so the thing to do is buy the clear diamond cut headlights and do the retrofit.....pretty gay. Somebody needs to manufacture a quality projector headlight for our trucks.

lowryder99 · 01-03-2008, 02:25 PM

Yea, unfortunately most people don't care that much about good quality lighting. To properly engineer and set up a set of projector fsc lights that were water proof would probably be upwards of 1000-1200 bucks a set with the ballasts and bulbs...not to many people would pay that so no one really wants to produce it.

atenisplyr · 01-03-2008, 02:27 PM

Seems to me someone simply needs to engineer the headlight assy. Why bother with a full setup when you can get bulbs and ballasts from Mike?

I'm still interested in see what Mike has to say about this.

atenisplyr · 01-03-2008, 02:44 PM

Mike,

BTW...Just heard I'm getting paid tomorrow. Let's do it!!!

RailinChevy · 01-03-2008, 06:08 PM

What would an 8000k kit come out to shipped to 78748?? 2008 Chevy Tahoe would also like to put HID on the bottom fog lights. What would you recommend??

ikon · 01-03-2008, 06:11 PM

8000k = youre driving in smurf land...

I would like to know this too.

Theyll work but theyre technically Halogen Projectors...

Here are some cutoff pics from a guys denali over on GMFS.

BADLANDER · 01-03-2008, 07:22 PM

sweet! that looks good enough for me!

lowryder99 · 01-03-2008, 09:52 PM

That's not really a cut off to be honest. The dudes like what? 15 feet from the wall haha....Denali projectors while a smidge better are still a reflector based housing with no proper cut off shield. Like I said they are better...but it's still not the "proper" way to do it.

Why would someone go to all the trouble of retrofitting rather than just buy a PNP kit? One is to reduce glare, and the other is to get more light output with no glare and a proper cut off pattern.

This is what proper cut off looks like

Now, DON'T get me wrong, I don't think Mike's kits are bad at all, heck I run one in my truck, but I am in the process of doing a retrofit, I personally think as long as you get a decent color rating (6k or under) and make sure your headlights are aimed properly the glare won't be that bad and you will definately get better vision that with a standard halogen bulb. I think anyone that buys one of Mikes kits will be very very happy with it. His customer service is great and his kits are of good quality.

The retrofit is just for the diehards out there that have to have the absolute best of the best.

most definitely, sold to a few with OEM denali projectors. like lowryder said, its not a awesome-drop-jaw-cutoff line but it beats the crap out of an ebay projector. i mean id be 100% happy with them no questions asked, and it'll look great. thanks for the compliments lowryder!

BADLANDER · 01-06-2008, 06:21 PM

well i just picked up a set of denali headlights off ebay, oem ones, just need to fix the mounting brackets on them and ill have to get a hold of you and just get some 9005 bulbs

ikon · 01-06-2008, 06:27 PM

ebay projector....

mikemjohnson · 01-07-2008, 12:22 AM

link? those are amazing as ebay projectors go...

atenisplyr · 01-07-2008, 06:30 AM

IKON.....Do those projectors have Mike's kit in them or does it have those crappy ebay bulbs?

mikemjohnson · 01-07-2008, 07:20 AM

those projectors do not have my kits in them, but those appear to be real HIDs in there

atenisplyr · 01-07-2008, 07:22 AM

I'd rather have your kits in. BTW, those lights I emailed you about http://www.hidpros.com/chevroletgmc-...hts-p-535.html
Are made by APC and they are glass. I would assume they are made to OEM specs. Still waiting to hear back from their customer service. I'm excited about the 9005 and 9006 kits. Will be nice to see again!!!

This looks like a great deal! Posting so I can have it in my CP, for later reference!

I don't think that's a retrofit, if it was I would be pissed. At least the light isn't scattered but it's still kind of a weird pattern.
