Bit the bullet, too. I just ordered some of the P1's. I think at this point they'd be easier to retro into what I'm doing anyway.

Thanks Ezdaar for selling me on these...the thing that really got me over the edge is you're running 50w which is what I will be doing as well.

Soulsea: ?? What's the project?? Behind the grill? Backup lights? Inquiring minds want to know....

So I happen to be by the dealer and saw a new gmc terrain. I noticed what seemed like projector fogs on it. So I went to my buddy at the parts dept and pulled up the part (GM 10335108).

And low and behold:

I wonder if it may be a good alternative instead of the Blazers or Fusions.

I'll try to find a better pic, but they look small and wicked on the terrain. :)

Oh and Tony sells aftermarket clones of them: http://www.1aauto.com/1A/fog-lights...opping&utm_source=google_base&utm_content=LFL

Could be a good find. They are halogen, though, so of course the question will be, "can they handle HID's?"

I'm tapped out...someone else buy some and see how they do. ;)

I posted an ebay link on hidp of someone selling one for $30.

Might be perfect for teh experiment. :)

And it takes H11 bulbs which means it will handle a HIR 9011 bulb. ;)

Plus someone had HIDs on it for 2 years with no issues (see hidp thread)

P1's should be here in the next day or two. Unfortunately, my new 3000k Morimoto 3five 880's are back-ordered with TRS....

:(

Just got the P1's.

A quick check shows that with the projector/halo fogs I bought, if you remove the projector these fit PERFECTLY inside the halo and in the existing bracket/holes. All you need is about 1/4" worth of spacers and slightly longer screws than it comes with. My buddy has some shrouds that fit perfectly in the housing, too, so the P1 projectors + shrouds may fit like a glove (I took out the halos...not a big fan).

Honestly, after closer inspection, externally the projectors are identical. They obviously share the same manufacturer. But the ones that came with the halos have a cheap, flaking chrome finish on the front of the cutoff shield, and the lens is not as clear or high-quality looking. Very interesting. So, the short version is you can get these halos, ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/01-YUKON-DENALI-SIERRA-DENALI-HALO-PROJECTOR-FOG-LIGHT-/130533198014?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASierra+Denali&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e646288be ) easily take out the existing, pre-wired, non-HID projector, and sub in a P1. It's a matter of taking two screws out to do it, and the fit will be perfect.

Comparing the P1 output to Blazers and Fusions tonight, but from a pure fitment standpoint, these P1's are going to be simple. I don't even need the mounting bracket they came with. I'm hoping the output is as clean and sharp as the Blazer.

Quick pic of one of the P1's mounted in the preexisting housing bracket. Nicely centered and everything. Just need something to fill the gap around it. This is not the final product, but shows the exactness of the fit. If the projector that came with it wasn't an H3 halogen I'd compare the output of the two to see if there is any difference at all.
