00-06 Tahoe Projectors (Depos?)

[Nick699]

Hey, I have been reading a lot of the threads on here and it seems like Depos are the best way to go for aftermarket projectors. I just have a few questions about them such as output and putting hids in them.

Will my 9006 hids fit in the projectors?

Compared to the stock light housings with 35w 8k hids to the depo projectors with 35w 8k hid (possibly thinking changing to 55w 4500k) how is the light output?


Thanks,
Nick

Yes, the HID kit will fit. The DEPO's are much better than stock. Here are some pics. (I filled in the little holes in the cutoff shield, I didn't like them. If you buy the lights, you'll see when you look inside the projector.)

Thanks for the info and pictures. Are you running 5000k? Also I've read several threads where they seem to have a little "wiggle" in them? Did yours have that as well?

Yes, they do have a wiggle to them. But you can easily reinforce them. You will see where it flexes a little when you get them. No, they are 4300k.

Alright well I appreciate all of your help thanks

Not a problem!
Put up some pics if you end up getting them.

Hey, Keith, is the cutoff for these slightly curved or is that just in the pictures? Mainly picture 6 were you are close to a cinder block wall.

All of the ones I've seen are like curved down like that.

Yes, they all bow down like that.

I'm curious how did you reinforce them? I have the same lights and the wiggle is annoying.
Thanks

Is there an aftermarket headlight housing already designed for the HID bulbs?(2000 Yukon xl), or is a conversion the only proper way to go?...
I guess I answered my own question by re reading.lol So the upfits in purchased housings are for better projectors....

 

[chauncey0337]

I haven't seen any but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I've heard the denali projectors will work with hids but don't have the greatest output. If you want 'proper' and good output, a retrofit is the way to go.

I was starting to wonder, I keep seeing these halo things,honestly I don't want or need a fluorescent halo.lol
I was hoping for a nice set of HID lenses and then install the hid setups..Not that easy.lol

Hey, I finally ordered some DEPO housings and I thought I might as well replace my 35w 8000k HIDs for some 55w 5000k. I see a lot of people using ddm kits, but also hidguy.net. Any recommendations?

I just ordered (yesterday) from DDM, that being said I cant wait to get my fogs set up...

What color or kelvin did you order? I'm trying to figure out what the difference between 4500k and 5000k is.

4500k should be pretty close to the color of daylight at high noon(4300k). 5000k is going to have a tiny hint of blue. But just because a seller says a bulb is 5000k, the color is not always going to be 100% accurate. I heard ddm 6000k is more like 8000k, but that's just what I heard.

 

[Nick699]

I'm wanting the most light output I can get, but I've read some post where the 4500k has some yellow in it and i'm looking for a more pure white.
