Looking for Black Flame Custom Pics Halos+LEDS on a Yukon

[Mattfox27]

Im looking for pictures of Black Flame Customs projector conversions on 07+ yukons.

Especially looking for what the CCFL Halos and LED strips look like with black headlight and on a working vehicle...

Anyone have any input on color temp? Im thinking 5K i think 6K is too blue but i want a hint of blue but mostly really white.

Thanks

I think HBR has them. He's a member here.

Hey Matt......no halos or LEDs on mine, holler if I can help.

 

[chris4851]

I have BFC headlights painted black, however no halos or LEDs on mine either.

 

[mattah]

I think there are 4 of us who have them on the forum. 3 including myself have chimed in.

I have them in Denali spec, 5k. I thought the 6k was too blue as well just because I had them on my BMW once and couldn't see shit in rain. I still need to post pics of my install.

Let me know if I can help out.

Ya im just trying to lock down a build with them but i want to see a pic with there halos on a yukon headlight.

Were you guys all happy with there work? Were they easy to deal with?

Has anyone seen one of there setups with the Halos and LED's i have seen it on there website but they don't show the Halos for a Yukon only the LED strip and it looks kinda cheesy i think, but then i saw a Cadillac last night that had what looked like the same type of LED strip and it looked pretty nice. Im in the middle of ordering from BFC im definitely getting the Halos but im on the fence about the LED's.

While all the BFC guys are here.......anyone care to share the wire sequence that worked for lows and highs?

I would not do the led strips, these trucks are imo too elegant for that.

The problem with our headlight is that most of the time retrofits require that drls are sacrificed.

There is a way to extract the H13 drl signal from the high beam, and then one could run drl/turn signal led switchbacks on the upper reflector.

In fact I was going to do that in my retro in a couple of weeks but decided to do a different super secret setup, so I have asymmetrical switchbacks in a drawer for that purpose if anyone needs them.

But they'd have to check with bfc if they know how to recover the drl signal from H13s.

Just to note that if drl signal extraction is possible, one can run the signal to the fogs as another option.

As Serge mentioned, I have also sacrificed my DRL's. Personally I like the look with no DRL, after all its daytime. Sometimes I will put my fogs on as a DRL however this is a manual process and not automatic.

 

[Mattfox27]

Does BFC kill the DRL's somehow in there retro? Or is it a fuse pull? Or diode removal? I placed my order with BFC im just wondering what to expect with disconnect of DRL's im very good with electronics/electrical so its no worry i just haven't had a chance to play with disconnecting DRL's. I read some say its a fuse pull and some say removal of a diode underneath drivers dash can anyone confirm?

whats your super secret DRL setup? I would love to run DRL's on the CCFL halos on the retro kit...

Link to BFC ???? Please.

chris 4851 - did you take these apart and paint them or did you get them this way? niiiiice

 

[soulsea]

Link to BFC ???? Please.

I hope this isn't a double post, I can't see my last one.....

Chris4851 did you take your housings apart and paint them yourself?

Link to BFC???

Thanks

crap, did double post, sorry.......

and if you scroll to the bottom, you can choose the finish. OEM (chrome) satin, etc.

found it guys, thanks.

wow, do these things give head? LOL If I spend $945 on headlights I won't be getting any at home for a long time. LMAO

The black ones really look like something I'd like.

Gotta pay to play... especially with the big boys...

I'd say almost half of that is the cost of products, new headlights, ballast, bulbs, projectors, etc. and then the other half labor.

A good DIY if you're handy

I pulled a fuse......no DRLs or discussion of them with BFC

pretty sure this is how you do it... (Correct me if I'm wrong though)

Here's how to disable the Daytime Running Lights on a NNBS 07-up
the automatic headlights will still work.

Pop the hood. (make sure the truck is off).

Go to your under the hood fuse center.

Remove the cover.

Remove these 2 fuses.

Done.

It's not that BFC 'kills' the DRLs, it's more that the H13 setup all but kills it unless the retrofitter knows how to do it. Our H13 bulbs act in three functions drl, low, and high ... to the degree I understand it, drl pulls diminished current from the high beam signal to light up the drl. When folks put a b-x projector in there it obviously can't do all three functions so the drl is lost.

The way to reclaim it is by recovering the signal and routing it somewhere else ... to the fogs, upper reflector switchbacks (park light signal is lost in this setup), led light bars like the philips 4 in the tow hook gap, or as a ccfl halo in the projectors.

It really all depends on your preferred look and the skill of the retrofitter ... but is also limited by distance inasmuch as some things can only be done in person and not an easy PnP solution.


As far as my super secret setup ... it's nothing extraordinary but if I told ya it would be a regular secret lacking super qualities.

Just to keep things accurate -- a DRL circuit has nothing to do with the retrofitter or their skill level.

It's usually a low voltage input (generally from the ECU and/or control boxes) -- tripping either the low or high beam circuit on -- usually when the car is running and in gear or with the e-brake off.

The headlight doesn't have a third circuit for DRL, unless it's a completely separate bulbs or system (the OEM halogen bulbs only have two filaments -- two circuits).

The bi-xenon projector has ONE bulb that fires up for low beam operation and stays on during high beam activation (a solenoid inside the projector drops to provide a high beam pattern).

The DRL circuit, if left active, will signal the new bi-xenon harness to turn on and the HID bulb will fire up -- acting as a DRL.

Please let me know if that wasn't explained properly or there is any confusion with this stuff. It's what we do here.

We've been talking with Bryan from here on setting up our vendor account -- finally.
