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

Otherwise, once I get a new light I anticipate about 2 hours to do the wiring (splice the Tahoe 5 pin connector onto the Escalade 6 wire harness) and physically install (the physical install will only take ~ 5 minutes - I've had the lights off before & there's nothing to it). Only question remaining is what the Escalade pink/black wire is for (question pending for ZX). If nothing else I plan to leave it disconnected as I already verified wire designation/light function with a battery & everything seems to work.
Yes I will take pics & post when complete.........

Konasmrz....I got the wiring schematics for the Tahoe and the Escalade tail lights from my Chevy/Cadilac dealer. They were faxed to me but the print is small. Got a strong pair of glasses and looked at them and it looked all greek to me. I can fax them to you if you like and maybe you can make them out. Let me know.

After review this whole thread, I think you guys would have been better off just buying an Escalade.....
my 2 cents.

When I get this done I'll post pics - I'm sure that some will like the look, and others will not. But then again that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors.......

Kernal, If I wanted an Escalade, I would have bought an Escalade. I do not happen to like the look of all the chrome - but I'm not going to criticize those that do.This particular post has over 1500 hits at present, so obviously there are more than a few people interested in this mod. & I would guess that most of them own Tahoes, not Escalades. I guess that you are not personally into the challenge of customizing your vehicles.

Not only do the LED's look nicer in my opinion, they have far better visibilty especially during the day making it a little more safer.
