Me too.

The pics I have are terrible from a cell phone and the retro is unfinished.

I have been promised good pics tomorrow and of course I'll take a bunch on Thursday when he's here putting them on the truck.

These are the ones I used: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/HeadLights/Chevy/Tahoe/1ALHP00559/349278/2009

They're out of stock but you can find them through many vendors.

Yeah I found some nice ones on ebay (left one for now) I'll keep my eye out for right ones. Been toying with the idea of doing the retrofit. I think i'll follow through with it, may be pm'ing you questions along the way

Sure, ask away.

Just a little heads up btw ... you don't want to be buying oem headlamps for a retrofit.
The reason we use aftermarket clones is that they can easily be opened ... the oem ones are all but impossible with the permaseal stuff they put on them.

They're all over ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-09-Tahoe...oe&vxp=mtr&hash=item2a16b2d333#ht_3666wt_1012

You can find them slightly cheaper if you dig deep enough.

Also member sumo bought a set, maybe you can send him a pm asking him where.

Man I hadn't seen the new turn signals and running lights!!! That is some nice work!!

 

[soulsea]

Thanks mike ...

Actually, the lower outer projector is fitted with a turn signal and drl switchback led inside, and the inner lower projector is installed upside down with a halogen bulb just as flash to pass high beam.

The two upper hid projectors are quads with an option switch to duals.
