Changed the front rotors and pads:

looks like I need to replace these:



They look like this on both sides.

4-Hi mod done!



Dads truck too:


I put the HIDs back in my low beams (only the HIDs and the HIR 9011 bulbs seem to be bright enough/good enough pattern to use in these projectors), and put the LEDs in the high beams.

Both our trucks have an aftermarket headlight relay kit installed, so it can run the 4-HI mod with out taxing the stock wiring.
Because both trucks have the aftermarket relay kit, it was VERY easy to do the 4-Hi mod.
On my truck, I only had to jumper from ground to the low beam trigger/input ground wire.
On my dads truck, I needed a diode and I ran a wire with diode in to from the high beam trigger +12 wire to the low beam trigger +12 wire (cathode of the diode pointing to the low beam wire). If we hadn't had the relay kits, we would have had to use a relay instead of a diode to run the low beams on his truck.



Bonus stupid bright light bar picture!

I just ordered a set of 9005 35w HIDs (non-canbus) from @Vanquish Auto to try out.
I'm hoping they work better with my TYC Denali projector clones, than this $30 set (http://a.co/5HnphpM) made by XtremeVision.

After I get them and install them, I'll post some pictures to compare.

Thank you for your order. You will definitely notice they will be much brighter. Try them side by side and let them know.

Got the new HIDs and installed them.

They are noticeably brighter than the cheap HID kit I used before.

I'm not sure why I recieved the can-bus version of the kit when I ordered the non-can-bus version, but I'm not complaining.

The new ballast also feels much heavier than the old. Reassuringly so.

After seeing how @Sevenevez 's Denali looks like with these Anzo projectors:


I did a quick photo-chop to get an idea of what it would look like on my Yukon XL, plus plastidiping the center of the grille:


I figure if I got the black headlights, I'd also need to get blacked out or clear turns as well (most likely clear).

I don't want to color match, because then I'd have to color match everything else, and I don't want to spend that kind of money on this truck with the rust it already has on it.

If I do get plastidip, I'll probably do the lower valance as well.
