HOW TO: Convert to Escalade LED Tail Lights

[THE YETI]

VLEDs doesn't sell the 6ohm/50w resistors anymore. You can google search and find the right ones.

You can put anything between them. Aluminum plate stock from Home Depot, for example.

I usually just space them out away from the Hopkins with zip ties.

Okay I will give it a shot and try to make this harness myself. I appreciate all the info you have given me thank you.

Hello. I have a '13 Tahoe and would like to replace the rear tail lights with the original Escalade LED tail lights. Came across your post, nice job by the way, and am wondering if you would be build a direct plug and play harness? I will provide both harnesses and pay for any additional expenses. Thank you.

 

[THE YETI]

Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately I don't build these anymore. Too time consuming and frankly just not enough time.

PM for pricing

Thanks guys! Took awhile to get the harness down pat! Just glad I kept it clean and factory looking with the harness. Takes 5 minutes to swap back to the stock tail lamps if need be.

I have a question. What if I wanted to do the opposite. What if I wanted to put a Yukon harness on a escalade.. This is what I want to do.. In order to install Yukon after market lights on the escalade

Would you be interested in selling/swapping tail lights? I have a 2016 Denali.

Thanks

Since the OP isn't making or selling these any more I thought I'd throw up another option.
This only works if you have the trailer harness up by the spare tire or plugged into the back of the 7 way plug:

Buy this: CURT 56584 Custom Wiring Harness https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007EA6WQU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JHO5AbWPJPPR0

Clip off the 5 pin plug and add two of these with associated pins and seals with some wire. You get a ground, reverse, brake/turn L/R and park.
https://m.delcity.net/store/GT-150--Male-Housing/p_810485.h_810490

Plug it in and go. Should cost less than $50 for everything brand new.

Only thing you would need to do is add a resistor to keep the blinkers from hyperflash.

I can assemble this for you if you don't like wiring stuff for a fee. Just thought I'd try to help whoever is still looking to do the mod.

Or just buy G5s.......

Just did the swap tonight, the write up helped a lot thanks!

 

[BG1988]

the swap is pointless just get some Taheo hybrid led lights

You’d be in the same situation. You’d have to swap both the hybrid lights as well as the upper appliqués and I think the third brake light too
