2013 Yukon XL 2500 Headlights

[Caymanboy]

I have a 2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500.
I do not like the factory headlights.
The Yukon does not like aftermarket headlights, either HID or LED, blows the driver/ballast or the bulbs, on set # 4 now.
I wish to have a 6500k WHITE light, not Blue, but WHITE.
Any ideas?

I use relays and I'm wired directly to the battery (with inline fuses), the only draw on the factory system is just a small voltage to click the relays on/off, very easy to setup, just google "hella fog light wiring diagram" and you can use the same diagram for any light system just use the factory headlight power wire as the trigger, all the parts can be purchased at your local auto parts store but I would recommend ordering water-proof relays online that was the only problem I have had in the past was from water getting in the relays

Are these OEM retro fits?
What do they look like and where do you get them?
Thank you.

Yes OEM retrofits. There are a few stickies that have info at the top of this forum. You can customize the look depending where you get them from and the type of protectors you choose. Not sure who the best supplier is currently... its been over a year since I priced a set

I also have a 2013 Denali and would very much like to improve the 'down the road' distance on high beam. Toward that end I seen a Yukon in a move recently (forget the title) but it had headlight bulbs both top and bottom in the stock housings. Not sure what it used for front facing turn signals but there were headlight bulbs in the turn signal housings. Anyone out there seen this before or maybe made this mod to the stock housings?
