Thanks guys. It was a long time coming, but the end result is pretty nice. Like I said, I plan on getting more pictures once I've had a chance to put everything on it.

The color is BMW Toledo Blue Metallic. It's kind of a steelish blue with a hint of purple pearl in the right light.

I have a small problem with mine...

No fast blink or anything during the day... But at night when all the lights turn on, I get a fast blink when signaling and braking at the same time. (pretty much at any street corner) Looks like the signal light, brake lights and marker lights are competing for the same bank of LEDS, causing a fast blink... I'm not sure if my tails have any jumpers to solve this..


here are mine:

The first thing you want to do is check polarity, but I think it sounds like it's right. It could be like mine where the pins for the brakes and blinkers are in the wrong locations, causing the fast blink.


As far as painting a Tahoe, if it's a normal shop, expect to pay anywhere from $4K-$6K for a paint job from start to finish for a basic paint job. There are better deals to be had if you can get someone that maybe works at a paint job to do it on the side, but sometimes those people are hard to come by.

A friend of mine has an 07 x-cab Silverado, w/ a flatbed on it, and he has some LED tail lights, and they blink fast too! He was complaining about it, and I have noticed that a lot of trucks/SUVs w/ LED tail lights, the lights tend to blink fast! ( compared to regular lights ) I know this didn't really help, just an observation I made! LOL

As far as paint....Big Tap is right on the money!
