@kwOH , if you go esky glass with the taillight it's pretty easy. Have the base color matched to your truck, take the stock hatch off and swap it out. The esky light mounts to the esky glass with three screws. Its really easy.

I know where an escalade glass and brake light is at, thinkin about gettin it, how hards the swap?

It's easy. Two c clips and the plug for the light and undo the shocks. Slid to the side and out it comes. 20 min job. One of the appliqués have to come off for the glass to slide out. Hardest part is getting the tiny ass c clip back in.

I checked out the LEDfix.com, seems like the way to go, you pay $219 but then get a $95 core charge when u send yours in, probably what ill have to do, the glass im going to get is in a junkyard, and has been there for a while, i didnt get a good look at it but from what i seen the light wasnt clipping into the housing on the two ends like maybe it was warped or something.

Yeah when you get the core charge back I think it works out to cost like 119. The light may not be screwed in all the way. But it also might be warped. Mine is just ever so slightly off at the ends where it sits in the base, but it's so slight that I don't really notice it.

So here is how it looks so far I have the third brake light panel painted and ready to put on what type of double sided tape would any of you recommend something that won't come off unless I make it come off.
