my to order list for the HUD install, assuming i can finalize the esky IC install to an acceptable manner. worst case i'll fall back into a denali IC if my plans don't work out on the esky IC. But that champagne trim panel should be the exact one i need

I don't, sorry. It actually had some sort of problem with the metal portion. It's like something had taken off the clear coat in some places.
Well.darn. guess I'll have to find one at the local wrecker yard

I ended up getting off of GMPartsDirect, ended up being just as much as the ebay junkyard version.
In other news, moisture in the headlight again. Time to hunt for Morimotos again.
I've bought all my Morimoto stuff from DDP out of texas, Clayton down there always seems to beat out everyone else's price. That's where i'll be getting mine for my suburban when i do get them
Give Clayton a call, good guy, small Texas business. Love working with him

Well, the headlights decided to stop leaking, but I'll always be on the look out for a deal. Probably wait for Black Friday or something. Not much going on with the Yukon lately, just changed the oil, really. Still only putting about 1 ounce of fluid in the catchcan per 1,000 miles so I'm happy with that. I did bump the oil weight up 5W-20, but that was about it.
Oh yea, I am tuning with HP Tuners now. Needless to say, it's WAY better than the Predator 2 I've been using. I've never had a transmission shift this nice. So far I've used BlueCat transmission tool, and bumped up the line pressure a bit. As for the engine, I've got VVE tables tuned (kinda, this one gets "massaged" a lot), and the MAF table lined out. I've also bumped the timing up a bit and changed the PE tables, too. It's a totally different animal now, and I'm just getting started!
