New Eagle Eye G5 LED Tails with SMD-LED Reverse Lights. One of my HID lights were flickering when I had the G4 tails so I decided not to put the HID bulbs in my reverse lights and decided to go SMD-LED.

Can you see at all with the leds?

Don't know yet. I just put them on in the dark and took pics and came back in. Didn't go for a drive. I doubt they will though. LED's are purely for looks and not for light output. Looks WAY Better then the stock incandescent reverse light bulb though.

The overall shape of the G4 is rounded like the Tahoe OEM applique. The shape of the G5 is identical to the Escalade OEM applique and tail light. Also the G4 tails have the whole row that light up on the side. The G5 tail has four lights on the side at the bottom that light up at all times just like the OEM Escalade tail. Literal clone of the esky tail pretty much... but like Dirk said.. Oem > Replica :Handshake:

Yea I think so too.. I posted them so maybe someone can point out a difference :Handshake:

The only way you are going to be able to do this is to take identical side by side photos from the same angles, and then do it with lights on/off, brakes on/off.

Yea... like Denali wood grain interior/wood grain center console/heated & woodgrain steering wheel to match/swap for escalade doors with the chrome window sill trim.... but that's just a wish list that won't happen lol...
