Denali foglight options

[BillBlatt18]

Hey guys, need some opinions here. I have had HIDs in my foglights for a bout 4 years and they have melted lens. It was a point where it didnt bother me muhch, but more recently it has become something that needs to be fixed. The passenger side has cracked and water is getting in. I need opinions on what to do. Here is what i have found:

What mine look like:

OEM: (which will eventually do the same thing and melt)

Ebay projectors: (wouldn't wire up the gay halos, but worried the projetor pattern would suck)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-06-YUKON...li&hash=item19d420110d&vxp=mtr#ht_3532wt_1271

Blinglights: (glass lens) (Hard to mount mounting system from what i have read)

I guess my fourth otion is to get OEMs and put in LEDs but I really love the functionality of my 3k HIDs in bad weather and dont want to give that up. Suggestions welcomed. Thanks

I'm about to order another set of oem fogs, **** aftermarket lights

 

[BillBlatt18]

That's what I was leaning towards but I don't want to have to replace them again down the road. Mine have looked like shit for years just never did anything about it

Just keep buying oem, I don't think there is anything better. I'm about to install some stock tails or something close so I stop being harassed. Denali is the top of professional grade son, our trucks deserve better than that cheap ass ebay halo shit.

 

[BillBlatt18]

Haha. Yeah, it seems like the way to go, but just exploring my options. I wish there was like a way to recess the bulb further back or get a different bulb that wouldn't melt the housings

I'd stick with the OEM. Haven't had any issues with my housings(yet). I've only been running them for just under a year. I was thinking about changing color to 3000K because after I got my retro back my new lights don't match the fogs...... How do you like the yellow color for inclement weather(fog,snow,rain,etc.) ?

And please no halos

 

[BillBlatt18]

Thanks for the input man. To answer your question, I love the 3k fogs. I had 6k before them, but like you my lows dont match anymore so I switched. They make such a difference in snow and are awesome in the winter. In rain, not so much, but in fog still help more than the 6k did. And they are bright enough that they can still be used as driving lights without low beam, although I always drive with my low beams anyway. lol. Hope this helps

Yes it helps and makes sense too.

check out hid planet forums, there was someone selling ford fusion foglights "yes ford lol" that are adjustable and have a beam and cutoff like the morimoto mini h1's. i may get some for my denali

 

[BillBlatt18]

Awesome thanks man I'll definitely look into that. You have a link?

Any info on the led fogs you were talking about? A link to them? I def wouldn't get the halos like everyone else says. Lol.

 

[yukondenali]

Oem

They make LED housing one sold on eBay. What I was referring to was buying oem housings and putting LED bulbs in them

 

[AR2007denali]

Yea, I was wondering where u get them from? How is the light output with the LEDs?

 

[BillBlatt18]

You can get them on eBay but I would probably go with v-LEDs.com for quality bulbs. The output isn't great mostly just to light up the housing no real light output

I think I have decided to get oem housings and I heard completely forgot about 25watt ballasts. I think I buy those I won't had to worry about melting. Can someone direct as to where I can buy just the ballasts?

I had LED fog's in my 08 tahoe and it looked sick, but virtually had no light output. I now currently have HID's in my fog's in the Esky and one of them went out (i'm guessing a bad ballast)... Basically something will alwayssss go wrong regardless of the route you go. Personally, I'd go with OEM and try to get some 25W Ballasts instead to reduce the amount of heat. Then if you really want to get nuts, go to The Retrofit Source and buy some projectors and retrofit them into the OEM fogs

 

[BillBlatt18]

Yeah that seems like the best way. I'd ask where you got your 25watts but you said one died already haha
