After my wife followed me home last night in her 2012 Acura TL that was funny enough emitting more light AHEAD of me than my Yukon...I admitted defeat and decided it's time to upgrade across the board.

I'm sure there's been more threads started than one can count for Yukon Denali lighting, but everyone has seemed to go a different direction for LED/HID fog lamps, high beams, etc. I just don't want to buy the wrong ones. I'm rather stumped how GMC put out a less than stellar lighting combination on such a late model vehicle?

I'm looking for the BRIGHTEST option possible for:

fog lamps, daytime running lights, and high beams. I'll take recommendations on tail lights/license plate frames too! Happy to buy from any forum sponsors as well or amazon referral links, etc. Don't go too ******* me...I'm new here :)

So, for starters (and the cost of a diode or LED), go with the fog light mod. This keeps the fogs on even with your brights on.

This would be done using the diode between pins on the BCM under the dash?

maybe do a retro-fit and buy the lens used by acura/audi? If you ever look at early 2000 model audi's (like the audi TT) and Acura TL/TSX from ~8 years ago, the cut off was very sharp, and the lights were very bright. That's because they used a VERY high quality glass projector. It wasn't unusual to find people in the tuner world to retrofit projectors in other cars.

I did a mod without diodes that keeps the LED fogs on while the ignition is on. No diodes, just a fused jumper in the box under the hood. Also, the auto dim feature still works with fogs if you have it.

I already have the DRL's, which are good enough for me but, report up. Or is there already a thread out there for it, for those that want to do it?

I will add some pics in a bit. I looked in my media file and didn’t see them.

I too am looking to upgrade my fog lights and head lights. There's a lot of threads on this, but I can get a "deer in headlights" look when it comes time to buy them as there are quite a few options. Direct feedback on specific 2017 fog lights and head lights options would be GREATLY appreciated.

This is what I bought from Amazon to upgrade my fog lights on my 2016 Tahoe. These are very bright and were plug and play,

I purchased the same fog lights...took a while at first because for some reason when i did the vehicle search it was using another part number that was not even close. The PSX26 is the right one, but they are extremely bright...people flash me all the time if I run them around town.
I did also purchase the low beam headlight LED Bulbs with integrated fans that does in fact fit inside the housing with the covers, and LED Hi Beam bulbs as well. Also did the reverse lights and license plate lights, all were ordered from Amazon. Don't buy the least expensive, and you don't have to buy the most expensive, just see the star rating and application details on the ones listed and you will get what you pay for. At some point I need to find a LED fog that is not so bright, but for now when I need them they really do light up the area when you need them.

I replaced my fog lights with the ones in the link above and it was about a 10 minute job. I have really big hands but could still get the fog lights on and off without having to remove anything. Big difference even in the daylight. Can't wait to try em at night.

Here at vanquish auto we provide the best selection for Leds and hids. We have one of the best led/hid kits available for your vehicle. We recommend our led kits for high beams and fog lights and our hid kit for low beams. They will all match in color because our Leds are rated 5500-6000 same as the hids to get the best light output and brightness. Please check the site for all products you are looking for www.vanquishauto.com and here as well for the best reviews from real buyers about our kits! Thanks

Please guys, don't be "That Guy" where you're getting flashed all the time because you're blinding people. Don't just slap on some generic led bulbs or HID capsules just because they claim they're brighter. Make sure you keep a "cut-off" line.
