time to upgrade the lights

[bowtiefreak]

Ok, like it says I am looking to upgrade the lighting on the tahoe. The headlights and front turn signals are really fogged and almost yellow. I have seen new crystal headlight casings. I have also heard that some tend to leak and get water in them. Who's got some good ideas and or pictures for me? Trying not to break the bank either.

best ones out there for the headlights are the TYC HID kit like the ones i picked up. 992door and RT have/ had them and mine are just F-in amazing. mine were $225 shipped after negotiating with the "best offer" thing

my turn housings are staying dry and fit perfectly. picked them up outa the LMC catalog for less than $50.

I had those headlights on my 99 suburban and loved them. I wish there was somthing out there for my silverado. As the Street legel TYC hids are AMAZING. Just like stock HIDS.

How hard is the install, are they a direct replacement or does it require some wiring changes?

headlight is direct install. But you will need to find a ground (not hard at all)

simple swap, might as well get brighter bulbs while your at it

it comes with D1R street legal HIDS.

looks like we have a winner

Got the TYC HID headlights also, great lights. I'll be switching out the bulb to a higher kelvin though, or completely upgrade it to a 55W 8000K kit.

Bumper lights I also got off of ebay for $33 shipped.

They look great. That is exactly the look i am after. Replacement bulbs easy to get?

Should be able to get D1R bulbs form DDMtuning.com

So these housings are retrofitted? is there any flickering or ricer glare? Anyone have any pics of them lit?

8K HID's in my TYC Crystal Clear Housings. And Clear Signals. Clear Corners. Which I cant seem to find anymore.

Before HID's

they are sweet

They aren't the same though. The TYC HID Ones are designed for HIDS. His are still halogens with HIDs in there. You might as well put HIDS in your stock housings.

 

[bowtiefreak]

I realize that. I am just looking at options

 

[haks310]

Lifted99, your bumper housings, they're TYCs also? If so, can you hook it up with a link. They match way better than the ones I have, I would just have to paint the trim black.

The TYC housings have projectors in them??

 

[haks310]

No, they have HID reflectors.

 

[Lifted99Yukon]

No, they have HID reflectors.

How do you know they are True HID Reflector's? Looks identical to any other clear headlights with the cut-off shield.

From the Ebay Ad:

"1988-1999 Chevy/GMC full size pick up truck / 1992-1999 Chevy/GMC Suburban euro clear head lights by TYC with built in Philips/Osram HID system!

Complete head light assembly with HID kit (left + right + complete HID system)

Philips/Osram HID is very high quality and is used by many well known car maker such as BMW, Audi and etc... as standard factory equipment"

Doesn't say anything about them being a HID Reflector Housing. Just the HID already setup.
