Headlights look awful.

[Tractoman]

My oem headlights are really foggy and get condensation build up inside.
What are the realistic options to repair or replace them. The stock light is fine for me. Rather keep everything stock or plug n play.
It’s a 2009 Yukon Xl SLT.
Thanks.

I ponied up and bought new OE ones. My kids, who like everything LED, say my new lenses and bulbs are much brighter than they used to be now that everything is new.



The numbers on the right were the current, the others original. They come with all bulbs. Paid over $550 for both, they are a bit less right now.

Where’d you purchase yours?

Where’d you purchase yours?

They were purchased from two different vendors on Ebay, one is a GM dealership, the other an online retail store. PartsCenterPlus, spent many thousands with them over the years!

Yeah, but you don't get the GMC logo inside the lenses! LOL

Fog inside, if it’s condensation usually means a leaky or cracked housing.

I recently used a 3M headlight sanding kit on mine and they look pretty good. Not new, but hugely better than they were. That’ll only cure external weathering.

Got a year extra after doing that to the Yukon and Kia.
