Hi, new to forum, amazing info thanks! Apologies in advance for the laundry list of questions!
I really like how the Delta 10X xenon off-road light bar look on my Hummer H2 (not to mention it was my biggest budget H2 accessory back when) and has been there mainly (sadly) as a design element for the last 15 years! The old seals are giving up as moisture now enters most of the individual lamps after a car wash. Found this forum to learn how to fix / reseal the lights — and read Virgil's opinion of Delta lights instead.. lol
So instead may I ask:
1. any recommendations / ideas to improve or even replace them if possible? New bulb / LED / entire new lamps? (There are 8 lamps, so budget has to be realistic…). The aluminum roof/light bar is stock GM Hummer & cut to the 60 series Delta lights housing dimensions/back housing curvature — so any replacement lights housing should be the identical size/dimensions (Not feasible to modify the existing aluminum roof bar). Or should I just reseal them up?
2. I bought Delta (01-1479-50X) 60H Series 5.4" X 3" back up xenon lights, because they matched the front off-road lights (again alas, prior to finding this forum). To use them as rear-off-road lights, should I mount them on top of the roof rack, or below the tires (thinking of using Nilight 90046B tow hitch light brackets)?
3. From reading here, are best choices for my 2004 Hummer H2 :
- Headlights upgrade to Philips 9007 XtremeVision Upgrade?
- Backup / brake /turn signals upgrade to Sylvania Zevo 3157 white LED?
- DRL upgrade to Zevo 4114? (assuming I can cleanup the old light housing)
4. always wanted angel eyes headlights
and found a $174 external XKchrome 7" halo rings on amazon... would they just look too stupid on my stock headlights?
5. or are there any "best choice" smoke/black 7" headlights with white Halo/Angel Eyes worth upgrading to? Saw some $159 pairs on amazon Audexen branded with 1100+ 4.5 stars? (smoke that matches my black magic brushguard off-road lights would be nice!).
6. Matching black/smoke with Halo DRL replacements would be amazing, but H2's are weird 4-3/4" DRLs that are not easy to replace correctly.
This is my baby and our family's forever truck. To everyone willing to share advice and opinions, thank you in advance!
