What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Rocket Man]

Yes, they did plug right in with no taping or cutting anything. However, I'm not running them as fogs, I am running them as driving lights, so I need to modify the wiring so they'll come on with the high beams.

As I mentioned above, I'm not a fan of "piercing" modifications like Scotch-loks, so I'm not going with the Fleece unit.

Cut, solder and use heat shrink tubing with the type that has glue inside that seals/waterproofs with a heat gun. It’s the only way I do wiring on my rigs. I’m not taking any chances on water getting inside, I hate troubleshooting crappy wiring jobs that let water intrude. I’ve done a ton of electrical modifications over the years and mine have never failed.

Thanks for the suggestions, which happen to be the way I already do connections and terminations.

I suppose I need to clarify further, as I'm talking about the schematics of the triggering circuitry, not the physical wiring itself.

I have my fogs setup as driving lights as well. I used bi-led projectors, so they work as normal fogs, but when I hit high beam, they turn on if off and activat high. I just tapped into the head headlight wiring right above it. high beam wire with a big diode inline.

saved all the finding relays and stuff. Just one wire down to the flapper solenoid and power wire.

That's a neat setup! For reference, what bi-LED projectors did you use?

it's been a few years. so sure there's better now. these were just priced well and water proof that I thought I could build mounts for.


very happy with the light output. but some of today's you can change from white to yellow for foggy nights. I'd probably try some of those if I was to do it now.


. maybe something from this place.

I ran some fogs like those before in the past, the ss3's blow those out of the water literally

I do get the feeling the diode dynamic fogs are good and plug and play. really nice setup. pricey but plug and play make it worth it for most. I had to build brackets and the adjustment is a bit fiddly but under 100$ at the time.

but I've not seen them in person for light output. I thought I read they are a true fixed fog light pattern, not really a driving light? and I just like the bi led setup for more throw down the road on high. the mishimoto headlights left a lot to be desired as far as light output alone. my fog lights on high output more light then my headlights do by a good amount.

As delivered, correct. Which is why I did the lens swap.

diode dynamics makes them in both spot or fog output, the fog output is a true oval pattern which is why I like them in dark area's I can see probably a 100ft on either side of the road.
great for both fog & side visibility, animals, people, vehicles on the side of the road.

I tried shopping around for anything even remotely comparable, with a fog pattern and high lumens. The problem is most cheaper lights either do not give the information or the output is a pittance by comparison, name brand wise the closest competitor is rigid with a slightly lower output but pretty much the same price, morimoto has lower output and only 5k color from what I remember and I believe the light pattern is more circular, not a wide pattern (I think they offer a bi-led)
