[LazyAssLou]

Just ordered my first pair from them for my brothers Jeep. Hopefully I get my tracking number soon.

I have a shipping number for my fogs. Apparently they made it past customs.

nothing for me yet. i guess they might become a christmas present for me.

They have a range of order numbers that they are currently shipping that they seem to update daily. I hope my order number is in tomorrow's range.

It will be my luck that they'll come when I'm in Costa Rica next week.

Mine should be here Friday.

They came last Friday and installed them today. Great illumination at night now with both the headlights and fogs with the HID in all of them.

Flip the connection around and put it in backwards, had to install both sides that way on my truck!

You're the elevendy-billionth person to have that issue. Once someone figured it out, things suddenly started working for a lot of people on here.

Its always best to run HID's in a projector housing, unless the reflectors were specifically designed for HID (ie, the escalade, first gen Envoy, Acura RL, etc). I went and bought Denali housings for my truck for this reason. Now, were they designed for HID applications? No, they were designed for 9005 halogen bulbs. However, the projector allows the light to be more directly and evenly distributed (whatever the source), so they actually work pretty well with HID bulbs.

Not all projectors are compatible with HID kits though, so check with the manufacturer before you buy. As for the 55w vs 35w questions, it depends on how much light output you need. Either will work in a regular headlight housing...it's when people try to put a 55w bulb in a smaller fog/driving light housing that they have problems. The 55w generates more heat, and can melt the smaller housings.

We have pretty much the same truck: I have a 02 SLT. I'd like to add HID to my non-Denali Yukon, what exactly (and from whom) did you buy your light kits? Have you a photo? Thanks!
