07-14 Yukon Headlights

[wjburken]

My lights were delivered today. Probably won't get them installed until this weekend though. I'll get night pics of both my stock and new lights shining on my garage door before/after install for a comparison.

Lights look to be decent quality and seem to be sealed well all the way around. The parking light has this little cup/diffuser over it that doesn't sit flush inside the lense housing, but both lights are like this so it appears to be made like that on purpose.

I like the look. Can’t wait to see pictures with them installed.

Finally, a decent choice for the NNBS Yukon’s. The Coleeco era led’s in aftermarket headlamps came and went really fast.

They seem like a good candidate to experiment w/ led or hid drop ins.




Hmmm. Seller shows local address. May pick up a set tomorrow. He just pinged back. No local p/u. Bummer. Just pulled the trigger on the same lights in the murdered out black because I'm cheap and they're $50 less than the chromed version.

I installed these today. I went with removing the entire bumper, just made it easier. I turned on/tested them before re-installing the bumper, and found one of the parking light bulbs was burnt out. I had to run by the parts store and pick up a 194 amber bulb. I'll get beam pattern on my garage door pics tonight to compare with the stock lights.

I still may need to adjust them

They look awesome!

Update....

Those pics were with the car off and just turning the parking/headlight knob manually. When driving, the LED U bar isn't lit as the daytime running lights, but the low beam/projector is. The LED U bar only comes on when parking or headlights come on.

The add says the LED U bar is the Daytime running light bar. I may contact the seller and ask.

Also, I need to find another one of these pieces that mounts in front of the wheel well and holds the top edge of the bumper cover on. It's supposed to have a threaded screw nut in the area that's broken, which holds the top wheel well liner screw. This is my drivers side, and the screw wasn't attached to anything. I just used a push-in christmas tree type fastener for it for the time being.

Thank you sooo much for the pics Tom. Mine just arrived the moment you posted this. I was wrong, another seller has them in chrome for same price as blacked out ($299.99). Glad I pulled the trigger on getting these. Potentially, stuff getting imported for Asia may really slow down if the Tecate virus keeps up. The blacked out version from this seller are sold out. Some of the chrome are still avail.

Got a set of H7 PIAA 5000K bulbs off Amazon for $43 too. It's no fun getting to the back of those lights to swap them out if you get a bad bulb.

Here's a evening comparison on my garage door from 20 feet away. My OEM housings have Sylvania Silverstar Ultra H13 high/low beam bulbs in it. The new housings came with standard bulbs and uses a H7 low beam. I should've put some Silverstars in there before installing them.

I also sent the seller an email asking about the LED bar not coming on with DRL, only when parking lights come on.

I really can't see only the LED coming on for DRL without the low beams, because no matter what, the vehicle turns on the low beams for DRL.

On the Yukons, there are only 3 bulbs and 2 wire plugs. The H13 low/high beams with its own plug, and a 5702 turn signal and 194 parking/side marker with their own plug.

Looking at the back of the new housings, the LED wires tap into the plug/wires going to the turn signal/parking bulbs and not the low/high beam bulbs. I could probably rewire the LEDs to the headlight plug wires so that the LED bar and the low beam projector come on as the DRL, but I can't see how just the LED bar can activated as the DRL without the low beam headlight.
