I already had resistors added from my previous set up, so far all turn, brake and cruise operations work fine.

I have my Escalade style full length ones I pictured above available rather cheap if anyone's interested, but the box is huge and probably costs at least $50 to ship....lol

What aftermarket or OEM tail lights are you running? Post pics and review if you can...

Trying to figure out what I want to put on the back of the Silver Bullet, Don't quite like the clear Denali Tails myself... Alot of suppliers out there, just dont want to buy something crappy.

Uh, I think they said neon tube on the box or description. Maybe it's just neon tube style, don't know. I know the yellow turn signal strip and the reverse lights are LED, and they have a resistor pack on the harness.

all you have to do is find a long enough CCFL to fit i highly doubt you would want to use an actual neon tube

most CCFL come with 12vDC voltage regulators so it will work on a car(make sure the regulator is car rated other wise 15 volts may damage it)

make sure you get the red one an not a white one (too much light bleed an not bright enough)

Escalade style very easy install. Been on for over a year now through 100+ degrees to -10 winters. Still look and work great.

My boring tails....


OEM + is the best, your setup looks great! I did the same and kept the tails OEM Tahoe and just added LED bulbs to them. BUT I love the sequential 3rd brake light you have. Did you do that or bought it that way. The only way to make it even nicer IMO would be to have the sequential go the full length of the bar instead of just halfway for the turns.

I built the 3rd brake light.

I also moved the turn signal up from the bottom of the tail light to the clear/reverse location and used switchbacks to maintain the reverse lights and turn signal function while adding a second brake light to the lower portion of the tail light where the turn signal used to be.

Just a little something different that I haven't seen before.

Nice work! It ended up really clean.

The smoked U bar style LED tails you out on look fantastic! And I agree they match the headlights perfectly! I like them a lot! I like them so much better than the esky style tails. I am probably the only one that’s got this opinion but I don’t like the esky tail lights at all and I don’t like them even more on the older gen trucks.
Were in full agreement. They look just awful on every single vehicle theyve been installed on, including factory. Of course, Cadillac is no stranger to gaudy ********. Its a super popular mod for a certain segment of society to put on their buy here pay here specials, so there's that too.

Op- just smoke your oems. Don't put poorly made ricer ******** all over your truck
