RE: Finaly installed the denali lights
I had to chip a little bit of the denali lights- the bulb housing of my tahoe were a little to big- this was only done for one ( eash housing ) . and for the hids..... i installed a relay just because alotof the members were having problems with there hids. so instead of waiting till the light mess up i went with the relay.

RE: Finaly installed the denali lights
OK - looking at your picture, I must say I have the exact same HID kit. It has a different sticker on it that says JDM and is supposedly made in Japan, but all the parts look identical, even the wire colors.
You got a good price as mine were $200 without installation. I have not had any issues so far without a relay.
Do your ballast emit a noise when on? I never had this on my BMWs, all with xenon. These ones have this low whinning noise...

RE: Finaly installed the denali lights
they are all the same kits in my own opinion...
working in a speed shop -- i noticed all the kits come from the same vendors. my uncle was able to to request his own labeling --- his own brand ..lolololol... but the best are the ones that come from japan so i was told.... but a dollars is a dollar---

If you have a utility knife, or anything, dremel etc it is simple. I used a utility knife on mine.
You will use your factory tail lights and wiring. Around the tail lights are little plastic prongs or notches that go into the denali bulb/light housings, you then twist them in place. On the denali tail housing where the bulbs go in, the recessed/cut outs for the prongs on the bulb holders are slightly different, smaller. You will just need to cut, scrape, etc a TINY bit away so you can get the prongs of the light bulb holder in the denali housing. It is simple, much easier to hold in your hands and understand, than try and describe! Just buy them,my 3 year old could have realized the problem. It is like a puzzle that has a piece that didnt fit perfectly, but can easily be adjusted. Took me about 15 minutes to get them both installed.
One other note, the Denali tails have the reverse light in the middle, Tahoe tails are on the bottom. Just make sure you plug them in the right holes in the denali tail light housing!

By the way, I got the denali tails of ebay for $80, and I know I have told a few others about this as well and they have purchased from the same seller.
I then sold my tahoe tails on ebay for nearly the exact same price!

Hey guys, I had a post a long time ago about what you had to modify to get the denali lights to work on our Tahoes.
