Yukon Headlight Retrofit..... DONE!!

[Sierkonblazer]

Finally... Well, maybe not completely done. Im still trying to figure out a decent way to make a new shroud. For now, these Panamera's will work. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. Had a few oopsies along the way, but I figured I would, so I prepared for them. One major one was I put the projector in upside down. I figured the "brow" for the high beams would go on top (which is wher thee solenoid is), so I installed, glued only half of the projector into the reflector bowl, then found out during a test fit and fire that it was upside down.. I forgot that the convex lenses refract the light in opposite directions.. But it ws nothing a little Dremeling couldnt fix. Other than that, the only issue I currently have is the wiring harness sent from TRS has the high/low beams backwards. Andrew at TRS dropped a new harness in the mail yesterday when I called him, no questions asked, so I definitely praise their legendary customer service.
The Trailblazer is definitely next for a retrofit, after doing this one. Night and day difference over the stock POS headlights.....

That looks amazing, i'm sure even more so from the drivers seat at night!

Did you go with one of the kits from TRS?
And did you use aftermarket lights for the install?
I'm trying to figure out what all I need in order to give this a try. I hate the stock lights on my Denali.

Wow nice, Im getting a retro soon.

Are you in Austin? I see the Nyle Maxwell plate

Awesome job there Steve!!!

What projector did you use?
And I assume the DRLs were sacrificed to the retro gods.

i really like how big that lens is... did I understand you that they came off a Porsche Panamera?

Btw, have a look at this retro done with the same Panamera shrouds you're using: http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/sho...port-amp-More!&p=451310&viewfull=1#post451310

I mention it cause the led halos would make for a good way to reclaim drl functionality.

You can get an angel eye ring that is large enough to light the shroud to have the DRL look

Mr DEVO ... call lightworkz and ask them to do it on a set of aftermarket clones.
They specialize in doing retrofits without the vehicle present (they align relative to the oem halogen beam).

My view is that customlightz is more qualified for specialized high end retrofits, lightworkz is great for more simple retros like the one above.
