You shouldn't put a HID bulb in a halogen projector. Many arguments start over this. Here's a thread about lighting...

http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/tahoe-yukon-headlight-information-thread.47106/


I get all the points that you make and I'm not trying to argue with anyone about it. I'm far from a teenager that just wants a cool looking light. I'm over 40 and I've used hid lighting with halogen projectors since they fist came out. I've never once experienced any issues with using the 35 watt kits. The light produced was always bright and had a great cutoff line. Again, I'm not arguing with anyone......just speaking from my own personal experience on this subject. Now when people use them in non projector halogen housings....that's a different story all together.

Well let me shed some light, ha! I have the Anzo U bars on my 08 Tahoe and the projectors sucks. I have changed the bulbs with HIDs and they suck badly. There's a dark spot on the vehicle in front of you. So imagine rolling up on a vehicle at a red light... the back of their car is barely lit up. Although the sides of their car is lit. I have a 4000 lumen HID kit at 5k. I bought the h7c which is 5mm shorter than the h7. I got a guy at Anzo to tell me. I have tried LED bulbs since you can get brighter bulbs than HID but they're physically too big. With the heatsink on the back of the bulb, the headlamp housing itself won't bolt into place. Maybe the Anzo Yukon headlights are different but I bet the projectors are the same. I'm about to rip mine out and put these in I think.

Really? I think you might've gotten a defective set. Mine have perfect projectors in them. No dark spots whatsoever and great light coverage. I mean anything can happen during manufacturing though. You would think they would've tested them and caught it though. I will say that set on that truck is really nice!

I'm running the halogen bulbs that they came with for now. I haven't had the time to get new bulbs yet. So busy with Xmas shopping for all these kids I got lol. I'm gonna try to remember to take some pics tomorrow so I can send them to you. I really think you got a defective pair. Respond to this so I see an alert....that will remind me when I come back on this site.

I hold myself back from commenting on this lol.
Run what youre comfortable running. Hids, halogens , led, whatever. Projectors or reflectors. No argument from me. As long as you don't kill anyone.
Just looked at the page you posted but didnt see the lights you specified.

Personally I'm a little more worried about people texting or drinking and driving than some brighter than average lights like hids.
But that's just me.
