On my old 01 Tahoe I had Xenarcs HID's installed and it was always my favorite mod I did and the most practical. When I purchased my "new" 11 Tahoe I imedately missed the HID performance and went in search of a retrofit. I stumbled across a blacked out retrofit on here designed by B.G. and contacted him about building me a pair. After numerous PMs and emails to answer questions and advise I decided I would have him build me a set. I asked for an OEM look and went with 4300K bulbs to give me the most light possible. He estimated a 6-8 week build time. Placed order on 8/28 and were shipped 10/16 so exactly 7 weeks build time. He sent numerous emails updates which were greatly appreciated. I'm sure he will chime in with a better list of what he used.
Headlights arrived perfectly and were installed this weekend, simple plug and play just have to lower/remove bumper. They look great and have been aimed properly by him prior to shipment. I could not be happier with the lights, the craftsmanship and with B.G. for his work. If you are looking at getting HID's send him a PM and he may be able to help you.

tl;dr.. ordered HID's retrofits, extremely happy.

If anyone is wondering about the light of 4300K in these projectors I can say that the light is pure white. The very bottom of the light has a yellow tint as you can see in the pic, but it is much less yellow in real life then the pic shows. The very top of the beam has a blue color due to the lens of the projector. That being said 98% of the light is bright pure white light that covers the road fully.

Very nice! Id love to do it, not sure if I can stomach the cost just yet:p
Only good way to do install HIDs though, drop ins are SOOOOooooo annoying around here with everyone running purple HIDs(10k-12k+) on high all day/night.

Just placed my order with BG. Hope it all goes well and that his retrofit units are as reliable as oem for the long term. Didn't really have time to ask the forum about how BG's work stacks up to black flame and the retrofit source. I am very picky about quality.

Thank you!
