Any way to increase light output of lows on my '23 Yukon Denali?

[GTPace500]

I bought my '23 Yukon new and since then, I've absolutely hated the light-output from the lows. My 2018 Acura MDX with the 'jewel-eye' LEDs have much more significant light output (and better coverage) than the Denali - to the point where it's disappointing that my almost $90k truck can't match.

Does anyone know of any readily-available solutions to increasing the density or output of light? For example, any replacement LED bulbs?

I've also been looking at something like this, but am concerned that it's mostly for aesthetics and not to compliment overall output:

..I’ve been also looking, plus fog light increased light output

I believe these new trucks/suvs do not have replaceable/upgradable bulbs. The LEDs are possibly part of the whole assembly. Please try a google for confirmation

Just an hour ago on the Blue Route outside of Philly in Pa, I saw a Yukon with what had to be aftermarket (as opposed to homemade) foglight replacement units in the factory fogs locations -- but these had two stacked, round bulbs, with what looked liked a slightly-larger yellow bulb above a white bulb. They were very bright for daytime, so I'm assuming they were projectors. It looked awesome. Now I'm going to have to sniff around the internet to see if in fact someone is making these now.

A quick Google search brought this up. Would love to see the performance on these but they don't release till later this year.

Did you try aiming your headlights a little higher.?

It's not the aim; it's just the overall output. I put my truck side-by-side with my Acura and it's no contest: the MDX output is superior.

My ‘24 Yukon XL SLT headlights suck, especially in the rain or if it’s wet out. Complete garbage on a $100k vehicle.
I can’t even tell where my headlightshit the road when the ground is wet. Also can’t have the fog lights stay on with your auto headlights. Always have to manually turn them on each night.

Headlights in my 2021 F150 Lariat 502a and 2024 F150 Lariat 502a are way better. Hell even my 2012 4Runner Limited headlight were better.
