2015 Yukon HID Conversion from The Retrofit Source

[Prormk]

I just wonder if the XenonDepot H11 4300K Philips re-based bulbs have the return wire in the correct orientation for our projectors. Here's what I plan on doing, you guys that know what the hell you're doing tell me what you think;

1. TRS Denso Slim AMP Ballasts
2. TRS H11 HD Relay Harness
3. TRS Capacitor Link
4. TRS 9006 Extension Cables
5. XenonDepot 4300K Philips 85122 re-based H11 HID bulbs.

Does that cover everything I need? I think this is as OEM as we can get.

I just ordered the XenonDepot kit a couple days ago, and went with the Extreme HID Kit (H11) and their LED Fogs (both in 5000k temp). I'll post an update once installed.

so do we need H11A or H11B bulbs in our yukons?

Im looking at these for an 05 Denali.

Are these instant on or do they take a few to warm up? I have an older different set on my 2000 Silverado and they have to warm up to full brightness.

So, after a month of frustration with the Opt7 Bolt HID kit, now gonna try the XenonDepot H11 Extreme kit from KBCarstuff.com...I can say that the customer service at Opt7 was VERY good, and they TRIED to keep me happy, but in the end, their kit was just plain unreliable. When they finally kind of threw their hands up in the air and said that it must be a problem with the new Yukons, I gave up. Went through 4 bulbs and a ballast in a little over one month. Yikes. My wife and I would laugh and play the "headlight lottery" before starting the truck up the past couple of weeks, as we never knew which SIDE would light up (at least we always had ONE side light up, never did have both fail), or if they would both light up...

Hopefully the XD kit with the Phillips bulbs do the trick...we will see.

I had the same issues with the KBcarstuff extreme kit with the Phillips bulbs. I got tired of driving a brand new truck with a headlight out.

I ended up going back to halogen fit now. It was just too frustrating especially when it worked great in the beginning.

Good luck!

Ah crap, that's NOT what I wanted to hear... I hope I get lucky. The funny part is, the past three days in a row, the Opt7 kit has worked without a hitch! Go figure...

Just curious if you ordered the CANBUS adapter with the kit? I'm in the middle of installing the extreme kit... Installed the driver side this morning, and going to finish the passenger side this weekend.

I did find out that you have to switch the polarity on the CANBUS adapter for them to work.
