Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[Bombsquad85]

I ordered the brackets from the GMFS forum member not just to save a few bucks but more to buy from a small private guy. I also just ordered Morimoto mini H1 projectors, the Hylux 45 watt ballasts, Morimoto 5500k bulbs and Morimoto bulb holders from Lightwerkz because they gave me a better price, free shipping plus 15% off as a new customer. Total was about $275 for everything. I guess I’m in lol.

Nice you did exactly what I did but I got the brackets from CB&D.

Heads up the motoholders I wasnt a fan of. I'm using the metal clips that came with the projectors. I couldnt get the bulbs to sit right with the holders

Because the adapter plates available are for mini H1’s. They’re for the OEM Denali headlights and don’t require baking open the headlights, just bolt them on in place of the existing projectors. I sent a pic of the back of the Anzo’s to a guy who sells the brackets and he says they will work, they use the same projectors as the Denali’s.

That and the mini d2s are too big for the stock housings without modifications.

I'm still thinking about it. I wanna contact CB&D and see if they can make a bracket for the mini d2s and I'll just d some cutting

I used the motoholders on my Silverado retrofits, I liked them.

No, the tails I have are probably the only aftermarket ones I like. No need to mess with a good thing. I’m not a fan of the Esky style either.

No, the NBS ones, G3 or G5 or whatever they’re called. Same for the 3rd brake light, I think they’re hideous.

I thought the G tails were for nnbs . Now I’m curious about these hideous tails . Doesn’t really matter , you’re just as picky as me and I doubt I’ll like them anyway lol.

IDK lol. Maybe they’re nnbs only.

Who knows maybe I didnt use them right. But for some reason I couldnt get the bulbs to sit right in the projector
