I bought mine from xtralights.com for my 07 tahoe. The onesI have is the 6000k. Their kitsare made with the digital technology so the ballast areslim. They are bit pricy andthey are very good in customer service. You can also chat with them online through msn or yahoo.


Thanks

I bought the 6000K kit from xenonrider.com. The installation was easy and I didn't have to remove anything other than the two 10mm bolts that hold the headlight assembly in. The lights are brighter than the stock when you look at them, but the usable light is not as good as the PIAA "Star White" (3800k) bulbs I had in my '04 Tahoe. I am actually considering buying those again for my '07. The PIAA's don't look as cool, but they throw much more light on the road which is most important to me. Just a heads up to anyone considering a purchase.

I'll post some pics if I decide to make the switch. Cheers!

I also bought the 6000k H11 kit from Xenonrider for my 07. I upgraded to the ultra slim ballasts. The problem I had was that I had to dremel down the little 3 fingers of the new H11 bulb to get it to fit in the headlamp. So it wasn't plug and play. It was dremel, plug and play. I informed Joesph of the problem and he said that for some vehicles, the "fitment" is too large.

Kind of disappointing, but the whole kit was only 175 shipped (with the upgrade to slim ballasts) via his Ebay site. Note if you go with the slim ballasts, what is not shown in the pic is a small black box (about 3/4" square x 1.5 in long) in the middle of the dongle to the new bulbs. The slim ballasts do NOT come with a holder but it was so thin and small, it was easy to mount up.

I didn't have any issues with fitiment and there was plenty of room for the ballasts, I'm just a little dissappointed in the overall outcome. Like I said, I think I'm going to try the PIAA upgrade bulbs and see if I like that better. I upgraded the low, high, and fog lamps on my 04 'hoe and it was like friggin' day time when I hit the high beams (i also added the box that allows the high & low beams to fire together).

Little update. I'm getting more used to the HIDs. I still think they have a little less "useable" light than the non HID bulbs, but they look very cool. I really like the way they "warm up" when you first turn them on. My wife's Lexus does the same thing.

So for anyone considering this upgrade, and you don't mind a liitle "form over function", it's a good deal. Next are the fog lights.....

Here's some pics of the 6000k's compared to my wife's stock Lexus xenons. Big difference!

Here's a pic of before and after 6000k conversion of stock Tahoe headlamps. The after side also has demon eye halos installed and a chrome bulb that turn amber when lit:
