Blacking out the headlights

[Rocket Man]

Man I absolutely love the look on yours! I am not real familiar with the HID lights and how all the different levels of brightness. How are the HID'S to install because I will definitely have to upgrade my lights going with the Spyder lenses? @Red Rocket

HID plug-and-play kits like mine are extremely easy to do but you need to be sure to start with good quality projector headlights to start with. The factory Denali's are decent, as are Depo's and I found the Spyders are too. However most of the other aftermarket ones are crap and will not work good, and might even blind oncoming traffic. HID retrofits where you remove the projector assemblies and replace them with ones made specifically for HID are way harder to do. The best way is of course the more difficult method. Mine have decent cutoff lines and actually light the road well but not as well as a full retrofit.

Pulled the lenses off, put quad hid projectors in, trimmed shrouds to fit, painted housings black, installed shrouds, re sealed housings

Interesting, I didn't realize the lens could be pulled off. That's definitely an idea to keep in mind. Thanks for the info @YukonXL04

I think the plug-and-play would work for me. I did notice that the corners on your Yukon are black, whereas on the Spyders I am looking at have the amber corners. Is that something different for Denali's versus standard Yukon XL? @redrocket

Depo headlights are definitely better quality than most. I've heard that the spyder's are pretty good quality as well though.

Mine have amber reflectors too- that's a DOT requirement. They're black with smoke lenses though- so you can't see them as well. Those look like they're black with clear lenses.

Been looking at the Spyders since I liked the way they look on @Redrocket ride. Open to Depo or Spyder though. Just trying to find the black housing and smoked lights on a set of lights. Appreciate the feedback @OhioHoe
