Nice job Lee, final result came out awesome. It's hard for me to look at stock Tahoe headlights after I've grown accustomed to how OEM a retrofit looks. Amber DRLs are a Avy thing though lol but then again I don't even run DRLs anymore cause I did the quad parking/turn. Enjoy your retrofit brother.

If the bulb flickers n dies it's the bulb. If it just don't come on. It the ballast. I'll send you some new ballasts. What u got to trade?

Update on this after owning them for a while.

Still love them overall..... however the Chinky Morimoto Ballasts suck a**. These were replacements by the way.

Almost makes it better to go with a D2S so you can run OEM parts instead of Chinese stuff (or wherever they are made, to me if its not made here its automatically Chinese. :shrug:).

I think both of mine are now almost shot. I have to cycle the switch to get them to fire.

Sometimes both fire perfect.... sometimes the left one goes out..... sometimes the right one.

I plan on ordering new ballasts soon, and may also order 4500K bulbs this time.

If I had to do all over again I would NOT get the 5000K bulbs.

The light is a nice pure white, however it "dissipates" more.

Hard to explain but its like the light is disappearing when it gets far out.

I would get 4300K or 4500K as its slightly yellow and offers more lumens.

Consider 6 k. The yellower you get the more the light fades into the roads colors.
