Projectors For 2003 Tahoe

[Tahoe2003]

I would like to know if anyone here has a set of projector headlights for sales or can make some for me to buy, I want to run a set of HID lights in them.

I am looking for something that is ready to be installed when i get them

Please let me know if anyone has what I am looking for. Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place.

Thank you all very much for your help

I normally wouldn't recommend anyone running HID bulbs in anything other than a proper projector retrofit, but as luck would have it, NBS Depo projectors, although meant for halogens, seem to take to hids pretty well: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33087&highlight=putco+projectors

You'll still get hotspots and waisted lumens, but at least they won't glare like the sun.

So the DEPO do better with an HID bulb than the stock ones, and do they cut way down on the glare than stock headlights?

Are the DEPO's better to retro fit than stock headlights if you go that route?

Thank you

Depos are projectors so yes they won't glare like reflective housings and I've heard after market housings are much more difficult to open up.

Honestly Mark, I don't know which is a 'better' halogen projector depo vs denali oem to use hid bulbs in as I know little about your model year truck ... same goes for which would be easier to retrofit. Just going by cutoff pics one can see that it's pretty clean and does not glare much.

DenaliAK has done a retro on your type of housing: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6151

Hopefully some members with more knowledge on you specific headlights will see this thread and chime in.

i have depos on my 03 tahoe, they work good, just have one little annoyance that bothers the hell out of me, they shake when you hit bumps

What can be done to stop the shaking in the Depo headlights? How have others stop this issue?

Thank you

He is right...

I have both; the Depo is what I called a plug n play to put HID kits on. It's nice when you look at it but the output is not evenly spread out and of course hotspots...etc. For the cutoff you can do a quick fix with this step, its work great for me. You can have my Depo for $80, I only use it for no more than 2 months and put it away, still have the box. (I'm planning to keep it to put the S2000 projector on but still no luck with the deal)

On the other hand, if you like me care more about the light output then you should retrofit your OEM headlight. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours, and it's amazing with the output. But I have to warm you, when you able to complete your first then it's will make you on second and third; low, high and fog which I'm working on right now.
