Will do. I have hooked them to 12v and they are bright. I got the fog beam. Hoping to get them installed soon.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Got my Esky vent caps installed. I noticed something, though. They bulge out slightly at the top, they don't fit flush against the glass. I assume that's due to the Esky third brake light assembly?
Jochen, I see you have a "color matched 3rd brake like trim" listed in your sig. I thought you could only get the Esky third brake light by replacing the entire glass? Is yours OEM or aftermarket? I'd love to have that look, but can't afford or justify replacing the entire glass.
EDIT: after a ton of googling, I see that's actually a different glass, and not an Esky third brake light. I can only find that look on 2005ish Tahoes. I must be missing something. Where'd you get it?

I went ahead and bought these floods for my reverse lights.

All these style look pretty much the same size. I'll measure and let you know the size when I get them.
If I like them, I might try to do the same thing you are and replace my fogs. Thinking the spot version would be best for that.

Yeah let me know. I've been meaning to do it just been lazy.

Looks great!!!!!!! I would say that bulge is normal.
I do not have an Esky brake light or glass, nor did I buy any additional parts.
I simply took the black plastic trim off around the 3rd brake light and had it painted to match. It is the original plastic piece that came on the truck.
I think they changed the glass '04 and up, yours is an '03 and yes, the rear glass is slightly different.
I have seen someone here on the forum painting the black trim around the edges on your style glass to match and it looked great as well.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I just didn't realize that the 2004(+?) Yukon had a different rear hatch/3rd brake light trim. I might have to keep an eye out for that style. My hatch is probably my least favorite part of my truck. Previous owner had an air deflector mounted on the top sides of the glass, and it left a rust spot on the trim that is IMPOSSIBLE to get off.
Thanks for the info.

Check out member Z-56 HOE profile, I think he did his back glass as I mentioned.

Mine is a 04 and mine does not have it. I would like one but can't find it by itself.

Cool! Are you going to put then where you put the halogen ones?
I have new fog housings and fusion projector fogs to retrofit for my fog setup. Will have 6 hid projectors up front when all said and done lol

Weird. Maybe a certain month when they switched it that year?

Idk, I can only find them on 05 and 06. Maybe they changed it so they only had to make the esky glass. Esky got a giant 3rd brake light, and the rest got the appliqué thing like yours. Can't get it seperate, comes with the glass.

Well, the halogens are kinda ghetto-rigged in there. I managed to wedge them up in some slots in the bumper, I didn't really feel like drilling. Plus, if I had drilled, they'd be sitting really low. I wanted to keep them as high as possible. Hopefully with the slim LED lights, I'll be able to really get them up there. Maybe even hidden.
And I'm unfamiliar with the fusion projector fogs. I've wanted to replace my stock fogs forever, but never found a projector/HID that would fit in the stock holes. You have a link?

New air filter and wiper blades all around. Also took off the front wiper arms, and wiper cowl to attempt to chase down a leak. Getting my ass kicked so far.

On my 01 I back flushed the heater core, replaced the other plastic fittings on the heater core outlets since they started leaking, tried to reset the actuator but it kept going between hot and cold so I think its time for a new one so I got the heat stuck on hot for now so hopefully no more freezing 
will replace the actuator soon. The 00 I drove by the shop today supposedly the trans is done he just has to put it in.. needless to say I'm completely fed up with it since it'll be a month Wednesday and its been sitting in the same spot since the trans got pulled (2 or 3 days after I dropped it off). Hopefully he'll have that done if not I'm probably going to wind up going and picking it up and taking it somewhere else or finishing it myself. Needless to say I've learned from this mistake.

Where do I begin
23" Rims rapped with Kuhmo tires, Built a ten inch box to fit in the rear panel so it looks stock but with bass Rockford sub and Rockford sub, Bought HID low/Beam and Hi/beams' Bought a back rear light with all the lights. Bought a hood scoop for the look. A rear view camera for my Alpine. Neon lights to put in my custom grill.

also would like to do some hidden reverse lights like mentioned above.
Dimensions of the ones I got are 6 1/4" wide, 1 5/8" tall, and about 2" deep. Definitely smaller than the stock fogs.
Got them installed, and I'm pretty happy. They're 6000k, so they don't match the 5000k LEDs in my housings, but I think the brightness more than makes up for it. And I was skeptical about how it would look during the day, but I think they blend in pretty well.
Like I said, only thing that could make these better is if I could find a 5000k version. Anyone know where I could find some?

I tapped directly into the stock reverse wire for my positive, and drilled in 2 self taping screws into the bumper for the negatives. Good luck.
