Denali Headlight Issues

[Rocket Man]

You could either get a HID kit for the 9005 bulbs or some aftermarket light assemblies. For the latter I suggest DEPO or Spyder. I'd say try different halogen bulbs but you already swapped those. I bought Spyders but only because my Denali stock ones had faded lenses. The hid kit can probably be found at a local auto parts store, the new housings would have to be ordered.

Another option is the new LED plug and play kits. I've heard some here have given them good reviews and there's no problems with auto headlamps, also they're instant on so no other mods needed as far as 4 high etc.

I'd recommend you modify the factory projector shield more light

How would you modify it? looks like there is a top and bottom "diverter" with the center open...maybe try and open that gap some more?

Just unbolt the mounting bracket and unbolt the projector housing and separate the the housing and the projector and you'll see the cutoff shield its night and day the difference.

So just remove all together or cut in half and reinstall the top?

That cutoff shield is there so you don't blind oncoming traffic. Your mod will result in scattered light and piss people off. Why would you do that? You're instructing him to basically destroy his headlights. As they are, they're worth money if he wants to sell them but if he hacks up his cutoffs they're worthless. Not trying to jump your ass but be careful of what you suggest. If I'm wrong, please let me know but that's the way I see it. Not sure what your mod will accomplish since the stock Denali housings are known to be good projectors.

Well I guess I am trying to figure out why my low beams suck hind side...I just got this 03 and the first night I drove it I actually got out to see if the low beams were on. So that's the reason I looked for help in a forum like this. I am sure I wasn't the first to ask this, as I wasn't the OP but wasn't sure how to search the archives because of the different titles this could be. I just want to see at night and be safe is all. Again thanks for everyone's input. If we can accomplish this with some type of lamp change I am all for that
