Default What LED tails are the closest thing to the Escalade tails?

I'm guessing from looks that IPCW "ruby red" tails are closest, but I can't find any pictures to compare them to the Cadillac tails? I'd do the factory conversion, but from what I read here, there are always a few issues and obviously expensive. Anyone have these IPCW lights? How do they operate compared to the Escalade tails?

Eagle Eyes are best IMHO. They have three rows that come on for all functions.

i have a black tahoe and keep thinking about black tail lights to match, but everything aftermarket just looks so cheezy... like something a 16yr old would put on the back of their toyota or civic... does anyone have before + after photos of ones they like? I want something that almost looks 100% black when the lights are off then light up legal when on

Custom Creations. Ask for Jeff. http://shopcustomcreations.com/

I'll have to get the pics off my other computer. If you like the Esky tails, you'll love the Eagle Eyes.

hey! i have an 09 LTZ too, even black as well!

do you have any 'as you went' install pics for the escalade roof rails?

Do they bolt right on? 'Factory' GM ones or are they aftermarket? Price?

I don't know if I like how the LED tail lights put the backup at the bottom but they do look clean / smooth... factory ones have wierd humps that are just wierd...

did you see my other post w/the black tail lights?

Does anyone make a LED kit for the front turn signals? that tiny side light thing?

Do you have before / after pics of the lowering springs?
