Damn they look good, nice color and wheels too! How much did the lights run you if you don't mind? I just got my hands on a spare set of OEM denali headlights and I wonder if they can do a similar setup on them?

Oem can't be opened up to put the shroud and projector in. Use aftermarket replica factory housing. Buy it on eBay. They're cheap like less then 200 for the pair. Or just go through vision auto works from eBay or support a vendor here and get some made from black flame customs!!

Thanks, I guess I should have looked into it more. Oh well I'll check out the replicas.

OEM Yukon are easier to open.

At least that has been said before.

Quite honestly. If I was paying a retrofitting company I would go with OEM housing

They are.

However if I was paying 600+

I would want OEM if possible

It is my understanding they don't due to the aforementioned difficulty of opening the OEM housing. Let's say that they can use an OEM housing...that would turn your "$600 retro" into $1100 due to the price of OEM housings

Send in your old ones if possible

All this is just speculation BTW

They are aftermarket lights, but they said if you send in your own light, it's $125 off the price.
