Great find Derek!. This may have to be my Xmas gift! What do you guys think about the clear one with Blacked out theme on my Tahoe. Look weird unless the red tail-lamps were changed, you think?

Correct. clear 3rd = clear all... red tails = red 3rd

There is an escalade in my town with a clear third and red tails and it looks like someone shattered their lens on the third lol

Don't do it.
To me, smoked tails with red 35d looks bad enough. They way you want it, it will look really bad.

Thx for the feedback guys. That's what I figured.

Are there tails that would look good with this clear 3rd?

Edit: nm. After googling and finding this image I answered my question

I'm looking for more of a smoked look.

Would clear look good smoked?

Yes I think you would need the clear style escalade tail lights for the clear 3rd to look in place.

Thx sumo. My post wasn't very clear (no pun intended :lol: ), but you and I are on the same page; that's what I meant--after seeing the clear (the pic I posted) I wouldn't want that. I agree they are ugly. I want the smoked look and would def be going with the Esky tails. was thinking smoke g4's with the clear 3rd-smoked.

However I'll prob just stick with the red now. After seeing the clear on Brooklyn Hoe's ride, I think it looks kinda naked.

With the red Im thinking I could always get the smoked later if I want...

That's looks so good. Plus the mod on the 3rd all the way across looks so good. I remember when you got it back and installed. Actually, Can I just have you truck? bc everything you do to it, I want. :D

You tinted the 3rd right?

What made your decision to go with the Esky tails and having to get the appliqués, versus just doing the g4's?

Thanks. I went with Esky cause i was a deal and a half that was way to good to pass up. Tail lens with plug and play harness already mounted, spoiler that was already the color of my truck and it was tinted, i ended up redoing them but still it was hard to pass up. Think i paid around 600 for everything.

I would like to know too, hoping for more photos. Someone buy one and send it out to me for conversion.
