Blackout the grill and emblem, leave the inserts chrome.

On a side note I have your same headlights in the flat black finish, I just tried hid's in the low beam orojectors and the output is definitely worse than with the halogen. So a retrofit will be coming soon for me too. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thinks that's what I'm leaning towards leave the inserts chrome rest back was hoping for a little more input lol.

Yukonxl04 so you have the H1 HID bulb in your head lights and say the regular halogen is better? I had HID installed since day 1 and wasn't as happy as i was with past HID I've had. So you thinking of putting 9006 in? I haven't looked into yet completely but you got any idea on a how to? I might try halogen in low beam and see what it looks like! Thanks for the info let me know on retrofit.
Billy.

Yea I have a H1 hid in my lows, and they suck compared to my stock housing with 55w hid and no projector in terms of light output. But these aren't bad at all with halogen bulbs in them. My plan is to move the projector that is in the low beams over to the high beam section, then put a morimoto h1 bi-xenon projector for the low beams. But will have single low beam and dual highs.

Love your ride, stance looks great.

Personally not a fan of a murdered out look. Too much of one color is boring to look at IMO. Have you considered blacking out the outter part of the grill and then painting the inside a dark grey to give it a bit more depth and contrast?

That's why I told him to do that but do the black chrome process to the Nali grills.

Thanks man addicted to being low!! Thinking near future adding the DJM LCA. I have the mounts to do the 1 inch net body drop to install. They look nasty slammed

My plan is to move the projector that is in the low beams over to the high beam section, then put a morimoto h1 bi-xenon projector for the low beams. But will have single low beam and dual highs.

So do you think it's the projector in low beam killing it? I have H1 HID in the high beams and have the 4 high mod done. When highs on Its nice I'd say just as bright as the last set of 9006 I had on the truck with stock headlights. I gotta do something! I'd be interested in staying in touch on the headlight mods?

The onstar Antenna on my wife's is getting shaved and my rear hatch wiper too.

That's gonna look sick love the rear hatches shaved gives them such a clean look do you have a roll pan? The on-star gone will clean it up nice to.

I think I'm going to go with black outside and leave insert chrome I dont mind a touch of chrome. When looking at it from the side the chrome part around the marker you can see is just out of place to me due to no other chrome on the truck. Emblem is going black.

On a side note how do I install the picture and note at the bottom of each post like you guys have?

Correct it is the projector causing the issues. Absolutely, I will prolly do a write up once I get them done. My old Sierra (2000) I did 9006 55w 5k HID in the low beam and 880 55w 5k HID in the fogs and The output was great, but being slightly lifted and level stance it definitely blinded people. So I am trying to do it right this time.

Your truck looks great btw.

Thanks man few more things I gotta do but it never ends lol! Ya I'd be interested to see how it goes prob start looking into it myself. I've been thinking about putting an H1 in my fogs be better then the 880's HID I have. Have you consider just switching the plug so that the inside is the low beam and adjust them and adjust low beam to be set as high? Just a thought....
