W8TVI's 2000 Yukon XL SLT

[W8TVI]

Yea, buy another set of stock lights lol. Common problem the lens falling off. Do what I did bake them open remove the shroud and add extra sealant when installing the lens and they're good forever.

I keep reading the aftermarket copies tend to shake.
Are there a good set that I don't know about?

Keep your brackets form your old ones. Or find a set at a junk yard for pennies. They clip onto the bracket, not a one piece light

Just ordered a set of DEPO branded fog lights off eBay. If they turn out to be the right ones, I'll post a link to the seller.

The reason I bought this set, was the entire light lights up for parking lights, not just the brake light area like most sets for our trucks do, while still keeping separate brake and turn signals.

The general theme I've been trying to follow with upgrades I've been doing is a "stock" look.
Try to make it look like it might look if the GMT800 platform was being built today.
The swtichbacks work like the new Yukon DRL/turn signal LED loop, the headlights are Denali copies, etc.

Thats exactly what I wanna do, I have the bumper lights on order, and then going to gut and rewire, and hope!

So I just bought these on Amazon:

Also have a new $20 8" subwoofer to tide me over until I can drop another $500 on the truck to put a proper amp and sub in it.
Monday I'm getting a new set of Alpines in the doors.

Turns out that subwoofer is too deep to fit in the stock box, and it is a piece of crap. The stupid thing buzzed with the thing not even at half volume, and the bass turned down low.
The 17 year old stock speaker at least waited until I got the radio over half volume before it started buzzing.

I wasn't expecting much from a $20 subwoofer, but I was at least expecting it to sound better than the worn out speaker, and perhaps last a couple of months.

So Monday I am going to have my local stereo place put in the amp and a sub box (pair of 10" subs) when they do the door speakers.

When I went to there today, I asked how much extra it would be to upgrade to dual 12" subs, and it was only an extra $40, so I went for it.

So I got 4 Alpine SPS610 speakers (one for each door), a pair of Alpine SWA12 12" subs in a ported box, and an Alpine MRV-M500 to run it all.

I had them take out the factory sub box, and put the new amp in its place (you can see the light through the factory sub grille).
Now my wallet is $1000 lighter, but I know the the install is done properly, and if something goes wrong, I know who to call.

Nice, how does it sound ?
One amp for all or just the subs ?

Sounds great!

I didn't watch him do the install, but from reading the manual, it's a mono amp, so it is running the two subs.

My guess too . Door speakers run off the deck

 

[Mr. 960]

what is a good LED light to put in the low beam of the projector style Denali lights? I have OEM ones and am still running the original halogen bulbs.
