Morimoto plates

[BOO5TED]

When you get a projector, print it out, cut it, and see if it fits around the projector. If it does could save you some time, if not all you wasted is a piece of paper.

very true, i was going to trace the projector anyway, but this may save me some time.

Glad the projectors made it. I'm anxious to see what they look like just because of the template there haha.

Wouldn't every computer/printer print the image out at a different size? I haven't used a printer in years so I might be wrong...

 

[DaJokr]

Just out of freakishly morbid curiosity...has anyone put a morimoto mini or matchbox in place of the high beam in the Denali housings? Looks like there just might be enough room.

Also contemplating the matchbox projectors for my fogs. They would be a wonderful addition for my 3000k bulbs

Matchboxs are too big for sierra fogs

Party pooper :/

Back to the drawing board. Damn, I've been bit by the project tor bug.

 

[Ginger]

people only really run projectors in the denalis.

no one takes the time for anything else, most other projectors are ebay aftermarket ricer jobs with halos

I've got a set of Blazer 2" projectors with some 3K hids in them.

Have them on the GMC now.

I test fitted and they seemed to stick out past my grille a bit. Hope that can be fixed with some aiming.

 

[DaJokr]

Ok, here's the issue. Seems lots of guys here have these Denali lights, so maybe I'm missing something. Anyone's lights do this when you first put them in? Or do they still do it?

Compare to stock

Maybe a mod could repost this if it would get more attention elsewhere.

Completely normal, denalis use a different grille, so they're a bit larger.

So they are gonnabe like that permanently then huh. Guess I better get used to it.

 

[BOO5TED]

Yep, the grille is different and also because of the projector the housing is a bit longer in the front vs the regular Sierra and Yukon housings.

 

[DaJokr]

I guess it's not THAT noticeable. It's just cause I see it it will bug me i guess. Positive thoughts...über lights in proper housings lol

 

[DaJokr]

Well I have them installed now. HIRs in the High beams. holy shit are they awesome! Waaaay better then stock. The projectors however with a 6k bulb at 35w are crap. I'm probably going to either throw the halogen back in or throw a 55w ballast on until ginger is done with the project tors and has some plates made.

 

[Ginger]

what are these HIR's you talk about lol

i should be working on the plates today, i kept forgetting them in my tool box at my shop.

 

[DaJokr]

Halogen infrared. HIR Headlights 9011 9012 bulbs

 

[DaJokr]

While I'm waiting for the plates and projectors, I have a question. Am I better off using a halogen bulb in the projector for now? I ask because I have a 6k on a 35w ballast and I can't see a thing. I have a pair of 55w ballast I could try to get the light whiter. Might also be mis aligned though, or a contributing factor. Ideas or suggestions?

 

[Ginger]

when i ran the factory projector i ran my 35w 6k lights. and they were pretty decent.

Could be many things. Could be misaligned, could be burnt and cracked projector bowls ( pretty common ) and that will heavily affect output. One of mine had a burnt bowl and you couldnt see shit with them on.
