2007 Yukon Denali Projector Retrofit

[acandales001]

Getting the headlights retrofitted as we speak. I was able to find a custom retrofitter via a Ford F150 forum (my other truck is a 2011 F150 FX2) that was willing to do a custom job on my Yukon. His work in unbelievable. Will be posting pics of the progress and final install on this thread. This guy can do anything you want at much more reasonable prices that what is currently available in the market place. I have him doing some very customized work on my Yukon lights (paint, multiple shrouds, halos, etc.). He's going to offer Yukon headlights as a new service on top of his F150 work after doing mine.

Specs:
Hella E55 (3") Projectors
Panamera Shrouds (4)
CCFL Halos
Philips 35w ballasts
Osram cbi (5000k) bulbs
Headlights Blackedout

Sounds like it will turn out nice. What's it going to run you price wise (if you don't mind sharing that info)

Interested in price as well

 

[soulsea]

Well approx. prices:

Hella E55 (3") Projectors: Rep $150, oem $200+
Panamera Shrouds (4): $40 a pair
CCFL Halos: $30 a pair
Philips 35w ballasts: Not sure, but more than $150 a pair if new
Osram cbi (5000k): bulbs: $200
Headlights Blackedout: dunno

Plus presumably a set of headlamps $200, harnessing $50, and labor.

Of course if these are reclaimed components a lot of $ can be saved.
No matter the cost, it's a high quality setup.

I'm loving this retrolution that's going on!

Halos to swtiched power

While I wait for these to get done, I have a question I was hoping someone could answer. Since I will be disabling my DRLs as part of this (so the projector isn't on all the time), what would be the best way to wire my 4 halos to switched power to use them as DRLs?

On the nnbs Yukon h13 setup the drl are lit as a low voltage high beam signal. Just have the retrofitter modify the harness to pull that signal and wire it to the halos.

that's going to look so nice!

Would that still work with the DRL fuses pulled, or would I leave them in and the harness would "intercept" the signal and only power the Halos?

No the drl fuse has to be in for them to work.

So yeah you have to claim the drl signal from the harness and route it to the halos. Keep in mind that that will stop the halos from coming on when your low beams are on since you'd be using them as drl, and they will be on when your highs are on.

If that bothers you, the last alternative would be to run your drl signal to your fogs and leave them main housings as they are.

It's a pain in the ass, and it stems from GM using the stupid H13 setup.

 

[acandales001]

What about my original idea to pull the fuses and wire the halos to a switched power source? Bad idea?

 

[soulsea]

It's not a terrible idea.

If you wire the independently and have a switch for them you'll obviously be able to use themat your leisure, be they with or without your projectors on. The challenge will be finding an attractive switch option that's discreet and reversible for when you want to sell your truck ... And obviously you won't have the automatic drl feature.

this looks sweet and exactly what I'm looking for. I had retrofits done on my F150, blacked out with amber halo's. I think a similar set up on the 99 caddy would look bad ass.

Who is doing the retro's for you? I'm looking forward to seeing the final product!
