Newer Yukon hid questions???

[Tcwhite]

Alright. I saw a nice 07 suburban last night with a 5000k hid kit. Damn it looked good. I on the other hand gave a 07 Yukon. They said they bought there kit off of eBay and the company started with a z. I checked eBay last night and found a listing for some by zagg, I think. Anyways I checked our forums and found ddm. I know the yukons are bi-xenon. They said that they have had there kit for a year now with no problems. Which kit do you guys roll with. I love the 5000k output. I've had Acura in the past and really miss the hids. The ddm kit runs 60 and thts with the bi-xenon. The zagg kit on eBay runs 88.00.

Alot of guys on here have the ddm kits. I dont have them on my Tahoe but I've heard some good things about them. Make sure you get a relay when you order your HID's so you dont have any problems later on.

I don't have DDM's and I got mine off eBay, couldn't be happier.

Yeah I just called a local custom shop here and they said they had some for mine. He suggested going with the single hid and not the bi. He said they had the kits for $95. Not too bad. I forgot to ask him what brand they were but I have to call him Monday anyways to verify the price and when he can get the kit. He said they may have to disable the drl which is not a problem with me anyways. I loved the look of the 5000k I saw last night.

Does anyone every just replace the bulb or is this a no no? Please excuse my newbness.

if you have a ballast already then you can replace the bulb

If you a re talking about just putting an HID bulb in to replace a stock one with no ballast then ya thats a NO NO. IMO it looks bad.

 

[Punisher66]

That is what I figured, but wanted to make sure. You can also buy just better headlight bulbs from Autozone or Advanced auto, anyone have any experiance with those?

 

[UofMZ71]

might as well spend the extra $20 and get HIDs...

 

[Punisher66]

Any recommendations on who to buy them from and what brand?

The ddm hi-low systems come with the harness already

I was just looking on the DDM website and it really doesn't specify what we need for our trucks. I have an 07 Tahoe. Can anyone tell me the bulb type?

I just bought my hid replacement bulbs from vvme.com for around 27 includes s/h hope it helps

ok in the first post you said you have an 07 Yukon and now you say,

I have an 07 Tahoe.

Makes a big difference

Go with DDM, lifetime warranty
Tahoe - H11 bulb, it will not come with a harness
Yukon - H13 bulb (dual fillament) - might come with harness

Fogs - 5202, but be warned there may be melting

I am assuming this is a high low system for one headlight, again, forgive the newbness.

I am also guessing that this is the harness you speak of.

ok i called the local custom shop yesterday. The kit was $95 and would take a week to come in. Labor runs between $60-100 depending on what they have to remove. Is this something I could do myself and save money?
