Blinking brake lights are a good idea.
A system that would send the dicknose behind me a text message telling them to get their nose out of their phone and hit the brakes would be a great idea.

Yeah as much as I know it's 100% the other persons fault and I might get a paycheck out of it, I still don't want to be in a f-ing wreck ever;)

Who’s the member that can do the Escalade third brake light mod?

There used to be a couple guys on here that did them.... I'm not sure anyone does them anymore. You can buy a fully lit Esky 3rd on EBay pretty cheap now from what I understand.

You got a link I was looking into the replicas but not sure if the lights are fully lit.

Check my rig out... regular OEM esky third brake light and OEM esky tail lights..
Very easy install and did not cost that much to get the spoiler color matched...
Just wish the OEM 3rd Brake light did the whole top strip and not the middle portion... cheap GM move...

How easy was the Cadillac brake lights install? Im looking at some aftermarket tahoe, yukon taillights for my escalade since like nothing even kinda cool is made for them but dont wanna buy them and try and resell when its a lot of work or doesnt line up well at all.

Five screws. One connector. Less than 15 minutes.

We did this until GM put a stop to us doing it, I could not take that stupid look of the Escalade 3rd brake light not being the full light, everyone we did still works today

So much nicer. Why didn't GM want you to do it? Huge improvement imo.
