Aftermarket headlights

[zach2011]

I wanna see your pics and reviews on them. I'm considering those projector ones with LED's and I don't know what they'd look like or how they'd work until they got here.

Thanks

I personally got Depo lights. I'm not a fan of LED halos, the Depo's were projectors without any LED's. They work just fine, I have a couple of "dots" above each light's cutoff that almost look like they are there by design, as they light up street signs very well without messing with other driver's vision.

^ those dots are from the design of the projector. When they design projectors, they put in what in the HID forum I belong to call " a squirrel finder " this allows a little, very little light to produce above the cutoff so that it will shine down road to the road signs.

ultimeately I close them off when I do my HID projector conversions, this produces a more solid beam

I have aftermarket projector headlights with 10k lows and highs. I can't hardly see shit on low beam with the projectors but have great lighting on highs (non projector)

Hey jgiguere17, Is this on all projectors or just that brand?

10000k is your problem. If you went to 4300k you would be alot better off.


Definatly the depo headlights for projectors. But you have a gmt 900, not an 800 (going by your sig) so nothing were suggesting will fit.

Oh crap, I didn't even notice that, Thunder. Good point, but I have to imagine that Depo makes a projector for the 900.

Thanks for that bit of info. I never knew that, and thought it might have been a byproduct of putting HID's in halogen projectors. I'm also guessing when I had the conversion done on my other truck, Todd closed those as they have no such dots.

i've heard of that as a kick up on the passenger side projector light too.

We also have an 800. If that's what a 2002 model fits under. My dad bought it from his friends after they bought a new Denali so I've been doing little inexpensive mods to it.


Anyways I'll take a look at those Depo lights since they don't have all those LED's, never really liked them being there. Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.
