RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

I want to see these installed! I'm considering going back to more of a factory look. Any idea if these can be easily retrofitted?

@Red Rocket
I've heard these are perfect to retro and at $100 a pair you can't go wrong. Chrome or black to choose from.

I think @05Single may have some retro info on the Depos if I'm not mistaken?

@Fosscore , yeah my license plate lights are colored already. Those would be a pain to do if they weren't lol. Do it on the truck?! Or off?! Lol I planned to take them off haha. The little details are what make me happy. Haha. Hence why I'm are professional auto detailer! , @Red Rocket , they seem as though they would be easy enough to retro! They look just like the factory housings I took off last summer, despite having a black housing. It looks like my leds for my lows will go in pretty easily. Gonna get started on making my new halos for them in the next couple days.

For the Denali it's just a aftermarket bracket and then add aftermarket bowls and it all just bolts up.
I've heard the same with tahoe depos but not 100% positive on that.

If you get really crazy you can change out the projector lens to a aftermarket clear lens, but you would have to bake and open up the lights...not for the faint at heart. I just did three sets of lights yesterday, but I've done it a few times before.

@05Single , I'm about to do just that so I can add in led strips to make halos. It's gonna be a very interesting learning process. Hopefully I can watch some YouTube Vida first lol.

And another thiugh, was in an out if my car all afternoon as I took some time away from the slopes to detail for some of my very loyal clients. And the new foam cushion in my drivers seat made a world of a difference. My seat is even more comfortable than it was before. Loving it! And got him all shined up this afternoon. Quick after wash pic!

Yes win on the detail sunny pics.

Take off that little door and make sure and hit it with some adhesion promoter just for good measure and some primer. The more primer and sanding you do, the smoother it will be and lose that grainy OEM texture.

I did take the license plate lights off the truck to paint as most of my truck was. It CM'd as it is an LS.

Shark fin on Tahoe is deleted and plugged.

Shark fin on NNBS done in place. Masked off most of roof, windshield and hood just to be safe with overspray. But worth it to color match it.

Also did my rear lift gate trim ring CM'd in place but left the push button as it should stay not painted to slide in and out.

Your rear wiper needs some attention ahem... lol

The rest of my parts went to the shop - Handles, bumpers, vents for 2nd time after I did them, lower valance, bumper cap.

Where can I get those for $100 a pair? @TheAutumnWind is that what you paid? I see them on Amazon for $130 EACH!

Edit: that's for the chrome projectors. I actually found the black projectors on EBay for $130 a pair.

@Red Rocket
My bad. They are showing up eBay at a little more. These are the black ones. $140 for the pair.

Where did BigBear get his?

Yes I got my depos off eBay and they came to $135 with tax. @Fosscore , I wanna do the wiper but doing it the right way just really isn't an option right now. Too much $$$. So it'll have to wait lol.

Just a thought on the wiper delete, could you maybe cut a metal circle out to fit in the hole and then a bigger one to go behind the hole and use some type of adhesive or something then use some bondo and touch up the paint. Basically do the same process as you would if you were getting it done and welded but with some type of adhesive or jb weld or something. This is just a rough idea, someone can maybe fine tune this and run with it. I imagine it would be cheaper and diy.
