What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[MrBalll]

Washed it and two other family cars.

 

[BillBlatt18]

put an optima red top in it and drove it for the first time in 2 and a half weeks

 

[Tahoewhat]

Changed rims. Tires are too small though, width wise, looks like rims are sunk in. (no pics, sorry)

Unacceptable Mike!

The snow couldn't stop me from working on my Tahoe.

Installed projectors, I like them but I think I'm in need of some HID's now.
What do you think?

Absolutely on the HID's, you will love them more!!

Well my only problem is, which brand to buy. I really don't want cheapo HIDs that will crap out so I'm going to wait a little bit before I pick some up

Looks cool. But the output with hid's in those housings is going to be horrible. Been done before-

Chauncey, you know i'm new to this, but why would the output be horrible? did I choose crappy projectors? And what HID's would be best?

The pic I posted is from another member on here who has the exact same ccfl halo projectors. Most aftermarket projectors are made for halogens and not hids. The lens and reflector behind the lens is just not made to handle hid light. If you want good output, you're going to have to do a projector retro. Believe me, I have those ccfl halo projectors also and was going to go hid until I saw the output. I still might but want to do a retro. As far as best hid's- I don't know. Most say DDM, but I've heard lots of bad things about DDM lately. Personally, I went with xentec hids from ebay. Less than $50 and a 2 year warranty. For best useable light, stick with 4300k- 5000k.

They are definitely not the best. I have the same setup with HIDs until I get my new job and get some DEPOs. There are HUGE dark spots in the middle. I will go grab a picture real quick.

Like Chauncey said, the only good way to go is with Retros. Aftermarkets can only be so good.

Inside. Not actually this bright. You can see dark spots everywhere.
Front.
Spots. Pic is blurry due to focus on my hand, but you get the idea. Those spots really do hurt when driving outside of the city.

ok, got it, going to look into and see what I can do. It may have to wait until spring. Gonna be busy with work full-time and school full-time. So mods will be on hold for a few months.

i think thats just the nature of the beast. im about to order some and ill prob get some ddms. i looked at the zentecs also, but heard just as many people say bad thing them. it looks like its just a crap shoot either way

 

[elcapitanmas]

Smoked the tails until the new leds arrive.

Drove it

Yes, definitely looking good. May I say it would look better with in-channel rain guards instead of the stick on ones, imo.
