Esky Lights Installed

[Excon11]

So it took about an hour and a half but got everything up and running and it looks amazing. I took pictures of most of the install but the wiring diagram was very straight forward and helpful. Thanks for everyone who helped me with this project i'm very appreciative! Tell me what you guys think

WOW. Do they work perfectly? If so screw my G3's, I'm buying some of those!

 

[KMeloney]

Nice! Yeah, I'd like to know how they blink with the brakes applied. To they hop to opposite blinking, or do they stay in sync when the brakes are applied?

Nice Job Excon,

Were the Escalade LED's expensive? Can you let me know where you got them? They look hot and want to do this mod as well. Also, do you have the items needed to make this mod work? Thanks

nice job. get ready to have youre pm box fill up hahahahahha.

 

[Modded]

Haha that is a HOT setup now, lets hope some crazy chick does not bash them in again lol!

 

[zach2011]

Haha, I remember reading where Excon said he got them as cheap as aftermarket tails, so I'd like to know too. Maybe he found a good deal somewhere.

In your pictures, excon, are those goldish things resistors or converters? It's all so confusing.

Thanks for all the love guys . It honestly wasn't too tough of a mod and blow the g3/g4 tails out of the water! I will try and write up a DIY tomorrow afternoon! As for the questions they work and function absolutely perfectly! Everything is in sync and going at normal speeds.I highly suggest these to anyone looking at tackling this project! Yes I did, I got these off a man who exports cars, the owner wanted the red ones gone for his clear ones and gave this to the man who had no idea how much they were so I snagged them as soon as I saw them( For almost 30-40$ off what the g3's were going on ebay). It was worth the 40 minute trip into deep LA and all the electrical prep to make it combatable. I took some night time pics and a video to show the blinkers/hazards all working, tell me what you guys all think

 

[zach2011]

I would so buy them, but I'd hate to mess something up and render them unusable. What does it feel like to first snip the wires? lol

You should get the Escalade 3rd brake light to go with them.
It is a very easy install and will go with those tails perfectly.

 

[Excon11]

To be honest cutting that first harness up was like nothing i've ever felt before. It was pretty hard and was even harder cutting the esky harness! I felt like I was holding my breath for 45 minutes until it worked. And Ive been reading up on it but dont know where I would get all the parts.

Looks good man!

beautiful, good job

Excon -- Thanks for the video. The lights obviously are blinking the proper BPM (blinks per minute?), but they definitely don't alternate blinking with the turn signals when the brakes are applied?

I didn't know mine alternated until I backed up to the garage and checked the reflection while applying the brake and releasing the brakes.

I guess that if yours DON'T do the alternate-blinking thing, then it must be something within the Esky lights that allows them to work properly (and doesn't have to be traced back to something else in the vehicle).

nice. good job.

 

[David4Jesus]

Very nice work, I have been looking at the variety of tail lights offered on ebay but they all seem to lack in one area or another, but these for sure take the cake to bad the wiring is not easier for those of us who are impatient and mechanically challenged.

 

[Excon11]

Thanks guys! It honestly wasn't too bad, I think i psyc'd myself big time before the install but once that first tail lights up it's a walk in the park . And Kmeloney, from what i've told mine don't alternate but I will have my little brother step on the brake and signal at the same time tomorrow and grab another video of it.

Thanks! The way to check is to have the turn signal on already, and then just apply the brakes. (It works in park, by the way.) If the tails work perfectly, then there will be absolutely no change in the pattern of the blinking. If they work like most aftermarket LED tails, then the blinking pattern will be briefly interrupted by the pressing of the brake. The light will light if it was off before, or will go out if it was on before. The cadence will be the same, but it'll interrupt the cycle.

 

[zach2011]

This is making me regret my Eagle Eye tails more and more, lmao.

Excon are you going to make a write up? That would be extremely helpful. Oh and I like your Tahoe. The grille and new lights are amazing on it!

 

[Excon11]

Yes! sorry its taking so long my cousins came down for our little xmas party and birthdays for my nieces so i'm hoping to do it soon!. And thank you Its come a long way since I bought it. Hopefully black rims in the near future to finish it off.

 

[southernss]

looks sweet! how is the write-up coming along?
