What is the difference between these

and these

All I can see are LED reverse lights vs non LED, but does that really jump the price that much? Which pair did Felix have luck with?

I've had both. One is similar to the Escalade tails and one is an exact replica of the Escalade tails. They are both LED all around except for the reverse light which are incandescent bulbs.

Thanks Guys. I take it that the $328 pair are the better reps. How do you up grade the reverse lights felix? Just buy replacement bulbs and ballasts?

The G4's aren't "replica's". The G5's are. Yes you can just buy the led reverse light from sights like autolumination.com or v-leds.com. There are no ballasts for led's... Only for HID bulbs.

Still Torn

Nope. Both sets went to folks here already. Thanks for asking, though.

Just not sure what to do with mine. I like the light's shape or overall design just dont love the Chrome plastic on the inside. just not the look I was going for. ( My mistake) I think I might try to tint them and see if that helps at all. With the chrome interior of the taillight they are just hard to see during the day. Sometimes the glare is so bad at sunset that you cant even see them at all. I need to try and salvage them before I get news ones ....if for nothing at all other than to say I tried.

Thanks man but I am getting the ones I have tinted tomorrow. I have to at least try to see if I can make these work. If they dont turn out the way I like them. I will let you know.

Thanks again.

Can someone post a vid with the g5 tail lights in action both during the day and at night? That would be very helpful.

Thanks :)

Just look at an NNBS Escalade when you see one on the road. They are 100% identical both physically and how they light up at night/during the day.
