Not yet, but I went ahead and ordered the LEDs yesterday (it's an itch I just have to scratch!).......... should be able to update in a couple of weeks.

This is very hard to research from an office but I have taken a moment and hear is what I can offer for now.
The Escalade (called a Z75) has a tail lamp circuit board that is built into the lamp assembly, the Tahoe does not have this curcuit.
The Yellow, Yellow/Black and/or Dark Green wires for the stop lamps and turn signals.
Black wire is ground.
Brown wire is for side markers (park) lamps.
Back-up lamp wire is Light Green.
The wire colors are the same on Tahoe and Escalade, there is a possiblity that the Dark Green wire is not found on the Tahoe.

I was wondering if you still have access to the Tahoe/Escalade wiring diagrams. I received my esky taillights today and have determined the following functions:
Escalade Lights:
Yellow -rumored to be lamp out return
Blue - Stop/Turn
Black - Ground
Brown - Park/Side Marker
Dark Green with Orange stripe - Reverse
Pink with Black stripe - unknown -
Tahoe Lights:
Light Green - Reverse
Brown - Park/Side Marker
Black - Ground
Blue - Stop
Yellow -Turn & Hazard Flasher
Can you tell me what the function is of the yellow wire present in both the Tahoe & Escalade lights? (possibly a feedback for lamp burn out detection?) And, what is the purpose of the Pink with Black stripe wire on the Escalade lights? I was able to verify all of the above with a DVM & a 9v battery (i.e., the lightswork without either the yellow or pink/black connected).
Thanks in advance....

Konasmrz thanks for the constant updates. Ihavebeenfollowing this thread now since it started and wanted to tell you that I appreciate your post.
I am looking forward to you getting to the bottom of this. Once you get it done, I too will have it done on mine as wll. One question; you mentioned in your first post that a wiring harness was needed, is this still the case? Thanks again.
Best,
D

While you are installing these LED's please take pictures of the process showing the wiring and any extras you hato add. There are more than few here waiting for the results since you volunteered yourself the guinea pig. Thanks in advance.
