the factory esky harness clips into the tahoe one i just had to flip it. got just the esky glass. I took out my old tahoe third brake light completely.
So u do have the esky glass? I'm confused , other thread u said Tahoe glass. I'm just wondering if it's possible to install 3Rd brake light and trim on non esky glass.

You can...just use red 3M tape to secure it to the glass.

No I don't have an esky rear glass. I got all this stuff off an 05 esky and it has the old 3m tape spots where they ripped it off so I just put new one on and it's on there like door side moulding with 3m double sided tape all the way around.

Scored some esky exterior and interior door handles. Dropped off the exterior handles at the paint shop for the surrounds to be color matched olympic white. The interior looks SO much better with the chrome interior esky oem door handles. Also got a new driver side bottom leather oem replacement seat that was torn to shit before.

Some mods not pictured are: all three OEM new windshield wiper arms and new blades (Bosch up front RainX in the rear), two new driver side fender flare panels I Found used on ebay already painted white, new steering wheel controls for the esky steering wheel, new internal radio antenna and new shorter gloss black antenna itself. Got the esky cluster, new Depo projectors with Mccullough HID kit (I dunno some ebay brand that cost me 150). Also ordered 880 type CREE LED fog lights that are 7200 lumens total are on the way still. Still gotta get LED's for puddle lamps and license plate.

HID's in the other housing (sad I'm already on my second set of headlights already) I had was way too much so glad I finally have them in a projector even though the cutoff isn't as crisp as a built retrofit setup, it'll do for a quick ebay solution. Here are the pics:

Just put it on today haven't tested it yet. Had one similar on my 07 Avalanche and it worked fine so I think it'll be ok.

I did the delete mod and layed the antenna in the fender. I live in the very middle of town so I have good reception. If I leave town I usually plug in the ipod cause it's gonna be a long ride anyway lol
But I haven't left town since i did the mod o_O so don't even know if there is a difference lol

Got some pics of the antenna mast and also of the new steering wheel controls. Old ones were nasty.
