know this is the truck forum, but there is alot more volume in this place. what foglight bulbs can I get that would match the headlights on a 2017 yukon denali?? I can't believe on a 70k SUV my '16 all-terrain has better headlights and foglights....and they actually match, unlike the denali.

5000k bulbs would match the color, but their in a reflector housing which is going to blind oncoming traffic with LEDs or HIDs.

Sorry I am new to the Yukon Denali we just picked up a 2017 for my wife.

 

Are there good options in addition to the options mentioned above that will give more usable light on the road? I am after increased visibility over the matching HID color.

I purchased these for my Yukon Denali fogs. Well worth the cost. Direct replacement and 100% usable/effective light.

I've heard really good things about these fog lights, even the equivalent models offered for other truck platforms.  Although they're only 1200 Lumens each, like you said the housing and projector lense creates light output that is more usable/affective than the stock fog light assemblies or possibly moreso than just throwing in aftermarket "4000 LM" LED bulbs into the factory housing.

 

Would love to see some night time pictures of how these fogs look in your Yukon Denali!  With and without headlights to see how well they match the stock headlights and from inside the car viewing the "usable light output" pattern would be very beneficial for those of us considering these fog lights.

Here are some photos from both within the vehicle and outside for comparison. Both with just fogs and then fogs and headlights. I'll try to distinguish but am posting from my phone so we'll see how this goes...  

 

 

First three Inside with fogs only. Next three inside fogs and headlights. Last two outside with fogs only so you can see the cutoff and side throw...

This shows the crisp cutoff from having effective projectors focusing the beams. You can see the flicker...4944c3619f48957e7a466ca124f08877.jpg5272a7306a3ceb8f038cc1970c028b42.jpgb124502ebb504a43f4641186263e9c8f.jpg9bc4649a69909836f3f40e8d476ce10e.jpg

Just what I was looking for, thanks for posting!

 

The lights look great and they match the stock LED and HID lighting very well.  You can definitely tell that the throw of the light pattern from the projector is much wider than the factory fog light housing.

I was told by rep at The Retro Source that they (morimoto XB LED Fog lights) will fit the 17 Yukon Denali but you need to make a slight adjustment on the harness (shave it with a file) so that it will make a solid connection.  The actual housing will fit flush with no issues but you need to do a slight mod.

 

I can tell you that i did this update on my Sierra and the morimoto LED fog lights blew away the stock halogen fog lights.

 

I plan on doing this next week to 17 Yukon.

To be honest... you don't even have to modify. I hooked them up to test and it was a tight connection. I have just been too lazy to get back under there and file the plastic notch and everything has been fine. It's still a positive/secure connection. Outside of that, everything fits completely as stock on my Yukon XL Denali. Well worth it IMO compared to alternatives given the precise light output.

 

Btw... I'm running Morimoto XB 6500k HIDs in the low beam for reference.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
