I know hey. About 100ft light output on each side. I want to do that retro to my sierra, just buy the aftermarket denali lights, pop them open, and shove some tsx's in there or the ls430. The tsx's give you more of a likght flicker, going from blue to purple to hyper white, while the ls430's are just for pure light output. Takes about 3 hours to do a retro. You already have the projectors mounted in, just take the old ones out, and put in some new ones.

First bold: The light flicker that you see is when your vehicle is lower then the beam cut off from the projector. Have you ever been driving at or infront of a car with HID's and see the light change color, thats what the flicker is. TSX's are known for the beautiful color flicker. Basically at the cutoff ____/----- at the top part is where the flicker is usually its either hyper white, blue or purple.

And as for the headlights you want, I have those ones. They are a one piece, and there is only one spot for the turn signal bulb, but our trucks have 2, so you'd have to put a resistor on one bulb to trick the computer into thinking that there is one there. Pretty much with those ones, it eliminates the turn signal housing.

That woud be crazy. Look so cool too. But, then you have to wire up that solenoid for the high beam, and pay more money for a bi-xenon projector. Be a bitch to do, but would look AMAZING

yea NO ONE would have the same set as me!!!!


i thought you couldnt switch from high to low on an HID kit??? why would i need that solenoid?

what if i just get either one of the projectors you listed above and just install a HID kit and go from that?
