Since the topic is hid woes I figured I'd ask this here: How do I connect these, I haven't worked with this type of connector before: (hope y'all dont mind)

A buddy of mine has 35w 10k hid's and they are not too blue. Since yours are going to be 55w it will wash out the blue color a decent amount. I would worry more about the brightness getting you in trouble before I would worry about the color doing it. I had a guy behind me the other day with what could only have been some 55w's, had to move my mirrors so I could see.

I didn't order any yet...I went out last weekend. I was whipping an 09 Murano...its hers not mine. She has projectors. On the way home I kept flickering from headlight to hugh beams while getting road head. Amazed at the visibility. What i think I might do is...order HIDS for my fogs and install them. Then take my headlights off and apart and rock my Fogs till i finish the project. Hard to do shit like this with work, social life and family obligations. First I have to find a pull yard that will let me walk around and find a car with projectors in it.

Because those headlights are designed to run HIDs...ours are not.



FF, there are places who will retrofit quality projectors into your headlights or you can look online for TSX or S2000 projectors and do it yourself. Those two are about the best projectors out there, S2000 being better than the TSXs.

I'll do a write-up if someone can confirm that I need some female connectors to wire up my lights :)

This sale model is specific for installation into vehicles that take H1* or H7 bulbs


From what I have read those aren't bad for the price and can hang with OEM projectors.

Does the Denali already have projectors in it?

I NEED HELP!

I don't wanna "Tyrone" the install. I just got off th phone and actualy went to the local Cadillac dealership. They want to sell me whole package for $1,500! If any of you guys have access to ALLDATA or a Chilton's manual I need you guys to look at the wiring diagram for the Harness that plugs into the FOG LIGHT switch. Then from there I can custom wire them in myself!

SOONER THE BETTER!

I tried installing these earlier this week I can't seem to get them to fit in the projector fog housing. Let me know if you get it to work roadrageror
