What HID's is everyone running? My biggest dissapointment was discovering my Denali did not have HID's! I looked at several OBS Escalades which all had them and I ASSUMED this NNBS Denali had em......Really pissed me off!

Anyway which are you using? If I go say 6K in headlights what do I use in the fogs? Im thinking 5k's?? IDK. All I know is I want them to look as factory as possible not like some of the POS imports with HIDs which are so bright you cannot even tell what kind of car it is when approaching it from the other direction.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here we go again ... :)

Any HID kit you put in your lighthouse sized reflectors is going to glare like crazy and will look as far from oem as lights could look. It's not a matter of the quality of the kit, though most are of poor quality by definition, it's a matter of optics.

Plenty of links in my sig to explain why that is, and why the only two sound options is leave your setup as is, or spend approx. $1000 and get a retrofit which keeps HID bulbs where they belong: confined inside HID projectors.

Cheers!
