Denali Headlight Issues

[DDenali]

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.

Red Rocket first I want to clarify something because the picture I took was upside down the part of the shield I got rid of was the bottom reflector. Eliminating that part of the shield has no adverse effect on on coming traffic if aimed correctly so Red Rocket I apologize for the mix up and I respect that again my bad with the mix up bud

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

I messed up because the section of the shield I kept is the part that protects on coming traffic from the projected light. I should of explained it better so that's my fault bud

No problem @DDenali it makes some sense now. However I wouldn't do anything to the stock Denali housings that can't be reversed since like I said, they are in demand and getting to be rare. I've never heard of anyone modifying them other than retrofitting to HID or LED. They are known to be good projectors so I'm thinking the problem is the lights ( bulbs) themselves or dirty inside.

I definitely agree because that's very unusual for these headlights mine are depos and I'm gonna retrofit some better projectors eventually again my screw up Red Rocket [emoji573]

Well then you shouldn't be telling him to mod his OEM housings! Maybe that's a known Depo mod but like I said the Denali projectors are supposed to be great.

Better to know then to assume he has depo again a mistake by me

They are OEM housings and i have tried swapping highs and low lamps...both sets are bright in high beam configuration and both sets are dismal in the low beam configuration...thats why i am baffled on this. When i had them out the looked clean.

Did you disassemble the actual projectors? The backs are like tiny mirrors and if they're dirty they won't work well. The reflectors ( high beams) aren't as critical.

No I didn't disassemble, but I will tomorrow and post my findings

Just a thought...on an 03 is there any "daylight" setting or low output relay or module that it could be stuck in for the low beams?
