Thanks. I lucked out. I was able to get the exact one I wanted minus the automatic running board.

How's the sound on that intake?

Considering an AFE for my Escalade but kinda prefer just hearing the KPE exhaust on the beastly 6.2 for now.

Are the led's a direct replacement

I love the difference in sound. And you feel the sound... If you can understand that. It's like I went from a pinhole straight to a 3" opening. You feel the engine sucking in air.

Yea http://www.xenondepot.com/PSX26W-LED-bulb-cree-p/xd-psx26w-led.htm

Opted for LED's cuz (1) I kept reading that HID's melt the housing and (2) they apparently don't make psx26w HID's.

Btw can anyone tell me if this is accurate. Melting fog light housings due to HID heat?

Kinda dumb question but humor me haha. Would those LED bulbs fit my figs on my 2006 Denali XL? Been wanting to do LED for my fogs but can't find any. Does that website give Me an option to shop LEDs based on plugging in my year make and model?

She's a beauty. Any consistent idea yet on your mileage with the K&N? And I may as well be the first to ask you about the infamous vibration and thrumming. Sense anything?

It is definitly possible.
As to LEDs...The only bad thing about LED's is some of the smaller LED's don't have diodes on the sides and fronts to utilize the reflectors to actually project light. If you live in the snow, also the LED's won't generate enough heat to melt snow covering the lense.

I prefer the led vs hid conversion for fogs not designed for hid, but the good bulbs will be expensive.
