Head lights

[Brooklyn hoe]

I am looking to change the look of my 2007 tahoe, basically the headlights. I was thinking of buying the projector headlights on ebay and fitting them with some HID has any one done this mod if so how did it come out and how is the lighting output or should I just stay with my present set up and save my money and time.

They are horrible lights

Don't buy eBay style lights.

Horrible beam pattern

Retrofit all the way. If you are handy you can do it yourself. Person like me would just order them and fork out the dough because I'm not that handy.

I am about to do one.

I just bought a Morimoto 6.0 H1 kit from TheRetroFitSourcre.com on Thanksgiving.

And

OEM replacement headlights TYC from Amazon.

I plan to do a detailed thread after I finish.

You can make the oem lights as cool or as gay as you want. Options are truly endless.

Halos
Paint the reflectors
Paint the cutoff shield
Etc


The eBay ones have a horrible light pattern and look rice.

Go to black flame customs and see examples.

I am in $415.00 with everything

Definitely recommend retrofitting. My retrofits in new oem replica housings are being delivered tomorrow. Ended up getting a great special and paying about $200 more than above which included labor and I also added halos but not entirely sure if I want to run them or not. I too went with the Mini H1 6.0 at 5000k and 35w Morimoto ballasts with E46-extended shrouds. There are a lot of places out there that do quality work now. I'd recommend getting on hidplanet and reading around. I went with Vision Autoworks out of Atlanta.

Those are the guys that did mine. Although I found them through HID planet. You can also check them out on Facebook at rsxretrofits.com (now Vision Autoworks). The guy who started it used to work for TRS in Atlanta. They used I only do RSX's but over the last few years have changed and are doing any vehicles.

They've done several NNBS tahoe and each of them slightly different so there are lots of options.

Someone owes us some pictures tomorrow ^^^^

I'll definitely post some as soon as I get them installed.

I like those Iris shrouds. Very OEM look. I was going with that look as well and that's why I'm not entirely sure about the angel eyes yet but we'll how it all looks with the LED switchbacks I've got installed now.

Thank you, you guys saved me time and money think I might just put in a good set of HID and maybe slightly tint the headlights.
