Take 2. The original LED from HID Bulbs failed and we try a new led bulb. This is a plug and play replacement for gmc yukon or sierra with HID Head lights. Don't buy a Factory bulb to replace the HID bulb. After trying to find a better solution to headlights on my Yukon Denali and the new HID replacement bulbs failing, I decided I would convert the hid headlights to led headlights. I read that no way they work in a projector style headlight as well as a hid bulb but I figured I would try it for myself. In this video I am going to show you how to replace the bulbs in your HID housing. This process should be close to the same on gmc yukon, chevrolet tahoe, gmc sierra and cadillac escalade. The replacement options for hid headlights in a yukon denali are expensive from the dealer and I wanted to try a couple different options. This conversion requires no cutting and can be returned to factory or stock in a matter of minutes. See for yourself if you think the hid or led is brighter on the yukon Denali. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

I have to say I'm so happy i found your videos. I've been wondering about this upgrade to my 15 Denali. I did the fog and most other lights over years ago but never touched the HIDs until i saw how easy this was. Thank you so much for posting this and making is so damn easy to see. Funny, my drivers side had less slack than the passenger. I gave it a little hank and got at least 2-3 inches of slack...just enough to make the swap easier. I found the plastic rings on the original HIDs to be harder to turn. Anyway, huge thank you for these videos. Love the new look and output.
Thank you. Glad it helped. Huge difference in my opinion
Always show the process, don't skip steps. that's why we subscribe to your videos. thanks for the new video, let us know how the lights work.
Ok. Thank you
Awesome video man was looking for matching leds for 17 Yukon Denali swapped mine out love the look
Thank you. Glad it could help
I changed my ats from HID to LED about a year ago. I did my research and found that Lastfit brand had the best reviews. Auxbeam also makes a decent LED Headlight bulb. I run auxbeam in my wife's 2020 sonic rs
They do make them for this but required additional wiring
Lasfit are great, but they don't make a version that's plug and play, don't like the idea of cutting wires to install lights when you can now get them without having to do so
I agree
Good evening, Travis. O yea! Big difference on the fans on the bulb fans. Heck yea! LED'S way to go. You'll have to let us know on a drive at night on how they are.
They seem to be a little brighter
@@TWAMotorsports that's what it's about. Seeing better a night. With those I got from headlight experts low and high beam and fog lights together. I can see about up to 200feet more. So glad I made the witch.
I agree
Hey Travis I've been a fan of your channel for quite some time now, I'm always the 1 that's trying to get the 1st comment in! LOL So a month ago, I bought a 2007 Yukon Denali in hopes that i could drop and trick out just like you do! But recently I've noticed a spike/delay in 3rd gear. 1st, 2nd, 4th etc. works fine. The symptom seems to go away when under load, it's got 150,000 miles 6.2 . I haven't serviced the tranny. With my luck, these used car lot probably already have. Any idea what it could be? Any suggestions would be appreciated . Thanks Travis and keep those videos coming.
I noticed that your rear stabilizer bar bushing looks to be worn. that would cause a clunk going over bumps on slow speeds.
They are like new
I reiterate man, just get a headlight retrofit. Since you just install these a month ago...start buying your pieces now and you can either put them together or a shop (Lightwerkz, Black Flame Customs, Ignited Retrofits, so many others) can. Buy a decent set of projectors (possibly with a threaded shaft for easy install and aiming), buy led or hid bulb kit (35 watts is all you need...think output as Bruce Lee punching you vs. your bulbs are street fighting), install, put headlight back together (don't feel comfortable? Have it done), and enjoy true road lighting without fail.
Not a fan of the aftermarket options available honestly
You might want to weld those back relocations
I bought a djm kit with shock extenders and trailing arm relocation.
My shock extenders completely fell off and the trailing arm relocation 3 out of 4 bolts fell out
Very dangerous and truck would wobble
Definitely dangerous which is why I checked them
If I am only dropping 2inches in rear do I need to do free travel mod?
No
Left and right bulb replacement?Maybe the drivers side bulb with the longer cord to plug in would have been easier to install on the passenger side?
Both have the same amount of lead
Get LASFIT LED I bought some back in april 2019 we’re in January 2023 now they still work
Not a plug and play swap on hid with lasfit
Another good video. I received a pair of gloves in something I ordered similar to the white ones you were wearing, I really like that style glove but cannot find where to order them. Ordered some but they were a lot thicker 🤔. ✌🏻
Yeah they barely fit on my hands. Lol
I couldn’t find a video on changing the high beams on these gen vehicles. Is there just another dust cap below the low beams?
Yes and I made a video on that with fog lights also
Just caught your video…very informative! QUESTION: stock rims on the Denali or after/market??? I have 2020 Yukon SLT…seriously considering changing stock 275/50R/22 chrome rims to 20” or even 18” rims! Do not like the small area of sidewalls on present setup…ANY SUGGESTIONS…hoping to increase sidewall height from rim to street surface! John “Southern-Louisiana”
These are stock 22s. I like the look so generally stick with 22s on these.
What? No cuts! When i did mine i ended up all cut getting the locks off! 😆 🤣
No cuts
Are the drl that bright even when the lights are on,If so show was it done ?
Same as before
The link for the license plate bulb are saying that they are not for a 2015 Yukon Xl Slt do u have any other ones that you recommend in there place?
License plate should be correct
Great video as always
Thanks Daniel
Thanks
You're welcome
How are the L.E.D.s holding up? do you recommend them? :)
Sold it but no issues
Is there a way to adjust left or right
Don't think so
How are these holding up?
Good. Actually sold ot a while back though
You do so many of these videos you should probably buy a light meter.
You're probably right
(12:08 minutes later...) ...smh.
Algorithm.
👍
had this issue with mine aswell. kept buring out different leds. finally left the dust caps off and they are still going strong. i believe they are loud because they need airflow
Could be right
I just changed mine to OSRAM XENARC NIGHT BREAKER LASER D3S for my 16 Yukon denali. Im happy with the 4300K color and with the results. I think HID is much better than LED.
I was way happier with my led but that's just me
Great video 👍 How are those new bulbs holding up? Are they still working? I got some led conversion bulbs too for my truck but it’s a different brand than yours
This time they still work.
Did the same side Tail light go out as well? I have a 15 Denali and the drivers side head and tail light goes out. Flip the auto to manual switch and they will turn back on for 2-5 mins then shut off again? Any thoughts?
Bad tail light
Thanks, ill have to did into it. That's what I was thinking.
Circuit board medics. Look them up
I did mine and the cable came out longer than that was easy to connect maybe if u tug on it a little more more cable will come out the headlight
I did but thought I was getting a little rough on the wires.
@Twamotorsports
Thank you for all the helpful videos!
How have the second set of leds held up? Also i recently installed a leveling kit on my 16 yukon and need to adjust my headlights down
So far they are still working but sold it about a year ago
I'm just getting home from work and settled in and going to tune in to your video.. first thing I noticed is your wheel house is neat and organized again..
Thank you Keith. Have a great night
@@TWAMotorsports nice video of the LEDs install... My wife made a comment on how you and I are a like how we work on our vehicles... Latex gloves and tools we need to do a job layed out on a micro towel nice and neat hahaha.. welcome to OCD.. 👍
Yeah. Its a problem. Lol
Hey Travis; just curious how these lights have held up? I just bought a ‘20 yukon & I’m change’n all lights, can’t stand the “dingy” look
Still doing great
HID’s are not better. Proven.
Which is why I went led
I also went with Diode Dynamics HID's when I thought the original set was getting dim. I was sorely disappointed with the results. I have Lasfit LED fog bulbs and they BLOW AWAY my HID headlight bulb. It's almost pathetic how dim my HID's are. I feel like there must be something wrong with the HID ballast for them to be as dim as they are.
But I'll be ordering the Lasfit LED headlight conversion for our 17 Denali. Ours is also Emerald. Beautiful color.
Definitely an upgrade going to led
👋🏾 Watched your videos before I found & bought my 2018 Yukon Denali in March 2023 for my birthday. My OEM lights are “Ok” but I’m back checking out some aftermarket mods videos and wanted to see which manufacturer you preferred now that some time has passed. Thanks again!
These over the first go
The issue is the stock projector housing for the HIDs - they suck no matter what you put in them. First I tried new HID bulbs, and then LED 3DS bulbs made to fit the HID connection. Neither are as bright as the LEDs in my fogs or high beams. The LEDs are slightly better, and don't have to warm up which gives them the edge IMO. It is also important to rotate them to avoid the lower center dark spot from the LED bulb blade; I adjusted them a few times until I got it right. Aftermarket H11 LEDs in stock halogen housings have a much better improvement...
I agree with that
I think the problem people are having is, they are most likely installed bulbs with a higher wattage that the standard 35 that most vehicles are set up for from the factory
Could be
That OBS bed looks pretty good in the background there.
Thank you. It does look good.
One time I heard something slightly rattling in the back and my spare had come loose just enough to make that noise. Maybe worth a look.
Thank you. I will check that
Hi Travis, wasn't sure how to contact you but I have a question about the belltech front struts you use on the lowering videos, do you bottom out the strut nut to the end of the threads or do you have a torque spec. when installing back in the spring, can't seem to get a correct answer from others. Thanks, keep the videos coming.
Generally they bottom out
@@TWAMotorsports Thank you. That's what I thought, had an issue with one.
The new bulbs will fall same as the old, I tested both of them, these type of leds do like heat, if you live in cold areas buy them, otherwise avoid them
Interesting. We will try them and see. Probably right though
Wait…. Those LEDs like Heat? But if yo live in a cold area buy them? I don’t get it.
I have had no issues
With projector headlights, you need a 360 degree LED bulb. I ordered a set of Light Moses 360 LED bulbs from Amazon. The beam doesn't look quite normal with the blade style LEDs as shown in this video. The reason LED bulbs fail so much on these Chevys is probably because of the enclosed space you have to install the bulbs. Doesn't allow for normal cooling.
How are the ones you bought?
@@TWAMotorsports it’s too soon to tell but I’m wondering if there would be a way to modify that dust cap to allow better cooling. I did have a prev pair fail after 10 months. A different brand though. The light pattern is perfect though and very bright.
I'm sure you could but they would draw moisture
@paperex5872 can I ask which model of the Moses 360 led you got? And what vehicle are the on? Thanks
@@jfkjr111 it’s the 90w version of the 360 degree leds. 2015 Tahoe.
How’s the new lights working?
Great so far
@@TWAMotorsports looking at changing my daughters out on her Jeep, hid’s out for the 2nd time, 🤦♂️
So far so good here
Did these match the DRL color wise?
Very close
@@TWAMotorsports Any issues with them? Hopefully not I just ordered a pair for my Denali lol:)
So far no.
@@TWAMotorsports Did the fog lights match these D3S bulbs? May just have to order those too if they match 100% I'm running VLED's 5K in the fogs and they match the DRL's however VLED doesn't make a plug and play D3S bulb and I do not want to bypass the HID ballast.
They seem to match well also
