Just order some HIDs online and install them yourself...not much more complicated than replacing a bulb. I did mine and I don't even change my own oil. If you're really against doing it yourself I'd imagine most car stereo shops could do it for you. Your best bet for your Yukon would be to get a set of Denali projectors and install HIDs in them...while not technically legal, it will give you the best light with the lest chance of getting pulled over.

They are easy to install. Unless you have no hands you should be able to install them yourself.. There is a pictorial write up somewhere on this forum. I'll try and find it if not we'll guide you thru the process..

Technically to have HIDs you must have projector housings and auto leveling. If you added denali projectors you would still be short auto leveling...but its really not a big deal as the projectors will keep the light from scattering.

REpo is this true from a legal stand point? I ask about the auto leveling because I had an Audi and the autoleveliing was an added option even if you had HID's. It did not automatically come with them.

And yes, this is a true DIY project. If you are into wasting money on an install, just send the cash to me and I will walk you through on the phone.

autolevelling is not and never was a requirement for legality.

being originally supplied with HIDs is.

I was always told auto leveling was...not that I care much, I've never really been one to follow the letter of the law. Anyway aftermarket HIDs are so commonplace now I would really doubt anyone would hassle you.

no, I've just been around a while. I remember when an HID retro consisted mainly of finding a mk VIII and stripping the bulbs and ballasts off it. They were essentially 9006 spec HID :)

+1 or when doing hids on an s10 involved going to a junk yard and popping the hood on an audi
