I've got JDM Astar LEDs all around, inside and out, and I am very happy with them. Equally important, I'm very happy with the folks at JDM Astar, who assisted me in getting the right LEDs to replace all of the incandescent bulbs. We had a couple of trial and error situations, and they worked with me, taking back any LEDs that did not fit perfectly, until we successfully completed the entire conversion.

The specific LEDs that I used on my 07 Yukon XL Denali are outlined in this thread, Post #8. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/time-for-new-headlight-assembly.108917/#post-1300357

Good job, just read it, just my front and top tail lights jdms my reverse are vleds I will eventually get the turn signal and the tail light JDM s but trying to figure out where to put the resistor is a challenge where did you put yours

Oh by the way where did you put your resistor for your turn signal

And did you use the I don't want to say cheaper is not the right word less of a price 5202 is for your fog lights compared to the 69 or 49 or 99 dollar bolts

My bad on the price of the fog lights in my thread, as my actual cost at the time was $60 (I just corrected that thread). It looks like the price of this specific fog light is now $69.

From that corrected thread for the fog lights: For the fog lights, which were the 5202 incandescent spec, I used the following: JDM Astar LED Number 2G 5202 5201 Fog Light CSP (white is the only available color) ($60 per set of 2) (Note that I had to slightly cut down a protrusion on the plastic bumper housing behind the fog light lens assembly with a hacksaw blade to fit the LED into place, but the modification is completely invisible and took about 2 minutes each to accomplish.)

Regarding the hyperflash from using LEDs, I did not use any resistors, and simply kept the hyperflash. There was no simple place to mount the resistors, where they would contact only metal and not plastic, and I did not want a hot resistor contacting any plastic on the truck.

I understand that hyperflash may be illegal in some states, but it is not in mine. And, no harm will come to the LEDs or the truck from hyperflash. Last, I believe that other drivers will see a hyperflash directional signal more readily, than a regular cadence flash directional signal (just my opinion).

BTW, the front directional signal JDM Astar LED that I used is a switchback LED, and the white running light, when not using the directional signal (yellow light), is very bright, and further improves forward visibility.

I trust that this is helpful to you.

So do they go far out like normal headlights, cuz I bought the less expensive 1s, they r actually fog lights they only go so far like 10 or less infront of truck

Thank u every1 for ur feed back
