Thinking about new lighting...

[hapyspaz]

So im thinking about doing new lighting all around...

Here is what I am thinking for the front:

...but I want to use these headlamps w/blue lenses instead

For the rear thinking of going LED with these, nothing fancy

What do you guys think?
And of course all non-led bulbs replaced with LED

Just not to sure I like the full LED parking lights...

That looks very nice and expensive!

I think it will look good!!

I would do the tail lights for sure.

The headlights will more than likely reduce your light output. Corners and parking lights should be fine, I would just reseal them so they wont leak down the road. You get what you pay for.

You think the headlights would reduce light output? They are halogen projectors, if anything, I would think I would get a gain in light output. If I remember when I talked to KB about the headlights before he told me they had H1 bulbs.

 

[haks310]

Yeah, reduced.

Those headlights are designed for looks, not function. I believe it uses a DEPO "projector" which aren't that bad. You might get a concentrated beam if anything but output will be reduced. Neighbor's brothers has something similar on his 'Burban, actually I think they are the same, just different color.

i like the taillights and parking lamps. the headlights are a no go for me, but i do like the black housing. im guessing either on drl or low beam that ugly blue led will be on. thats a fail, i would go with regular crystal housing headlights because you'll need the light

IMO dont get those projectors. The dude with the red lifted 2 door tahoe had them and hated them.

These are clear, but perodicly come on ebay in black. And are much better quality. And they use 9006 and 9005 bulbs. Which is always good as they are DOT and if they get DOT stamped with 900 series bulbs it means they are a better projector usually (but I have seen these in action and their wonderful)

Those are not even real projectors. Avoid at all costs, They look cool, but wont give you the projector beam throw off, Just the look.

 

[haks310]

Yeah, avoid all those "projector" headlights.

I would just go with TYC headlights and parking lights and call it a day.

Your tail lights are a great choice.

I'd rethink your front end lighting choice. Haks has given you some good advice, avoid any eBay projector at all costs! Their lighting output is pure crap. Even if you use HID bulbs, they do not spread light evenly, and often have a narrow projection path.

I just upgraded my front end lighting. If you want a set of headlights that are going to last, get real GLASS headlights like I did. These eBay headlights tend to haze up after a few years, glass wont. I purchased the clear glass housings, using the traditional 9006/5 bulbs and they are great.

Your bumper lights look cool, but if you want the bulbs to seem brighter get a smoked or black housing that has a reflective backing behind the bulb. If you get a housing that is completely black with out a reflective portion, your bulbs will seem dimmer.
