2009 Yukon Replacement Headlight Housings

[11bravo]

I just ordered replacement housings for my truck. I went with stock, as I have already retrofitted the old incandescent bulbs with quality LEDs, and I'll just transfer them to the new housing. The new housings were about $365 each.

What bulb, make and number, did you use, Joseph?

I have had these for a few months and they work ok. Longevity, I can't say yet.

Above aftermarket projector headlamp units with these H1 bulbs in the low beams. High beams not projector so do not LED them.

For the headlights, I used GTR Ultra II headlights, which can be purchased through HeadlightRevolution.com. They are pricy, but they are guaranteed for life. They are adjustable and their properly adjusted beam spread is outstanding. All of my other LEDs are JDM Astar brand, but I believe that they were a victim of COVID, as their direct website disappeared at that time. You can still buy that branded LED on Amazon, but I would no longer trust their quality and consistency. Going forward, I will deal with HeadlightRevolution.com for all of my LEDs, and my preference will be to purchase the GTR brand.

Those are what I put on our 08 YXL Denali. With halogen lamps they’re still subpar.

Install LED lamps with the integrated cooling fan in the low beams projectors (only) as a resistor and the you’ll have a safe, Non blinding to oncoming traffic, razor sharp cut off horizon line. You’ll love them.

Just got these for my dad for Christmas for his Yukon and did these bulbs for the low beams and they turned out great. The performance is very close to LEDs in proper LED projectors and for sure worth the money. My only real complaint is a big one. The C shaped LED bar light doesn't turn on unless the headlights are on and it still uses the low beam for the DRL. Otherwise these are well worth the money.


I am pretty sure I will end up with them for my truck too. I was gonna do the Morimoto lights but they are twice the price and not user serviceable. Plus Morimoto is wrapped up with that whole hooligan bankruptcy thing so I am not sure I would trust that they will be there in the future.

Thanks for the info...I will use it in the future. Jim

Replaced mine with GMC OE lamps that came with all new bulbs. We get flashed all the time by people thinking the brights are on. Yes, they are aimed correctly. Kids are amazed that they are as bright as they are for being incandescent and not LEDs. Plenty bright for me at night with my old diabetic eyes. My favorite part is in the photo below:

I have nice aftermarket set on my 08 Denali I’ll be selling if you might be interested. I’m using the chassis for a project and don’t need them.View attachment 450998

I am interested, depending on the quality and price.

for the light bar to come on there's a separate fuse tap. on the morimoto's, you might be able to wire yours in to be on when the key is on too with some mods.
