LED Taillights for NBS Yukon XL

[TheAutumnWind]

That's what I was thinking as well, thanks for confirming what I was thinking.


From the pictures, it looks like the one I linked to, includes an adapter so it is just plug and play. I really like the idea of not having to modify anything I really don't need to.

AFAik it is plug and play. Just wanted you to know in case you planned to purchase some other bulbs for 'em. Some people put PnP hid's in them and to my knowledge the cutoff is fine, and this particular projector seems to work pretty darned well with them. Which isn't always the case with projectors designed for halogens.

3rd light was Dorman off Amazon. Here is that part link.

$33.50 with free shipping. No Prime at the moment, but the link works as of today

Go to my build thread. More pictures of the OEM light and Dorman comparison. Big difference. Had it since February 2016 and no issues so far. There is a write up as well.

Had zero issues with the Spyders. No hyperflash as resistors are built in. No issues with cruise control either. Here is a pic with the brake lights on after I replaced the 3rd brake light. Sorry do not have a parking light pic to share.

Wow... Guess I got lucky with my Yukon... my stock 3rd break light is very bright and all the LEDs still work.
It is a lot brighter than the stock brake lights.

Welcome. Glad to help out.

Good to know. Hopefully, next month I'll have enough extra to get the headlights as well.
Now I just have to wait for UPS to bring me my new tail lights. eBay claims they'll be here on 12/19.

I purchased these lights off of Amazon. Should be in tomorrow. Not sure what you might think of them but I like the styling however the review is mixed (only two purchasers so far). Hopefully I will be on the successful end once mines arrive.

Just a note that these were stated for lift gate style only and not barn doors.

They look nice!

Same here! I was content (barely!) with the stock because none of the after market LED caught my attention until I saw these!

I really hope they are as "plug and play" as they say!

Noel, if you still have not purchased anything yet. My new tail lights came in and I have them hooked up. I can give you both a day and night shot (if I can remember) and you can find out if they are to your liking.

*Edit* Sorry I noticed you have already purchased some lights already...

That C style light is pretty cool looking. I was also thinking about those for my truck as well. Post some pics when they come in please!!!

I made a new thread as to not hijack this one. It will be in the "exterior" section for 2000-2006 model year.

No problem. But I'd still like to see what they look like, if you haven't posted a thread yet.

So the new lights came in today, JUST after I left for work.
Got them installed!

Old:

New:

Reverse lights:


Stock reverse lights are SO much brighter now!

I might update the reverse lights to LED someday, but now that they have a clear lens, I don't feel like they really need any help.
Before, I could barely tell that the reverse lights were even on, but now there is no doubt they are on.

And here is a Youtube video of them in action:

Nice, videos are always the best. They look 100 better. I need to start my own youtube channel, maybe this weekend

 

[05Single]

Did I hear your air ride in the video ?

 

[W8TVI]

Did I hear your air ride in the video ?

Yes, you did

 

[Fosscore]

Those new tails look great and nice touch with the video. Might as well just throw some LEDs in there and complete that package. Will be even brighter and not really that much $$ to have a full LED setup especially with tint.

 

[05Single]

Yes, you did

Lol I know that sound anywhere

×2 on the led reverse lights. can do my reverse light mod for under $10
