GMC YUKON (07-14): XB HYBRID LED HEADLIGHTS-unboxing/output

[Doubeleive]

I wish mine would have the LED C bar as the DRL instead of the projector low beam. They only come on with the parking and parking/headlights

you might have to play with the wiring, I was confused at first on how these work but figured out it's just voltage, I could make these work different but I would have to either cut or patch into the harness and there so new I want to let them be for a while and make sure there not going to go funky on me start flickering or something because then I couldn't return them.
I'm putting some faith into these as it is if they fail on me on a road trip or something i'm screwed because there is no bulb to replace

They look great!! Definitely gotta swap mine over to them!

im sure with some wiring tweaks you can make that happen.

expensive, they are around $850+tax at a couple places online, my final cost after a couple discounts was $775 from Summit on my business account

Yikes!!! I'll just look at yours and call it a day.

i really do want to like these. i think the price is fair, the 2015+ style bar around them isnt bad. on at night i think they look good and light output appears to be pretty good too.
how is the quality of the housing/lens? look likea good (factory) seal between them? curious to see if they fog up after a few months etc.
i dont like the black housing on them though - not for mine if i had more stuff blacked out they would look more at home. a chrome or grey/polished housing i would probably get them.

they appear to be sealed up well I really didn't look that close at the seams previous to install reason being I have there xb tail lights on the Silverado for about a year now and have had no issue's, the housing is sturdy I don't care for the "smoked" look and prefer a clear lens but beggars can't be chooser's lol, it's been raining pretty much non-stop since I installed them and it's going to clear up today thru Tuesday so if anything is going to show up right away I will know soon. there was note in the box about it and it says' if there is any fogging after install it should go away in 2-3 days

Thanks for sharing this!

That is a great deal. Then don’t buy a GM vehicle with factory HID lights. Those assemblies are $1k EACH. The LED Platinum headlights are $2k each.

I wanted to like these but I think think they’d look better with a chrome housing because they’d look more factory.

ya the factory HID's on the Silverado are $1k each used price

Any additional pics Wes? How are you liking them after having them on for awhile now? Still happy with the results in comparison against your previous HID setup?

I like them, no problems with them thus far they are working properly, comparing them to my previous HID's they are not as bright but using HID's in the stock housing creates a different light pattern which is kind a glob of light which was fine for me, these LED make a more focused pattern, combined with the upgraded SS3 fog lights it's very nice mix
I will try to get some more pictures with my other camera and post them up in the next day or so.

Cross country trip (literally puget sound to coast of maine) with plenty of night driving and a variety of types and quality of interstate lighting: Would you choose these or your previous alternative to the stock lights (presuming those were a retrofit package)? Thanks and thanks to Serge and rest of the forum for guidance on what not to do / buy to try to improve the stock lighting.

well I have only had them for 3 weeks and thus far no problems with reliability they have operated properly, so presuming they continue to operate well I would use them.

I missed this Wes, looks good bro.

@Doubeleive I’m strongly considering buying these Morimotos for my 2014 Yukon XL. Are you happy with them a year later?

they still work great
the only thing I can note is if I turn on my foglights and the headlights are on auto during daylight I will get a little flicker, but i also have a fog light on with high beam module installed and I think it is simply a voltage issue because the DRL's run on lower than 12v and I think turning my high power fog lights with drl's on only taxes it, with headlights switched on with the switch or after the sun has set there is no issue
my fog lights are the diode dynamics ss3 max on the factory harness, if I added a relay the flicker would probably go away

Why not install OEM Denali projector headlamps. They’re a drop in.

Man I wish someone would make nice stuff like this for NBS, those look awesome!

part number?

 

[Geoffsfas10]

he has the NBS post quoted...makes much more sense.

However a stock NBS denali projector SUCKS bad. gotta retrofit them to make them good.
