Bread, juice, iced tea maybe, fruit, and let it sit. Lol

My buddys mom used to buy us the 3-4 tall smirnoff's and the flavored packs of cigars for $.99 when we were about 13 lol, drank every weekend and smoked a pack a day before i had my drivers license lol

What does the light pattern on the wall (from about 25') look like from those projectors?

If you haven't already done it, I'd recommend a relay kit, the 4-high mod. The relay kit doesn't seem to help the HIDs as much as it helps the halogen high beams, but I like running the headlights directly from the battery connection with the heavier wires.

Here's what they look like about 20 ft from wall.
(Pretty sure i need to adjust them too)

Those look like they might have a better pattern than my Denali copies:

Now I'm back to wanting to get a pair of those again!

ha, i like them, and i really need to adjust them now that they are in new housings.

yours look good. nice bright and even.

mine seem to draw a lot of power right when i start her up. i may switch back to xenon bulbs.
my fogs should be here soon, which might make the decision for me.

I also have no idea how to do that relay mod. But it seems like these HID's i have with ballasts etc pull on the battery right when i try to crank it. Wish it would delay until after the starter cranks.

You can get pre-made relay kits, so all you have to do is hook them up.

Mine are bright because I got a good set of HIDs from @Vanquish Auto. I got the 5000k set, and they are just as bright as the stock non-projector bulbs were, but none of the light goes in peoples faces.

Heads or Tails? both

Finally got rid of those faded factory shells. Did the driving lights, the headlights and the tails. Thanks to @W8TVI turning me onto the ANZO U-Bar Headlights. as well.

Yours look awesome on your Denali.

Are you going to get blacked out turn signals now?


I wanted to see how these would look on my truck, so I did a quick photo-chop:


What do you think? Should I get the black like you, or should I stay with all the chrome?

 

[MadDogDelpho]

I like the chrome on your truck, tbh. Not too much, it's pretty tasteful.

Man i debated on all of em for like a week before i pulled the trigger. The dark look evil even during the day. Whereas the chrome ones seemed like they need to be on to really show the u-bars. but to be honest, i like them both and it was a hard decision, especially because they are kinda expensive comepared to all the other ones available. Yours might be better with chrome, i dont know man.

Damn those u bars look good! And now I want some! Haha. The lowbeam output looks really good!
