2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

[vishnu619]

Well I have been lucky I guess. The kbcarstuff kit has been good to me. I purchased two of the cheaper kits for two other vehicles and they have given me no issues. Way better than stock. The halogens are very dim.

Yes, the halogens are painfully quiet in the lumen department. My wife complained about it loudly, as she drives our boys around in the dark winters of Alaska. So she needs better lights. However, just like a guy previously posted, installing junk is not an option.

I talked with a close co-worker about a kit he put in his 2012 ford super-duty. He installed a TRS kit with Osram SVS bulbs. No issues at all since 2012, not even maybe. He said the bulbs were around $100 each, if he remembers right. I believe I will follow his recommendation. Maybe high quality bulbs are the missing link.......????

On my kit I got the phillips upgraded bulbs which is what most factory HID kits use. I would say do whatever you feel most comfortable with. Nothing is guaranteed to work 100% so you just have to roll the dice.

I was browsing on TRS website and found the D2S OEM HID kit. Uses Denso ballasts, Philips or Osram bulbs. It's around $350 with the Philips 85122xv C1 4800k bulbs. Why hasn't anyone tried this kit? It comes with 90% OEM HID components, everything but the harness. Forgive me if there's an obvious reason no one has done this, I'm new to HID kits.

$200 price difference to most kits could be one reason.

You get what you pay for? Or get lucky?

I'm getting ready to take the plunge, and will be purchasing the HID kit from XenonDepot for my '15 Yukon. I've used XenonDepot previously on my other cars and have never experienced an issue.

I see that the xenon depot kit is the same kit on kbcarstuff. I really like the idea of Philips 4300k bulbs. I would love to build a kit, but it wouldn't be cheap. I may do it though.

Flynnstone, how long have your previous kits been installed and trouble free?

 

[vishnu619]

If anyone goes with kbcarstuff I used code 4thcivic. That will knock off $25 and give you the canbus kit for free which you will need.

I ran the kit in my 4Runner for a couple years
