Sense on the Denali I don't know about the Tahoe or Suburban the top light is just a normal brake light bulb I going to change it out with a bright ass LED better response on breaking, lights up quicker and hopefully it does not blind but sends a message that I am breaking, stay tuned or just come back, I'll have b4 and after pics sat hopefully.....
If u done this tell me what u think

aah, I see I thought you meant the one in the center above the rear glass it's usually referred to as the top brake or 3rd brake

Those bulbs are great... I have the strobing version of those and they are super bright.


I "slightly" modified my rear lights to get more attention.

The Tahoe/Suburban are wired the same way as the Yukons.

From the factory...
Top bulb is brake light.
Lower bulb is turn signals.

I rewired a few things to have brake lights top and bottom and reverse and turn signals in the clear portion.

Sorry to hijack your thread... just wanted to kinda give you a preview of the brightness of those bulbs.

I can't remember if your year truck has the same problem or not, but if you find your cruse control doesn't work anymore, all you have to do is attach a loading resistor across the brake light wires. You only need one, and it doesn't matter what side you put it on.
If you decide to go with LED turn signals, I would recommend an LED compatible turn signal module.
Then if you want to do the front turn signals in LEDs as well, you don't need loading resistors on any of the turn signals. If you do go with LEDs for the front as well, just make sure your side marker LEDs say they are non-polarized or not polarity sensitive. That way they continue to function correctly, no matter what kind of bulb you have in your turn signal.
