Just installed today! 8000k lows and 8000k fogs.

And I know about the 35w maybe melting the fog light lens.

Next mod is going to be Led license plate lights,led interior lights and led reverse lights. Then I plan to get rims sometime this year. Can't decide between 24 inch KMC slides or 24 inch black esky reps.

A member here has 25w HID's in his fogs with no issues. And I vote for the Esky replicas...

I love slides...I don't think they are played out but that's just my opinion. They look way bigger than they are which is cool because of the spoke design.
I have 35w HIDs in my EXT fogs...last 8 months no probs. I think you will have issues only with 55w. Most of the time the housing melts its because the user unknowingly installed the bulb a little cockeyed and it just touches the plastic housing slightly causing it to melt. I've done it myself. It's easy to do on some lights that are hard to access and reach.

X2. Slides are nice but they are played out on his board.

Are those DDM hids?

Yes they are.

Yeah I'm hoping that I won't have any problems with the fogs. I don't think the slides are out either but the esky reps just look amazing on these tahoes.

Yeah I was liking the esky reps more because not many have them.

Good point. The Esky rep 24's are a great choice. Although I used to have kmc slide 24's on my white Tahoe and it looked sick... Decisions decisions haha.

I love white tahoes with black rims. Mine is gray so I can't decide.

I can see well with them especially with the fogs light. I can get maybe a video next time I'm driving at night to show if you want.

If you have the time Ofcourse I'd line to see the output. Been thinking of doing this as well. And by the way ROLL TIDE!! I am from Talladega. My uncle Dan Kearley played under Bryant in the 60's and was roommates with Joe Namath.

Its a VVME kit but I bought different bulbs because they burnt out. BTW, VVME is the worst company IN THE WORLD. I will never deal with them again.
Anyways, I get bulbs from these guys.

Bulbs are super cheap (so I can buy several at a time) but they are very good quality IMO. I have had the same set for 6+ months and use them a lot.

is there a decent set of projectors for the NNBS Tahoes? It just seems like all of the ones that I have looked at look like some sort of JDM rubbish.

I'm in for this also if you can get it uploaded. My wife already complains about the 20% tint on the front doors at night so I can't reduce the output on her headlights also. Lol

Not that I've ever seen. And to be honest I've really never seen aftermarket projectors for any vehicle that dont look "Ricey". They are all way too busy. I think they would sell way more if they kept them simple.
