There are numerous lighting upgrades on the market for SUVs, but most are strictly cosmetic, and very few offer form and function. General Motors, however, is presently offering upgraded projector lights for the Yukon Denali, and HIDS4less.com, a leader in the aftermarket HID market, has additional applications that work in conjunction with those Denali projector lights.
The company offers a Denali light assembly upgrade with its HID kit that fits standard GMC Yukons and Sierras. The lights come complete with HID units already installed, HID ballasts, and all OE connectors. Simply connect and go.
