Those look great! Was considering those or the black ones but was afraid they might be dimmer.

Was it plug & play?

Yeah they plug into the factory harness just like light bulbs! Very Simple!

So my passenger brake and turn signal stoped working on my Esky lights. The running light is still on, and everything onthe driver's side still works. Think the resistors on that side might have gone out?

I had a water issue this spring. I had to take the tape, wire loom off. Mine was shorting at connection.

Why go through all that trouble...Spending extra money and time? There's an aftermarket taillight on the market that looks EXACTLYlike the Escalade tails... And it it requires ZERO mods.

These instructions existed way before any aftermarket LED tails came out or at least bad 1st gen stuff from K2 Motors. I know as I did this caddy tail conversion last summer.

Also K2Motor's G3 (3rd Gen?) lights LED tails look better than IPCW's above and look even closer to the caddy tails. Do a search on Ebay for "07 tahoe led taillights g3" Now available in 2 tone. I think Jazejeff carries these and they fixed their resistor issue.

2 weeks ago one side of my escalade lights went out. Well the stop and turn only, the running light still worked. The fuses were good, so I bought new resistors cause I thought it was that. Re-wiredem'and that sides brake and turn signal still don't work. I'm starting to think both those led bars are out. Is there a way to get them fixed...? Is there a way I can test them buy hooking them up to a power source or something? I mean the resistors might be out, but I bought new ones and wired right and that one side still doesn't work... pretty frustrated

YOu can test by unhooking and the wires from trailer adapter. Just plug them run direct to test. I would guess your trailer adapter is out.

You can't do a direct test. The lights won't work without the trailer harness or resistors. Maybe I don't know what direct test means...

Tahoe07, I love you... you save me $300. I took the trailer harness off the other light, re-wired it and tested it, sure enough it's bad. Thanks so so much!
