Use a Relay or risk burning your vehicle down.

If I was some joe with you behind me with those lights blasting in my eyes via mirrors. I would follow you home and beat the shit out of you, Then smash every light on your vehicle.

Good luck with that one. If by chance you followed me home, you'd be staring down the barrel of my sidekick AND if you were lucky enough to dodge what he spits out, you still couldn't beat the shit out of me. Long story short... you just wasted gas for nothing and risked your life. BUT, that is if you were some joe.

^^^ I'm with you. ^^^^

yea, thats if I was some joe..


Either way, its kinda a dick move to purposely aim headlights like that.

It wasn't done purposely at first. Before I lifted my tahoe they were just right. It was just by chance thats where they aim now. If I lift it 3 more inches they'll aim even higher

Mine are aimed right at the bottom of cars mirrors. When I catch someone with their brights on or those led bars I just flick my high quads on. Mine out shine a 50" bar easily. But I'm respectful and don't intentionally blind other drivers.

That's when you readjust them...

eeh, I have mine below all but the lowest cars mirrors and when I see them hitting mirrors, i fall back abit to not blind ppl.
It sucks, simply due to the short throw they produce being so low (aprox 35 yards or so), but If i need more. I fire up the projector fogs.
Their cut off is 3' from the ground at 75 yards. They have excellent throw.

I hate being blinded by modern lights and give other ppl the same respect..

 

[01TX_Tahoe]

Mine only hit the mirrors if I'm right on somebody's rear. If I'm behind a car or two their fine.

Thinking this grille now with a 30" amber/white bar behind it, nice and clean and harder to steal.

That will look awesome. Love the grill. You might consider getting a double row 30" bar. If you want, (I've seen it on a few radical prerunners in SoCal) you can buy amber covers that clip on to the bar. You don't have to pay extra for amber LEDs, you can pattern the white/amber however you like across the bar, and if you decide you don't want it anymore, you can just unclip the covers.

The bad part is you can't clean it easily. That was my plan till I saw it mounted at the bottom of the valance. Here is my grille.

I have the exact same plan! You know, if I ever get the bumper painted and installed....

Right......... DAMMIT, well then maybe I will pull out the old billet insert and do something custom. Now I am thinking cut out the gmc area 20" long and that height is 3.25" and the double row is 3.22" slid that sucker right in there? what you guys think, go for it?

Light it up. Don't pull the billett yet. If the light bar is too dim behind the billett, spring for a new grill. I really like the black mesh grills they make for Yukon's. Go for a 30" double array. I run a 20" behind a stock tahoe grill on my Tahoe and I wish I went for a 30" double array

Not a bad plan. Would be like one of the newer style grilles they make for silverados.

That isn't what I meant, ill cut out the centre area of the billet grille were the gmc logo is and widen it for the led bar to lay flat with the billet grille and paint the grille black, its been sitting in my shop since i bought the yukon so I dont feel bad chopping it up.

 

[SRTH8R]

Update?

 

[2003denali26]

Soon, I am picking up the led bar tomorrow from my buddy that ordered one in awhile ago, I want to start chopping as soon as possible haha, the billet grille is back on and painted black just waiting till tomorrow to trim and then weld some brackets once I have the led bar in hand for proper size comparison as I dont trust eBay sizes that much ahah. I will Update ASAP

And I got all my lights installed over the weekend. Went to go drive around and test them out last night, only to have the truck not start... I've been dealing with it not starting intermittently forever, and I'm going to try to replace the crank position sensor this afternoon to see if that's the problem.

When I get that sorted out, I need to clean up my wiring and paint my brackets and it'll be all done.
