Oem can't be opened up to put the shroud and projector in. Use aftermarket replica factory housing. Buy it on eBay. They're cheap like less then 200 for the pair. Or just go through vision auto works from eBay or support a vendor here and get some made from black flame customs!!


Thanks, I guess I should have looked into it more. Oh well I'll check out the replicas.

OEM Yukon are easier to open.

At least that has been said before.

Quite honestly. If I was paying a retrofitting company I would go with OEM housing

They are.

However if I was paying 600+

I would want OEM if possible

It is my understanding they don't due to the aforementioned difficulty of opening the OEM housing. Let's say that they can use an OEM housing...that would turn your "$600 retro" into $1100 due to the price of OEM housings

Send in your old ones if possible

They are aftermarket lights, but they said if you send in your own light, it's $125 off the price.

Well there you have it

They have a way to take apart the OEM lights.

I would rather that if I was paying $$$$
