Projector and HID's

[chef choy]

OK, I have been reading the sticky and have decided that I want HID's and projectors. Problem is I am not really great working on stuff and I think I would screw up doing a retrofit. I would like to purchase a ;set of projector headlights, but as the sticky said, all the ebay ones are junk. I like the looks of these and like that I can get a matching headlight/signal light......

however, I know they are probably junk. The sticky did say something about Depo's. Does anyone have any personal experience with them (running them stock)? would that be this set that I found?

Thanks for your input!

Anything on eBay pre-made with a projectors sucks.

Need to do a proper retrofit. Imo

I'm the type that can't put together a snap together model.i know if I tried, they would either not work, look like shit, not seal, o something. I would like a good quality plug and play headlight. The sticky said that the Depo's people have had luck.......

Well you can always half ass it with the Depo projectors off of ebay. They're obviously not on par with retrofitted OEM projectors but they happen to project a pretty decent output with an acceptable cutoff.

I'm not sure what model they are specifically but I'm sure some of the NBS folks will know to tell you. Also, if I'm not mistaken they're pretty easy to take apart and retrofit if you ever feel like taking that on, but again double check this with the NBS nerds cause they'll know.

I just did this with my eBay projectors, heat gun opens them up easily. Swapped in a set of mini h1 projectors and they are way better than the projectors that came with the headlights. But it does take some work and some fab skills. There's people that you can pay to do it though.

 

[chef choy]

I contacted a dude on gmfullsize, he has yet to email me back.

 

[YukonXL04]

I think there are some guys on here that do it as well

Any idea who????

Not right off hand, I think in the hid thread there are people talking about who they had do theirs.

Not thread jacking but I have projectors off of eBay with H1 hid and I've decided they suck. Ha. I gotta do something soon. Yukonxl04 what head did you have any info/links thread build? Thanks.
Chef i didn't notice do you have a yukon? Did you think of looking into stock denali headlights they are projectors from the factory?

Thanks for the link. I've seen that before but thats depo style aftermarket head light which is just like the stock headlight housing. My aftermarkets are sealed and not open in the back so i was just wondering how yukonxl04 did it or which headlight housing he had.
After looking and reading looks like I'm gonna try to swap these in my headlights when i get a little extra cash

If all goes well prob install a set in my fogs as well.

basically cut the back of the housing and then mold it in there.

I'd go with those projectors as well. Good simple projector.

Brian, I know you have yukon, but could always go custom projectors and pay someone else for the install. Not that badly priced.

Did you ever create a build process for those quad retrofits? I'd love to see how you put them together for my own retrofit someday.

I am trying to get Denali oem's, just trying to get them south of 275. I like the smoked look, and figuring that by the time I get the oem's, have them smoked, do the retrofit, and get HID's I'm going to have over 500 in some headlights......ouch! I also have a 08 Lexus and when I get I the kon, I realize how spoiled I am with the headlights.

Trust me once you get projectors, (real ones) in the oem denali's you will love it much better. You will actually be able to see in front of you and not just a scattered light. You can retro in them as well pretty easy.

(did you get the led lights yet?)
