Subscribed. Coming from my German vehicles, these headlights leave SOOOO much to be desired, it's not even funny. I feel the fog lights put out better light than the headlights. Hoping you get this up and running soon.
Thank you. I will write as news emerges. So far, custom modules have been ordered from production in China. We are waiting for them to be made and delivered when we try to install them in the headlight.

Hello everyone who follows our work. A prototype for the head light with a rectangular lens has been made. And the mask is printed. Theoretically, the GMC Yukon headlight can accommodate 3 Bi-Led modules. But, the consumption of one module is 42W, three modules at once, taking into account the drawdown, will consume about 100W. Immediately problems arise as to whether the Headlight's wiring will withstand the removal of a huge amount of heat. The generator will most likely hold up, because at night I drive with a 360W LED high beam beam, and the voltage does not drop.


At the same time, the consumption of standard low beam is 30-35W.
We are currently thinking about two options. Option 1. This is the installation of one Bi-Led module instead of the upper sector of the low beam headlight. Thus we get 1 new Bi-Led, 1 standard low beam, 1 standard high beam. Theoretically, such a set will be quite enough to clearly improve the standard light. Option 2. This is the installation of two Bi-Led modules instead of the upper two low beam sectors, and leave 1 standard high beam. With this option, the light will be very good, but the headlight’s electricity consumption will already double. And that includes creating heat.

Hello everyone who is following the project. The frame production process is currently underway. So far everything seems to be working out as it should. All modules fit into the headlight. We are still considering two options. These are two low beam modules. And one is purely distant. Then you will be able to maintain the appearance of the standard light. Or instead of one high beam module, two square high beam modules. Everything will depend on what and how it fits in the headlight.
Among the visual differences from standard headlights, the module caps will have to be removed. They greatly distort and cut off the light. But thanks to the rectangular modules, we hope it will be possible to preserve the appearance of the standard headlights.
