I wish I could throw those brake lights on my Esky..

I have the Eagle Eyes one too. I wish it was smoked so it matched the tail lights better. I may try one of these and see how it compares

 

[gooffeyguy]

I have a set of the Esky style full length tail lights I had on my Denali for about a year sitting it a box in my garage. I want to sell them but shipping would be outrageous because the box is so big

Here's some pics for this neon full bar

Full "neon" escalade third brake light

Bought this bar from amazon for about $210 Shipped. This is the look that i planned on achieving when i bought an oem esky light over a year ago. It's made in Taiwan and its a decent looking piece. It's painted "black" but from up close its a real dark gray. Cant really tell the difference from...

Does anyone know if there are Escalade third brake lights for sale that illuminate the whole brake light? I picked up my brake light off of an escalator from the junkyard, and it only lights up just the middle, and not the whole thing. I see some brake lights on Amazon that lights up the whole light bar, but it also includes the whole insert that you bought to the back. I’m hoping just to find the light bar that lights up. Anybody have any ideas?

if the housing painted to match it's not a big deal you can buy the amazon one and transfer the light into your painted housing.
that's what i did with my yukon, bough the escalade housing and put the eagle eyes lights in it. I don't think eagle eye makes them anymore but others do.

The ones I see on Amazon don’t light up the whole light bar. Send me a link to one that fully lights up.

this is the new eagle eyes style, the difference is the new style is more like a laser and not like led, even though it is led. you kinda have to know the difference to understand.

Pardon Our Interruption...

found this other listing, which could be the old style but they do not say. you could try asking them if it lights the whole light or just the center part

that one is the laser style also that most of them are now
versus the led style, both are led but the newer ones are more shaded or something makes it look like a solid light bar

I believe the newer style is referred to as a "plasma tube" and it looks more like an old school neon tube instead of the individual LEDs like the factory style

ya I wasn't sure of the correct term, just looks like laser. some people don't like it because it doesn't match the other lights

I’ve seen this one. This comes complete. I already have the Escalade third light. I was hoping to just find a replacement light strip.

that's why I linked the 2nd one as well
but you could do like some of the rest of us have and buy that one, then swap the light to your housing, then put your old light in the new housing and sell it.
then you have a box to ship it in as well.

I MUCH prefer the "plasma tube" style. Reminds me of some mustang taillights and these new KIA's have some lights like that..
The individual LED's and space chrome reflectors always grossed me out.
It only took a few decades...

That’s a pretty good idea actually.

the problem is generally the aftermarket ones are not very bright, so in the daytime the light is barely visible if it all.

The aftermarket spoilers don't hold up over time. I bought the Eagle Eye one from eBay, and it warped after about a year. Also, the rubber weatherstrip flap that is supposed to seal against the body at the top wouldn't stay seated, and kept working loose. I ended up finding an OEM escalade spoiler and transferring the LED light over, and it was a perfect fit.
