Anzo headlight U Bar lights with HID projector help?

wifeysdenali · December 13, 2014

So I have an 08 Sierra denali, with aftermarket hid, I purchased a pair of black U bar anzo projector lights and ordered the correct hid bulbs. Has anyone installed these. I ask because the low beam projector is somewhat sealed and not sure if I just cut the rubber cover to put the hid bulb in or if theres a better way? Thanks a lot for any help

So new question, installed the lights and they look phenomenal! But the HID bulbs cause the cutoff to be way too low to be useable at night, they are adjusted as high as possible. Anyone with experience with this. I hate to take out the hid's and just run regular bulbs. Are Led bulbs an option, or maybe same issue?

I am in the same boat of lackluster light output due to projector adjustment. I just installed these and have them as hi as I can go the adjusters just spin now.... guess I have to put a call into anzo.

I am also interested in putting HiDS in. What company did you go with and what size are they now for the anzos?

Also were you able to get the installation instructions pdf to open?

Well from what I understand the hids are causing the problem i guess. I was hoping if I put the halogen bulbs back in that they would work better. I didn't try to open the pdf.

Ok so I took the hids out and used regular bulbs and its still way to low to drive safely at night. Sent them a message but no response yet, not sure what to do from here. The lights look great but unusable. Anyone know of an economical place to mail the lights to and get good hid projectors installed into these Ubar lights?

DIY, but use companies like The Retrofit Source (TRS). I installed projectors into stock replacement headlamps and they havent failed me yet, going on 3 years.

Thanks for the reply! Currently, my distributor got me a new set, they get installed weds. So hopefully these will do the trick. I am going to put the hid's back in too, when talking to the anzo customer service rep, he said where it says non hid compatible, its mostly just a legal issue. So thats the route I'm doing now, if it doesn't work, well I don't know...

How do they look?

Could you open up the anzo's and put in some aftermarket projectors from TRS if the swap doesnt fix it?

From what I understand, if the headlights did not come from the factory they are not legal. But, if you swap to another factory standard projector or similar then most inspections wont notice or care typically.

I am planning to put together a long post about my projector retrofit soon with lots of pictures.
