Great! .....look forward to it. Out of curiosity, where did you get your Escalade lights & how much?

Any update available yet? What will it take to make these work? What if you just do not hookup the Dark Green wire, ZX?

Has anybody bought the tail lamps? And if so, have you just tried plugging in and see what happens?

I'm trying to find a pair of used ones for around $250-$300; so far no luck. If nothing comes available by the end of the month I'm going to order new off GMpartsdirect ($450 vs. $650 dealer). Based on the wiring info ZX provided earlier I'm sure I can get it to work. All I anticipate having to do is cut the connector off the Tahoe harness and splice it into the Esky harness. As far as the 6th wire goes I'm guessing it is for the side LED's (park lamps) integrated into the Esky tail light - so if that's the case I would need to figure out why the Esky has a separate circuit for it and replicate something or just tap it into the 12V for the park lights.

Call SMM Enterprises Inc. they can get them most likely, www.gosmm.com from GM directly at discount...
