I've had the oem Escalade one for a few weeks now and I love it. Some don't like the look of it but I really like how bright it is. Especially when I have the turn signal on as it is the the same as the brake light. I don't even use the amber lights.

do the OEM ones stick out @ bottom by bumper?

i recall reading here or other forum that they do & the aftermarket ones (less bright) are flush.

Are these different from the VLAND brand? I have heard that the aftermarket lights are to dim. Whats the best OEM pricing that has been found?

So OEM or nothing? I think I'll stick with my stock lights. I like the look of the Cadillac style lights, but I wish there was some quality aftermarket styles available. Adding the Cadillac lights makes me feel like a poser. ;-)

Was just looking at these as a possible alternative to the VLands that everyone seems to not like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MA0RX1H/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1

What do you think - worth the chance?

Also - wouldn't a trailer light converter work in order to get the brake light and turn signals separate? I remember doing this in my past life when I had a ZX6R. The break and turn were one wire and we used a trailer harness to separate the turn and brake in order to add individual amber turns on the back of the bike and keep the brake lights solid while stopping.

I say give it a shot and let us know how it turns out.
