RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

So here's a couple night shots. Apologies in advance for my poor photo skills. It's pretty hard to capture light! Anyways I have the vouke VK-S5 LEDs in my lows. And so far they have been fantastic. And complete plug and play. No problems with fitment. I'm very happy with them. The output is very good and I like the hue of light as well. It looks a little different in person than the photo. Like I said hard to capture. But the output is 100 times better than what my aftermarket halo low beams were putting out. Also adding a shot of the led strips I put into my depos to make my own halos. They look pretty cool. Will take some before and after shots tomorrow when I put the G8s in my high beams.

Probably too stupid to realize they even hit you.

Nice work on getting that blemish gone. And the G8s...going big. Should be nice in those projectors.

I've seen that, someone hit a car and not even notice smh

 

[adventurenali92]

Lights.... ugh... so led plays nice in my drivers side high beam. Not so much in the passenger side. For some reason it's hitting the back of the headlight bracket, which isn't letting my whole headlight assembly go back in correctly. So irritated. Gotta take a dremel tool tomorrow and make an adjustment. Never anything easy.

Had to order new bumper lights. The drivers side DRL bulb melted the back of the housing where the socket fits in and then fried the bulb. They got del Veered today which was cool wasn't expecting them for a few more days. Swapped them out real quick. Spec'D black bumper lights and they came with the bulbs I needed too which was great. Always something to do! lol. New hood got delivered as well today so that's gonna go get painted shortly.

Looks sweet, along with the headlights.

 

[Rocket Man]

Those look good.

I like them alot too. Had black housing bumper lights since I went with the black housing halo lights. This is the second time I've had to replace them unfortunately. The last set the lenses cracked and we're letting water in. If they were more expensive I'd be mad about having to replace them twice. But these are spec'D so I'm hoping they will last a little longer. they were only like 22 bucks so it wasn't that big of a deal.

So SpecD's are garbage?

No the set that came with my halo housings were garbage and the last set I bought were garbage. These ones are spec'D and hoping they are better.

Ok, you had me a little nervous. My lights are also SpecD's

@Tonyrodz specD makes all kinds of stuff, i dont think its quality is too bad, my NNBS headlights are specD. & @Bigbeardenali1992 just a random thought but imo itd look sweet if you colormatched your GMC emblem on the grille.

@kwOH , Ive been thinking about color matching my logo since the thought of color matching my whole grille surround. I am gonna a pick up some paint from the place Fosscore recommended. So I think I will do the surround and logo at the same time. @05Single , I'll get you a pic light up.

Thx @kwOH.
@Red Rocket has done the color matching to his grill, which looks great. I think he might've had some issues tho with the paint sticking to the plastic chrome, I don't remember exactly. Hopefully he'll chime in.

I had a body shop do it. They sanded the shit out of it and used a special primer. So far only a couple tiny chips in the black (center) part that I'll use fingernail paint to touch up. Probably rock chips. He said the sanding was a PIA, glad he is a friend.

Hey guys question not related to lights. Lol. I need to replace my front sticks and I have auto ride, what's the best way to replace them?! Arnott looks like a good way to got but I'd rather stick with stock. Whats the best auto ride replacement shocks and part numbers would be great!

I'm guessing it's front shocks not sticks? Go to Rock Auto for part numbers. I see AC Delco are around $315 each and Monroe's are about $250 each. Ouch. Once again I see why I went with Arnott. Edit: Autoride RPO is Z55 so those are the ones you need.

 

[kwOH]

Time for a drop. Lol

@Red Rocket , yup Z55 is correct. Lol. Gm parts direct wants like $360 a piece for each OEM air/electronic dampening shock. So I think replacing them with passive air shocks with resistors wired in to avoid the service suspension message is the way to go. Simply because I'd like to stick with air shocks. I've heard good things about arnott but don't really wanna go that route because then I have gas shocks in front and air in the back and that doesn't make sense to me really. Do you remember which heavy duty resistors you used with your arnott shocks to keep from getting the message? If so do you have a part number and where you got them from? @kwOH , no drops for me! Lol I bought a big suv for the factor of ground clearance for towing and driving in snow. If I wanted something low I would have gone with a car. Lol
