Got mine in the mail today.

The 2017 Suburban was a direct swap. No issues as stated above. They are somewhat washed out by the running board LEDs but still very noticeable.

The Sierra lights fit but the hit the mirror frame on the inside. That in return makes the light sit sideways in the mirror and projects a crooked logo. They do not fit flush in the mirror either.

I ended up drilling the mirror frame through the hole. It’s damn sure not the prettiest thing I’ve modified but it worked. I did have to spin the light in the housing to the appropriate angle. Be careful you don’t hit the mirror motor behind the frame like I did.

Done!

Just got mine in today. Quick install, and the lights will fit either side, so you have to look at the color of the label on the light to know which goes on which side.

Overall I'm happy, but since it has a logo, the "approach" isn't as bright as having an actual light.

Also, on the higher model or new model escalades, the rear bumper has a logo projected to know where to kick for the tailgate. Can that be retrofitted to a model that didn't have it? I have a 2017 escalade luxury, my 2019 premium loaner had it.

my guess would be "probably" but you may have to have it programmed to work as intended.

Installed these today (GMC), super easy install. Still too light to really see them well, but they appear to be relatively straight. I will tweak them a little bit, to make them perfect. Really cool little add on. My wife has a new XT4, and her car has the Cadillac crest at the rear passenger side, to show where to wave your foot to open the lift gate. Be great if the new 2021 Yukon has a similar light, that could be retro fitted to our generation Yukons.
