2010 Escalade HID headlights in a 2010 Yukon Denali?

[Robert Sparks]

I have a 2010 yukon Denali and would like to put in the 2010 Escalade HID headlights with the side LED running lights. Is this possible? If so where to purchase the healights / ballasts, how to wire them to function with the DRL. I know the Yukon has the DRL the same as the main head light which would seem to be an issue. Any advice would be greatly appriciated.

the Esky headlights are a little skinnier than the Yukon headlights. Only way to add them to fit right, is to change the hood and grille I believe.

Save yourself the hassle of a conversion and get these.

Well that is disappointing. I really want HID and the DRL to work. I see so many cars out there today that cost half of what I paid to the Denali that have OEM HID. Plus the HIDs in my 305Z reach out twice as far as the Denali. I really like the look of the LED side markers also. I am open for all input as to the best option. Thanks….

Does anyone know if the projection low beam is as good as the stock low beam? ie can you see as much down the road? See on the ones in the like below.

like said, you would have to change the basic front. with that being said, the factory esky lights will run you $2k. All the wiring would work, but i would think you would be better off trading in for one...

you can have the HID and DRL work, just might go through some ballasts.

Well, I am sure you can find the parts for the grille and hood. I have straight black so I could find the hood already painted. I could get the grille and change it to an aftermarket. Headlights would just be the most expensive probably.

Escalade headlights are pretty expensive, but I don't see why you would want to put a Cadillac fascia on something that isn't a Cadillac. If anything I'd go with Steve's idea because at least you're not branding your vehicle something it's not while still getting the new headlights.

Maybe get a T-rex or some other similar grille, I like the look of them. I may do this actually. It's possible I can get enough cash and buy all the crap and install. I REALLY want these lights on the Platinum:

They come at a hefty price of about $1600 each, but they looks so good! And actually, I have seen some "grade A" used Platinum lights on car-part.com go for about $500 so it helps to check.

Part numbers for all the front bumper components and no grille^

15945915 - hood
25897649, 25897648 - L&R headlights
25819549, 25819548 - L&R Fenders
10383562, 10383563 - Fog/turn signals


$4,604.25 for everything and the HID's, no grille. Grille is another ~$300 if I remember correctly. Many of the bumper components may be replaceable with the ones under the Yukon bumper, but this is the cost for all that new.

Good info, is this price of $4600 at GMPartsDirect.com?

if so thats still crazy expensive, and could you imagine the cost at the caddy dealer!

Yep. I don't even know if I got 100% of the parts either.

Anyone know if the Escalade and Denali/Yukon have the same hood? I believe with 99% certainty that the fenders are the same, but I don't know about the hood.

Hello,

The hoods are not the exact same on those two vehicles. There are a few differences between the two. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Are the parts on my previous post correct? What all is the same on those two that wouldn't have to be changed?

 

[zach2011]

Steve, are your parts for Platinum or base models?

And the hood is different only because of the headlight shape.

I don't remember, I think only the base. I know the fenders are different because of the vent, but would they fit otherwise?

 

[zach2011]

They'll all fit, but I know that at least for a Tahoe you have to change out the inner fenders as well (not sure if you have that listed), though a Yukon's inner fenders may be the same.

Yep don't have the inner fenders listed. Are those side vents stick on? I don't see them having any functional use
