RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

That was just on some of the Depos, I’ve never had a problem with any of mine. Maybe you should try them with the Anzo brackets if you still have them.

Yeah I still have them.

Swapped the anzo brackets back over onto the housings. No change....

Weird. Mine are fine.

This back end looks fresh though....

So ran these tails on the truck from November to February, but my cruise control never worked with these. I was not happy and driving from socal to Utah with no cruise control absolutely sucked....

After I got back from that trip I messed around with resistors in all different setups and couldn’t figure it out. But I wasn’t going on my March mammoth road trip with no cruise control so I threw my original C LED tube tails back on. Been rolling around with the old chipped lense since and it’s been bugging me. Even tried another set I picked up and it was still a no go. So I sent them back and got a refund. Irritating. But I was finally able to figure out why my cruise didn’t work with the newer tails. I swapped the pigtails and plugged the brake lights into the turn signals, and turn signal/running light into brake pigtail and my cruise control WORKED! So the LED tube in these newer tails also comes on during the day as a brake light with the other C shaped set of individual LEDs that are brake lights. It dawned on me to wire in an extra set of resistors into the turn signal/night time running light pigtail. Had to figure out which of the three wires in the pigtail went to the running light and which’s as turn signal but after some google searching some schematics I learned it was potentially the brown wire, and wouldnt ya know that was the trick! Buttoned up the wires and connections and put everything back together. Stoked that I got these babies functioning all correctly cuz they look really badass!

All you need is one of these. If fell in the same problem when I got my leds tails, looked all over online and found a post on a jeep forum. Then looked some more and found more info how to fix this issue. Bought a sylvania load resister and installed it on the rear passenger side taillight harness. Got my cruise control to work.

I know.... I have one wired into each brake light harness. But I also had to wire resistors into the running light wires. Because my led tube also funstions as a brake light as well as a running light. Hence the post..... lol

Caught up on your build thread. Some nice pics of the slopes and road trips. Brakes and rear glass look good.

Yes the Depo brackets were a bit wobbly compared to OEM, but the projectors were worth the hassle to tie wrap and wedge ping pong balls in there to steady them.

So I got an email this morning from LKQ pick and pull that a 2005 Escalade ESV was just made available this morning in the San Bernardino yard, which is right at the base of the mountain. I was actually gonna go down there anyways from some other errands, so I pulled up the inventory for the yard, and this is what showed up on the inventory:


I was like oh hell if it’s really a platinum edition truck I gotta get there....... lol.
Sure enough it was a platinum edition caddy, super rare to see in our local yards.... anyways I got there and scored the stuff I wanted. Which I’ve been sorta thinking about for several years now. Just didn’t have the truck available in a local yard. So stay tuned as I have a big project to tackle and if it works when all is said and done it’s gonna be a pretty bitchin mod.... lol

Awesome. I didn’t know you could get emails like that from Pick n Pull. Not that it would do me any good- they don’t even take SUV’S in my local PnP yards.

If it’s a yard owned by LKQ, you can set up an account and have it notify you whenever they bring a particular vehicle. I have it set up to notify me whenever they bring a suburban, a Yukon, XL, or any of the three esky variants, and I have it setup for multiple yards across the socal area. Weird that your yards don’t bring in SUVs. When I first starting to the yards probably 9 years ago now with my first 1999 Dakota, and then with my 2001 Durango, GMT800 SUVs were few and far between and were almost always pre-2003 rigs. But now they’re pretty much is always at least a handful of 2003-2006 rigs in most of the yards. I didn’t even look at anything else yesterday while I was there. And I should have cuz u need tor solace my steering column covers lol.
