I originally tried using a set of aftermarket, clear lens housings. The low beam bucket area was much shallower than the factory housing. After a lot of cutting, it was getting a bit ridiculous. Basically, I ended up picking up a set of OEM style housings and basically used the clear lens from the other set onto the OEM style units. Overall labor wasn't worth the hassle but material cost was a 1/2 to a 1/3 the cost of Denali housings.
Not all Denali housings crack open easily as you see in the videos to swap the projector. My DEPO units I bought for my 01 Yukon were permasealed and after a lot of heating, the projector didn't want to budge. I could start cutting but did not want to ruin the housing in the process. I would have ended up opening the whole housing to clean debris. Working with permasealed lights is such a PITA.
I have a pair of the brackets you are referring to.

All those things. Denali reproduction OEM style housings are around $260 for the pair. The stockers are ~$50 for a pair.
