Stock vs. Denali vs. HID lights
I'm getting ready to put a flowmaster on and dual it out, and ordered the fender flares today.
Now the question at hand is, I have stock headlights, should I leave them as-is, get HyperWhite bulbs ($40), or replace the entire headunit and get the Denali Halogen projector lights ($320)?
It'd look like this with the Denali lights:

What do you guys have, and what will make the largest difference and look the best? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Stock vs. Denali vs. HID lights
Could you get some day pics of the housing under the hood?
What HID kit did you get and where from?
How did you mount the ballasts? Pics?
Thanks....I'm seriously thinking about doing this on my '01 sierra, would like to see how others did it up

Sweet pics...love the look. I'm having a hard time seeing the HID's at night; your pics helped a lot. Nice to see how they look installed and on a truck similar to mine.

Re: Stock vs. Denali vs. HID lights
If your like me and dont want to spend the $ for some denali headlights you can take out the corner lenses, and get some aftermarket bulbs. I plan on getting the denali lights one day, but for now i'm happy with the all chrome-billet front end of my truck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
