Im pretty sure the denalis are the only ones that have projectors stock. My yukon is an 03 with after market headlights. My headlights are not projectors.

Yup, only the Denali headlights are OEM projectors, but not HID projectors. They are made for standard halogen headlight bulbs.

What happens to the reflectors? turn black or warp from the heat? Sorry, complete HID noob.

Ya i am with you i am having a problem going with 35w when 55w is 10 bucks more but i truly do not know what i am getting into i have not seen in person i just know i want best value for money, so any more opinions would be awesome, sorry to jack on your thread but i have my order page
for ddm up right now, also google coupon codes for ddm i found some that work so you can save a little money
Bottom line is the 55w will be considerably brighter, and heat shouldn't be much issue.
Problem with 55w bulbs in a reflector isn't that you're going to cause yourself equipment problems, it's that it is likely to completely blind other drivers, and possibly get you a ticket.
Projectors have optics designed to focus the light in the area you need it and out of on-coming traffic's face. Reflectors don't generally have a cutoff shield and just blast all the light more indiscriminately in the general direction of "in front of you."

DenaliAK is right but, I haven't been flashed once. Mine are adjusted down a bit. If your getting 55w I wouldnt get 5000k-9000k because your light will be really white and will blind people. Thats why I got 12k because the light is bright but not blinding.

nice this is the info i need, see i figured bigger the number brighter the bulb but im looking at the chart now im thinking the digital 55w 10k now lows and 35w 6k fogs, it says they do not recommend the 55w in fog lights, are you not finding a problem DenaliAK?

I rarely use my fogs anymore with 35w 6k lows. It just does not seem necessary like it was with halogens. I turn them on only when on a dark road or rain.

lol. don't get me wrong definetly get them! I have both! I'm just saying with 35w 6k lows setup it's enough light. add the 35w fogs and light scatters to the sides and see everything. I just don't think 55w is necessary. But what ever floats your boat.
