I replaced some bulbs in the window switches and other pieces last week and didn’t have pics so here they are. I had to replace one again tonight, not sure why but it burned out and melted the diffuser at the same time. It’s tedious as hell. Not recommended in 99-02. I hear the 03-06’s are better, it’s a different design.

mwilson.... Where did you get your headlights from? Do they work well?? ( are they 'sort of' plug -n-play?)
........ and I hope you removed your beer can from the battery before you closed the hood

Got the headlights off Amazon. Says Brock, but box came labeled Eagle Eyes. They seem to be good quality. Once adjusted the light output is great. Nice cutoff line. No water leakage/condensation. You use 9005 bulbs for both high and low beams. Low has included pigtail to connect to existing vehicle harness, so yes basically plug and play.

Didn’t like the rear sag when I loaded the XL this week, so swapped these new springs for heavy duty version. Gained about 1.5 inches, but should settle back down a little.

( rear sagging after loading).....
Hmmm..... I loaded my '05 Yukon XL to the gills about 6 months ago. It only lowered 1 1/2" inches.
( I believe the top of fender skirt was 37.5 inches, then loaded, to 36 inches.)
Something like that...

Good to know. Thanks. The issue was with the normal duty springs I was just over 36” not loaded. now I’m up at about 37.5. What shocks/springs do you have on the rear? Previous owner just put KYB Gas-adjust shocks on it before I bought it. Not sure if it had Nivomat from the factory or not. It’s ZW7 premium ride, but no G65 rpo code.

I have the ZW7 premium ride / Nivomat...... The rears look original.... but seem to still perform good even with 150,000 miles.
I would like to firm up the sway. Though, the turning does seem pretty good. ( I ALWAYS want to improve the handling )
On another note.... I checked out the headlights..... They mention "Denali" with the Yukon.
I will call them to confirm the fit ( picture they show may be a reference picture?)

Correct, I think these are technically for Denali’s, as they have the projector for the low beam. No fitment issues at all.
Denali headlights fit the regular Yukon’s.
Got the windows tinted. And honestly kinda wish I went 15% all around instead of 20.
Also apparently this sub wanted to escape from the box. Had to turn it at an angle and rescrew it in.
Got a raise at work so HOPEFULLY I can actually put some money away to do more work on this girl.

Congrats on the raise.

I felt the same way when I did the xpel tint this fall. I wish I did the 15% up front
