Kevy and I are looking at getting an HID Projector retrofit done to my Yukon.Of course, we could do it ourselves, but would rather not. Does anyone know of a place that will do custom retrofits?
what year is it? it's super easy on a 4 bulb system femme, especially on a GM. just pull the 2 rods that hold the headlight housing in, unplug your lights, remove the old housings pop the new housings, find a nice spot for your ballasts and plug them in. no tools required...plug and play. if you go with halo projectors there will be some wiring for the "angel eyes".Kevy and I are looking at getting an HID Projector retrofit done to my Yukon.Of course, we could do it ourselves, but would rather not.

Sorry! I wasn't very clear, we are looking at having someone retrofit my stock headlights to an HiD set up with the proper projectors etc. but the only place I really found was Black Flame Customs. They are located in the states and charge $1,000!!! I just about had the baby when I read that! Lol I would like to save some scratch and buy some aftermarkets vs having mine retrofitted and painted, but I haven't really found any great reviews on any of them? Do you have a brand you recommend? It's a 2010 Yukon Denali.what year is it? it's super easy on a 4 bulb system femme, especially on a GM. just pull the 2 rods that hold the headlight housing in, unplug your lights, remove the old housings pop the new housings, find a nice spot for your ballasts and plug them in. no tools required...plug and play. if you go with halo projectors there will be some wiring for the "angel eyes".

I'm not up on the 2010 headlight system, my pop has a new yukon so I'll go and have a look. it starts getting technical when your daytime running lights are a part of your headlight system, there has to be wiring done so they will work. my GM has separate DRL's so it is about as easy as it gets for installation of a complete HID kit. they are probably correct in their retrofit pricing if they have to do the relays and wiring for the DRL system, mine was around 600 for the complete kit (ballasts, bulbs, and projectors) and I did the install myself. you can guarantee they will be done right if you go the custom install route, as I mentioned before stay away from the cheap ebay crap. you get what you pay for....and remember, any vehicle that doesn't come from the factory with HID's is illegal in BC right now.Sorry!

The lights in the new GMC's don't come out as easy as the older series by just pulling the pin.....there is a lot more involved to removing these lightsI'm not up on the 2010 headlight system, my pop has a new yukon so I'll go and have a look. it starts getting technical when your daytime running lights are a part of your headlight system, there has to be wiring done so they will work. my GM has separate DRL's so it is about as easy as it gets for installation of a complete HID kit. they are probably correct in their retrofit pricing if they have to do the relays and wiring for the DRL system, mine was around 600 for the complete kit (ballasts, bulbs, and projectors) and I did the install myself. you can guarantee they will be done right if you go the custom install route, as I mentioned before stay away from the cheap ebay crap. you get what you pay for....and remember, any vehicle that doesn't come from the factory with HID's is illegal in BC right now.
like I said, I'm not familiar with the setup on the newer GM stuff. it must have been way too easy before....The lights in the new GMC's don't come out as easy as the older series by just pulling the pin.....there is a lot more involved to removing these lights
I'm hoping we (by that I mean Kevin and Terry) can find a good video on YouTube, here's hoping! LolThe lights in the new GMC's don't come out as easy as the older series by just pulling the pin.....there is a lot more involved to removing these lights
