#Maknificent12 Stock suburban tail lights uninspiring to you too? Converted them to Escalade style Tail Lights. Due to lack of video editing skills Video a much longer than I wanted. Just consider it very thorough. Thanks 4 Watching!
1 Escalade Lights- rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...

[@Maknificent12now]

Update: 1 year and a half later yet no technical/mechanical issues with lights. I lived in place with lots of cold weather like snow, ice, wind, & salt (North Dakota) so if there was a place to test durability it was that place. Some folks commented that they didn't need to do all the extra steps that I did (like adding dialectric to connections). Mama said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". So I suggest following the video since I've yet to have not even 1 issue @ all. There are as good as factory. I'll be sure to post an update if and issue comes up.

Thank you for the update and providing that extra info location etc... For sure better safe than sorry!

I ran into an issue after 3 yrs, but not really that troublesome. The black box/led resistor went bad because water got into the wiring. Got hyper flash on the driver's side when using turn signals. Just replaced with an Amazon/ebay led resistor and problem solved. All led lights still work and no condensation problems. Still love the look of them.

Good job. Thanks for sharing. Get you done LED tag lights now. Also they make a top center brake light that blinks fast 3 or 4 times then goes to solid. Yo get attention you are stopping. Then you will be fully modernized.

[@nicT9]

Thank you for going through the hassle and spending the time to put up this installation video. I plan to do this on my '14 Tahoe and wanted to see how involved the conversion would be. Looks easy enough and I like the style. How do you like it so far? Reverse light visibility good? Any issues with people not seeing your brakes or signals ? Plastic holding up to weather not losing clarity and shine?

[@Maknificent12now]

I just posted an update on the lights durability. Short version is no. As long as you do it right the first time it would seem you'll have little to no issues.

it's worked flawlessly since installed tbh

[@liltp1983]

Where did you get the harness from

[@Maknificent12now]

It’s “plug & play” so oem harness from suburban works perfectly with the new lights . Keep in mind you have to purchase aftermarket Escalade lights specifically built to fit on a suburban. If you Purchase normal Escalade lights then yes you’d then have to find a harness to retrofit. 😳 Make it easy on yourself and look at Amazon or eBay link in description🤙🏿

[@BASSMANJ5]

My co worker has the clear , I like the smoke on a black Tahoe . I'll be getting mine pretty soon, man those are nice . I put led taillights on my 97 Silverado , but I put the LED flasher in the fuse box and took off the ones that come with the lights

@@Maknificent12now 6 months, when your running lights are on try one directional at a time and check the lights both my brake lights flash with the right directional. After some research it's a very common failure.

[@RJenkins6586]

@@Maknificent12now figured I'd give a update, I have since found the problem. Living in NY where snow is a normal thing, a small amount of salt got in to one of the connectors and completely destroyed it and unfortunately ruined the connectors under the truck from back feeding. After rewiring the light and applying a generous amount of dielectric grease this time should be fine. The cause of the issue was down to the connectors provide by the light is slightly small and does not deal properly.
