DDM hid question

[Scotty]

I see everyone saying to get the relay harness. All I see is the error code elimnator. Is this the same thing cause on other sites I see an actuall relay harness.

Thanks. I finally found it.

What color bulbs are you going with Scotty?

 

[Scotty]

I went with 35w 6000K for both my hi/low and fogs. I have an 07 Yukon.

The yukon kits already come with the harness. I was getting intermittent firing in my yukon and they said to disable the DRL's. If you have any problems, try that.

Nice, thats the best color in my opinion. Perfect mix of color and brightness.

Just be carefull with the fogs, dont run them for extended periods of time or when you dont need them. They will burn the inside of the housing if your not a little carefull. Take my word from it, I just replaced two housings and both bulbs. But, if you use them carefully, they will last a long time and look sweet.

Also, when you are installing the fog HID's, I found that it is much easier to sdeat the bulb when you pull the housing out of the bumper. Pulling them out is VERY easy, you dont even have to unscrew anything, they just pop out from behind. That way you can make sure the bulb is in there good, and to make sure you dont break off the tabs that hold the 5202 bulbs in.

Thanks for the heads up. Is this a problem with all or just hit and miss. If so how do you disable to DRL's.

Appreciate the heads up. They should be in Fri or Mon. I'll have to install them when I get back. The sent them out quick. A few hours after I ordered them they sent me a tracking number.

Are you using the HID with the original housing or are you putting this on the aftermarket housing with projector? I'm planning to do one on mine. I used to have it on the 4runner and it has the projector housing so it was nice, but not sure how it would look on the factory housing. I don't want to blind all the on coming traffic or be a jack@$$ and blind everyone in front of me . Post some pics once you got them installed.

I'm going to use the original housing for know. If it doesn't look right I'll get projectors. I had a '03 350z before my Yukon so I know how it feels to be blinded by everyone. I get home tonight so I'm hoping to have them installed tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll post pics though when I'm done.

Conor, can you explain in detail how to remove the fog light housing from the bumper, I've always had to make a trip to the dealer to have a blown bulb replaced, and I'm almost certain they are doing the same thing you are talking about because it only takes them one or two minuites to change the bulb.

Thanks...

Just crawl under the truck where the fog lights are. Look for the back of the fog light and push the 3 pins out and they should just pull right out.

 

[derk]

Hey Scotty did you order the 5202 bulbs for the fogs?

Conor did you have the 5202 bulbs in when you melted you fogs?

When i installed my 6000k 35w i had to adjust my low beams down so I wasnt blinding everyone. (might be just casue my hoe is lowered) Stock suspesion you should be fine cuase the rear end in higher then the front so your lights will point down more. If your tahoe is level, This is a very easy to fix this, so dont be that ******* on the road and not pointing your lights correctly.

Yeah I ordered the 5202 for fogs. I got my head lights installed tonight, try to get pics up tomorrow. Ddm decided not to let me know my fog lights were on backorder. I opened my package and they were missing so I called and they should be in stock in 1-2 wks meaning I should have them shortly after.

I ordered mine June 22nd. I have my highs and lows installed and they look great. My fogs 5202 are STILL backorded. Hopefull you wont have to wait as long as i am to get the fogs

Looking forward to see the pics. How's the beam pattern? did you have to adjust anything or left everything as is? By the way, does the harness kit from DDM comes with the relay or just the wires?

 

[bigblue]

the harness comes with the relay.

 

[derk]

Hey Scotty just so you know they shipped my 5202 kit today. I hope they ship yours soon.

Sorry for the late reply,
the easiest way to do it is to partially remove the inner wheel well and turn the tires all the way to one side. Then you can look right at the back of the housing. Im not really sure how to explain how the lights are held in place, but if you look you can figure it out pretty easy. Considering how hard they make it to get the head lights out, they sure make it easy to swap out the housings.

 

[Scotty]

Derk-Yeah I saw that. I hope they get here before I go back to work. The after photo is kinda crappy. I'll try to get a better one when I get the fogs in.

Erebos-I didnt have to adjust anything. i'd say plug and play but its a ***** getting to the lights. I installed the relay harness. It was only $15 so I figured why not.
