Default RE: K2 LED Tail Light Problem



Wow - what a pain - I looked at the K2 threads on this forum and the Tahoe forum.K2 appears to simply be another Ebayreseller that has zero technical knowledge of what they are selling. If all you guys are trying to do is emulate the look of Escalade tails, you would probably be better served to just watch Ebay for a set of true Esky tails to show up (I've seen them go for as little as $175),or bite the $ bullet & buy new. At least you know they are GM OEM quality. I was one of the first to do the conversion and have had zero problems with mine since installed. You know the old adage, you get what you pay for.

Yep, I have to relearn that lesson every year or so. But I really like the three rows of LEDs in the K2s and that I don't have to put on new appliques (vent covers for those in Rio Linda).

Hi laredotexas! I'm a newbie here....and just wondering if you could help me with this K2 LED Aftermarket tail light problem. Anyway, here's my problem...I have the same kind of problem K2Tahoe had on my Yukon Denali but I got it fixed using the "resistor fix" install but now whenever my tail light is on or applied the brake is applied the tail light turning signal is a bit out of synch with my side mirror turn signal light. but if the brakes is not applied and the parking light is not on then its signaling just fine. What could be the problem here? Should I put a "load resistor" on the turning signal side of the tail light? I hope you can help with this problem. Thanks!

Thank you KMeloney!
I read some of the threads there but I don't think I can do it. I've worked on cars/trucks but not on wiring stuff. It seemed pretty confusing for me...maybe because I just don't understand much about wire circuits and all that. Maybe if someone can show me pics on how to do it then I might be able to follow and try to fix it myself. But thank you though...

Tell you what, I got my LED tails from Jeff a little over a year ago and they came plug-n-play. No problems at all. They actually put the Escalade LEDs to shame. I think they're Eagle Eyes. You should return the troubling set and order them. Took me a whole 3 minutes on each side, honestly. Unplug the factory lights, remove the 2 screws holding them in, pop them out, pop the LED set in, screw them down, plug them in, sit back an ENJOY.

Same here. And Jeff stands behind the Eagle Eyes. Probably best looking mod I've done.

Thank you for the advise but i'm just not sure if it'll be the same "plug&play" (with no problems) for a 2005 Denali LED tail lights. I believe you're ridin on a 2007?
