Denali D3S 5500k and Led hi beam and fog lights. A lot of pics inside

[ajs800]

I understand the updgrades with fogs and hi beams but what are you gaining switching out the low beam with 5500k outside of color temp? Doesn't the new D3s replacement technically provide less usable light when comparing oem 4300k bulbs?

Nop the GM osram are very much more less brighter

Not sure what you mean by GM much less brighter? The 5500k matches LED lights but I don't see how it provides more usable light compared to the oem osram 4300k.

Reason why i switch from OEM 4300/4600 to 5500k is to better match led runing lights. I just dont like yellow. And its not like you gonna lose tons of light, 3400 lm in 5500k vs 3500 lm in 4300k

I totally get it...I just didn't understand Soulraper stating that they are much brighter and huge upgrade when they technically don't provide anymore light (actually slightly less usable compared to stock bulbs.) The color match does look good...thanks for all the detailed pics.

I think we lost some understanding in english grammar. My engrish is bad, his maybe slightly worst than mine

Figured it out!

What's the easiest way to access the highbeam bulb, from above the engine compartment or underneath from the wheelwells?

Engine compartment. They're the caps right below the headlights. Have to take out the intake box on passenger side by disconnecting MAF sensor and one screw connecting tube to box (metal ring tensioner)

excellent write up and review. Has anyone done this to a Tahoe or Suburban? Just from the looks I can see that its different from the Tahoe and I have only seen post on Yukons and Eskys.

Its the same process except you are using a different bulb if you do not have factory HID's.

I only wish GM made running lights more whiter on these Yukons. It will be better match for led fogs and 5.5-6k HID lows

Update on TRS Morimoto 2stroke Led kit. And this was on my semi truck on low beams and they are H11s. After 6 months and about 90k miles and around 1200 hrs, Leds started to fail, one side on both. But this was on semi and using them 8 hrs a day and all damn patholes around USA and wires started to break right behind Led housing. So in car they will last lifetime since I or anyone use lights as much j used on my semi. And on my Hi beam set up it will last 10 lifetimes. TRS have nice warranty, you can send them pics of destroyed Led and they will send you replacement same day or you can setup and pay for new led anf once you destroy yours, they will refund you money same day. Make sure you use good hammer because housing on these 2strome Leds are tough and cut wires so they see its not usable no more

Here is some pics how looks like when one of two led doesnt work in projector housing and pics of destroyed Leds and driver ready replacenent

I just bought a Yukon SLT and did not come with the HID stock headlamps. I am new to aftermarket lighting and I wanted to see if any of you could provide me with some help.

I am looking to convert my headlamps and my fogs to LED/HID. Wondering which bulb/product I should use?

I would LOVE to have them match identically so it looks like a stock HID/LED setup. Any help? Links to products?

Thanks!!

Swapped Xenon Depot PSW26W 6000k for Morimoto XB sealed LED foglights and 5202 to PSW26W adapter harness. Yes Xenon Depot were brighter but Morimoto looks nice with black housing and its just foglight , not low beam

Before and after
