HID replacement question

[SARNCAN]

Thanks fo the link, very informative video of what our headlights look like inside once opened up and the projector mounting position.

I'm not sure if that video is for just a lens upgrade... While driving around the driver keeps activating the high beams and if you look at the beam pattern on the building @ 2:56 it looks exactly like the beam pattern of a bi-xenon projector with the high beam activated rather than separate high beam bulbs. Which would require a completely different projector than a stock GM SUV projector. I could be wrong...

High beam is just an LED, he keeps mentioning that we upgraded that to LED.
Low beam they used Denso ballast with Philips bulbs, as well as Hella 4 projection lenses.
Outstanding!

I see, that would make more sense.

Seems like it could be a viable upgrade to just swap the lenses in the OEM GM projectors.

However, if I’m going through the trouble of baking and opening up OEM headlight housings I’m going all-in. RX350 projector retrofit/swap in lieu of OEM GM projectors, upgraded headlight harness that activates high beams on the RX350 bi-xenon projectors and 9005 bulbs, and upgraded LED DRL light strip. Done.

No lol. I am going to make my mechanic do it when I get my oil changed, I can't get my hand in there to turn the clip holding the bulb.......smh

It is super easy, trust me.
Just disconnect the negative terminal, and use a pliers to twist ring’s arm.

Mine were stubborn the first time as well. I used a pair of bent, long needle nose pliers to get them loose the first time.

I was trying to figure some kind of tool to use...... I know there is something similar to use

I used pliers to twist the ring,,

Replaced mine with this set, and it is better than the Osram in term of colour, beam sharpness, and clarity

I know we probably have 35W stock bulbs, know if there are any 55W that will plug into what we currently have from the factory? I’m coming from 55W 6000k HIDS behind projector lenses on my 4Runner and the brightness was just amazing.

I had 55w in my old Tahoe because of the smoked lens on my headlights, and I agree 100% the output was a huge difference from the 35w
