I really don't see why a outgoing body style has to have such a high price tag just for tail lights

I'm going for G4's just not sure red or smoked. Depends on my Esky third. You think the smoked G4's would look ok, or go for red?

I had a set of G4s.... they look "aftermarket"...... but I liked them a lot.

However.... what was worse was the malfunction issue. Hyperflashing.

They have also been known to have moisture issues in the past.

If you get a good set..... then you are great... nothing to worry about.

I had G4s for a couple years and loved them. No issues at all.

I read your thread and Serge's. Thanks for the heads up! I'd buy from revotec anyways most likely!

I can't justify the money for G5's and appliqués. I just don't know what color to go with because I want it to match my third...but you already know that lol I decided I want all three to match either red or smoked, but preferably red since the black G4 are a little ricey

The only way to ensure they all match (if you go smoked) is to buy read and have the person doing the work do all lights at one time.

Well finally got my red escalade sense and put it in my housing. It was a beautiful 51 degrees out so actually just did it in a t shirt and man was it nice out! I also threw some LED's in my license plate lights and regretfully installed my front plate -_-

So after installing the lift a few weeks ago, I may be regretting my decision a decent amount. It isn't playing out like I thought it would in my head. I removed my running boards and front valance today and drove it for 2 hours and put everything back on. I just don;t think the Denali is meant to be lifted (Insert Lee's I told you so lol).

I think I'm going to take the front end apart and go back to stock and then start looking for some 22's, nitto 420's, and some 2015 door molding, to slim down the sides.

Thoughts?

It just isn't working. It just looks awkward to me, and i'm also sick of the ride and service suspension light constantly being on....

Not sure on wheels Lee recommended ck156, and other suggestions? Bout buying soon, but actively looking. I love 375's....but thats too common.

Why is your ride and service suspension light on?! I say go back to stock height and get 22s as well. It IS a denali lol
