Aftermarket projector/hid headlights

Tahoe03mm · May 14, 2009

I have an 03 Tahoe that I did an Hid conversion like a year ago and wanted to put in some black or smoke projectors with halo accent. So I bought some on ebay that were supposed to fit tahoe 01-06 and 99-02 silverado. I went to install them and noticed a large gap (at least an inch or so) between the bottom of the headlight housing and grill which looked like *****. Also I checked fit with hood and with a deflector it's hitting on the top of housing when you close the hood. So I'm going to RMa them. So I need to find something else. Is the mount on the silverado slightly different? Halo accent is not a must but projector is. Please find me a good alternative

The issue I've found with a lot of the eBay projectors is that they are plastic. I was going to use those when I converted my Jeep, but decided against in fear the plastic would melt.

If I can find a pair cheap enough on eBay, I'd buy them and retrofit glass projectors. The difference between the eBay projectors and quality projectors (pun intended) is night and day.

Who makes a decent set of projectors? I was thinking of looking into the ones that the denali uses, but I was under the impression that would require changing mounts, wiring harness, and the grill and I don't really want to undertake that unless it's going to be semi-resonable

I had to take these apart and fix the adjusters to get them semi close. You can still see that I have the gap that you are talking about where the top light meets the grill. When my truck gets out of the shop (body mods) I will get them set perfect. Gotta love the HID's.

I know you said halos. But these aftermarket projectors are the best ones I have ever used. They take the stock bulbs (9006 and 9005) and have a great beam and cutoff.

I assume that you can install an HID kit with these? ...excuse my ignorance, I'm electrically wheelchaired.

Yes you can. I did when I had them on my mustang (same projector just different housing)
