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.

Double post and you’re right, it’s so light I can’t even see the pics at all lmao.

Talk about those running board lights. Pictures?

This is an awesome thread for a simple but cool upgrade...appreciate those who tested this out.

I have a 2019 Tahoe. I just wanted to confirm part # 84408372 is the correct one for my vehicle before I order. Thanks!

I'd like to make this mod to my '07 mirrors. :(
I don't think there is enough room inside the mirror for these, unless you opened it up and cut hole then the back of the mirror glass may hit it anyway I just eyeballed it and didn't bother to try it myself, there are aftermarket ones out there that would probably work but there pretty low end china crap. if you have a spare mirror floating around you could experiment with it and see if it can be made to work, will take some dremeling to the plastic for sure.

Just ordered mine! This is a great mod - plug n play. I think I might buy more and set up the rear kick light under the bumper too. Should be pretty straightforward to pull signal from one of the other courtesy lights into a relay and send the power back there. Then just put one of these in a small sealed plastic junction box mounted up under there with the hole cut out and light clipped in and pow.. kick light.

Good find, OP. Thanks

So I just installed these. Will recommend (very carefully) dremeling four points, three of which are captured in the pic below. First, the tab in front of the connector leads is too tall for our connector to fit so I took that down maybe 1/8”, as opposed to bending the tabs upward. Then the two (and one on the other side) other plastic beams on top of the circle. Take those down just a tad and the light assembly pops right in with no pressure or protrusion.

The logo still is at an angle which I don’t like but that will be easily remedied by dremeling a notch in the housing about 1/8 turn from the factory notch. I didn’t do that because I’m going to do the Esky mirror swap in the next few weeks and I don’t feel like doing the notch project twice. Hope this helps.

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.
I'm looking for the rear projection logo myself. My 2019 Escalade has the light, but not the logo. Can't find one anywhere.
