Sorry for jumping on the thread late, however this is some seriously valuable info I need to confirm.

I have a 2007 Escalade and have been meaning to buy this aftermarket 3rd brake light. I hate how the fake factory light goes across the whole roof but only the center lights up. However my problem is that my vehicle is NOT black and the aftermarket housing would not match the rest of my vehicle, it would look terrible.

So let me just confirm.... what you are saying is I can take my OEM brake light/spoiler apart as well as the aftermarket and swap the parts, and I would have a "full neon" bar in my car's factory colored housing? They bolt up and fit perfectly? If so, thank you for the info. I will be doing this mod very shortly if that's the case. Thank you!

Yes, that's what i did. I wouldn't say the fit is perfect, but it's pretty close

Is the full led 3rd brake light individual LEDS in comparison to the OEM Escalade lights?

I just noticed this newer activity in this thread.

I bought a smoked Eagle Eyes brand full length third brake light last year, replacing my non-smoked Eagle Eyes brand full length third brake light.

It's for sale if anyone's interested. The box is pretty long so shipping will probably be quite a bit. It's just taking up space in my garage. Thinking $100 shipped, or make offer

No clue. It's all diffused when you look at it. I imagine its a full bar with individual leds

I had a custom full led bar a few years ago but one of the leds went out and I put the oem one back on. I was trying to make sure this Amerilite bar was the same as the one in the pic I included.

@gooffeyguy Started looking into this upgrade a bit too late, but now that I'm daily driving the '13 Escalade ESV looking to do this upgrade and since you seem to be familiar looking to see if you could point me in the right direction.

I own a '13 Escalade ESV White Diamond. Is there a full length LED 3rd brake light that I can just swap the OEM LED light out with into my OEM Whie Diamond spoiler? I see some are LED light bars or individual LEDs. Trying to do this upgrade and avoid replacing the whole tailgate spoiler and painting to match.

Appreciate any help and input you can provide.

They used to sell them on eBay but now it’s just the led bar as opposed to the individual leds that match up perfect with the OEM esky lights. Another option is to find someone local or on social media willing to tackle the job of extending the length of your OEM brake light.

in case you were still looking the one that is a direct replacement with full led end to end is the eagle eye, you just pull the housing off then unbolt the light remove it and put this one on, then bolt the housing back on.

Thanks for the hook up on the full left to right spread Esky 3rd brake lamp. The version with individual led vs Neon is exactly what I couldn’t find.

Eagle Eyes GM585-B0000​


Got mine off parts geek for about the same with a 1 year warranty. I’m going to pull the guts out of the Eagle Eyes full spread unit and install it in the tinted OEM 12-14 lightly tinted unit from a Premium trim Esky.

Eagle Eyes GM 585 B0000 is NOT the product that had led that are installed across the entirety of the brake lamp. It only had led in the center like OEM

Had to return it.
