LED replacement tail lights

[05Single]

Looks good, where you’re led reverse lights tho?!!!

They U bar or C bar?

Looks good. Where’s your shoes though?

Those damn teens!!! /shakesfist

Well i suppose you could call them C bar, i can see that. No pun intended But when i was doing my searching i was using the term U Bar and that led me to the ones i bought. So with that in mind i'm going with U Bar. But if you want to say C bar i don't mind I'll get those reverse leds installed soon!

Maybe that’s why my search sucked when I typed in C bar led tail lights lol

Here you go, quick video i recorded with my phone. I wanted to show it works with my keyfob both lock and unlock. All the turn signals, just the reverse lights, yadda yadda.

GOOD JOB! Thanks alot they look awesome superbright!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

I wanted to update this thread. The lights have held up through several rain showers and high winds. No fogging, no cracks they still look great! The only thing is now, i've lost cruise control. I've heard that adding a resistor to the brake wire should do the trick. I've ordered some resistors and i'll post if it works or not.

Yessir, add load resistors to the brake lights and your cruise will be back.

Rocket Man,
There were some resistors that were built into the lights. Do you think i should replace them or add my own?

The built in resistors are usually for hyper flash on the turn signals. I don’t know of any that include resistors for the brake lights. If your cruise isn’t working you need to add them to your brake lights.

Ok, gotcha. That makes sense. I was just thinking and picturing things in my head from when they went in. I've got my resistors off Amazon so i'm ready to do it, just need to find a time when it isn't going to rain to crack things open and do the needful.

I'm wanting to install a rear view camera and a steering wheel controls module and i'm thinking maybe it would be good to get all that work done at the same time. But maybe i'll just do the lights/cruise control first since it doesn't seem hard lol.

It’s easy, just connect one end to the brake light + wire and one end to a ground wire or the chassis, and mount them away from the wiring because they get hot. I installed mine in the area behind the tail lights.

 

[Flingflanger]

I installed mine on the drivers side brake light. It was super easy. I was thinking i was going to need to install a second one for the passengers side but nope. I also got some Sylvania Zevo LED's in for the reverse lights.

All told 10/10 would do again.

shit I brought some L.E.D tail lamps off ebay for my 01 yukon.. Hope those roaming teens stay away from my yukon, bad enough I got roaming gnomes that always follow me after I do something, their little buggers, they wait and laugh saying, Oh yea he back trying again lol

I got a question, so I dont give my roaming Gnomes nothing to laugh about, mine has a resistor on each one too, I see tape backing, where do I stick them inside the tail lamp?


these are the ones I brought, I hope the roaming teens don't come pay me a visit

They don’t go inside the tail lamp. They get hot and need to stay away from the wiring or anything plastic. I mounted mine to the metal area behind the tail light (when you remove the light).

First off nice lights!. As for the resistors just stick them to some clean metal behind the taillights. Otherwise those damn teems will come into play lol! But if those were set up like mine that resistor is only on the turn signal. If you lose CC like i did, you'll need to pop a resistor on the brake light wires

lol I might be better off with no cc then trying to wire anything into more wires, see that's where my laughing roaming Gnomes come into the picture and add in those roaming teens, i best take what I get and leave it as is . Thanks, ok I was going to stick into the lamp like in the installation video on their ad but I read where one guy wrote them saying, not to do that. I figure Y'all in this forum would set me right

Those are really nice.

lol I would have stuck them in there too, good thing I ask Y'all before hand.

Those resistors get hot enough to melt plastic.

Here's what mine looked like from the factory in the rear. And the little resistor dealy i bought off eBay.
