I end up ordering this set from a local guy here in NY. He is on ebay. Pretty good price. Will keep you update with result.
I'm doing High Beams, Low Beams and Fog Light.

Angel, are these the ones you ordered?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/80W-8000LM-Cree-LED-headlight-Kit-H13-9008-Hi-Low-beams-White-6000K-bulbs-Pair/262031203954?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIC.MBE&ao=2&asc=38530&meid=218dec4fd99c40b18eda805d98db58e8&pid=100005&rk=3&rkt=6&sd=191878642670

The only ones that did not fit were the H16. The rest is fine and is enough power/lighting even if is 30 watts like one member mentioned and I drove in some boondocks out in Easter long island... I'm very happy with the product. 2 months and counting

This was my order

still no issues?? Can you really hear the fans running? When researching leds as headlight bulb swap, i have read many times not to waste your money with leds with fans...they will soon fail and overheat. Additionally, aftermarket leds don't compare to the distance and direct light that halogen/hid provide in projectors for low beams. I guess that's why new cars with oem LED headlights have multiple projectors.

I know it's more work, but I think I'm going to stick with orig HID setup using oem type ballast and philips 4300k bulbs.

No issues here and lighting is great. Good luck with your install.

Went with the LEDs AngelXL recommended. I put the fogs in first and drove with them and the stock halogen for a while. I'm not sure I would go with a brighter fog, sort of just splashes light everywhere. Got flashed a couple times. Great as DRLs tho.

After I added the headlights I got a text from GM with a warning about multiple lights out. Nothing on the dash. Light output is a bit better than stock, color temp obviously bluer. I would say maybe 10-20% more light. But looks great from the front, with the lows and fogs matching the LED strips.

Below are pics with one headlight installed for comparison. Then all lights.

Will let you guys know if I have any issues.

I just got a 2016 SLT, I'm looking to upgrade the headlamps and fogs to match the rest of the LEDs, but I'm a bit concerned. I know what the output of a LED flashlight looks like compared to the old style halogens. Do these headlights throw the light well enough that you aren't sacrificing visual distance at night?

I was going to go with LEDs for low beams but I just don't trust them for my low beams so I'm going to go with Vanquish Autos HID for low beam and their LED for high beams I think. I love the 80 watt LED fogs and they make a HUGE difference

I considered LED for low beams but didn't care for light pattern and lack of distance and stuck with HID with Phillips bulb setup.

I'm currently running the H11 rebased 85211 philips bulbs (4300k) from Xenon Depot. I removed the kit from our previous vehicle and recently installed it in our Yukon. I know it's not 100% oem, but it's considerably better and looks about as OEM as it gets. I am considering going with a retrofit setup using oem ballast and reworked headlights to accept a D2S bulb like the denali, but I honestly don't think there's much room for improvement compared to what I currently have and it's espically not worth the hassle and additional cost for what would be gained. You will not be disappointed with the XD setup with philips 4300k bulbs.

Before re installing the XD kit, I quickly tried a set of LED and they looked good but, IMO, the output on road doesn't compare to the HID setup (with 85211 bulbs.)

Here is a link to another user (Prormk) that installed a similar setup...he used oem ballasts from Retrofitsource with XD re-based philips bulbs rather than XD's full kit.

I just finished installing these LED bulbs to replace my low beam headlights (H11): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J6YGGZ8/

Reviews were good, they come with a 2-year warranty, and the price point made it an easy decision to at least try something new. The photos are horrible, but I wanted to post something now until I have time tomorrow to take some daytime shots. The color is slightly bluer than the LED headlights on our 2017 Escalade, and they don't quite match the LED DRL surrounds on the Yukon. But it's close enough (I'm being a little OCD about it). Brightness and distance appear to be great, but I should have left one stocker in to compare. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow night.

Anyway a couple of the photos make these look like those annoying ultra bright and illegal blue xenons, but in person these LEDs don't look like they'll piss people off as you come up behind them or for oncoming traffic. The light color and brightness are very clean.

I purposely took a few of the photos with a higher f-number to reduce the brightness to show the real color, which looks fairly accurate on those photos.

Thanks for posting this. I am looking to upgrade the lights on a 2105 Yukon. I have a couple of questions. Is the installation just plug and play or do I need to buy other things besides what's in the link you provided? Are you going to do anything to upgrade the fog lights? It's my first time on this forum so I apologize if you have already answered these questions. Thanks again.

 

[dudesweet]

These are plug & play. No need to buy anything else. Checking out high beam and fog light options now.

Here you go @BrianT
Here is the how to on the passenger side. Everyone know the driver's side is super easy. The passenger if you have the right tools. It should take you like 15 minutes.
The ones that I order fit perfectly with any mods on the cover.
Been rocking them seen October.
