Not yet, but I went ahead and ordered the LEDs yesterday (it's an itch I just have to scratch!).......... should be able to update in a couple of weeks.

Thats cool. Let me know as soon as you get things working and how you did it, whether just plug and play or some innovative wiring.

This is very hard to research from an office but I have taken a moment and hear is what I can offer for now.

The Escalade (called a Z75) has a tail lamp circuit board that is built into the lamp assembly, the Tahoe does not have this curcuit.

The Yellow, Yellow/Black and/or Dark Green wires for the stop lamps and turn signals.

Black wire is ground.

Brown wire is for side markers (park) lamps.

Back-up lamp wire is Light Green.

The wire colors are the same on Tahoe and Escalade, there is a possiblity that the Dark Green wire is not found on the Tahoe.

ZX,

I was wondering if you still have access to the Tahoe/Escalade wiring diagrams. I received my esky taillights today and have determined the following functions:

Escalade Lights:
Yellow - rumored to be lamp out return
Blue - Stop/Turn
Black - Ground
Brown - Park/Side Marker
Dark Green with Orange stripe - Reverse
Pink with Black stripe - unknown -

Tahoe Lights:
Light Green - Reverse
Brown - Park/Side Marker
Black - Ground
Blue - Stop
Yellow - Turn & Hazard Flasher

Can you tell me what the function is of the yellow wire present in both the Tahoe & Escalade lights? (possibly a feedback for lamp burn out detection?) And, what is the purpose of the Pink with Black stripe wire on the Escalade lights? I was able to verify all of the above with a DVM & a 9v battery (i.e., the lights work without either the yellow or pink/black connected).

Thanks in advance....

The lights work as I tested them with a 9v battery for power - that's how I verified wire function. I have not installed them on the truck yet, but they look like they should fit fine. I got these from GMpartsdirect today (yes I paid the big bucks for new instead of boneyard) & of course the left one has a cracked corner from the factory - box had no signs of damage. So I am waiting to see what GMpartsdirect's response to my email will be. Yes I could glue the broken piece on, but after what I spent ($450) I have a hard time accepting that scenario.

Konasmrz thanks for the constant updates. I have been following this thread now since it started and wanted to tell you that I appreciate your post.
I am looking forward to you getting to the bottom of this. Once you get it done, I too will have it done on mine as wll. One question; you mentioned in your first post that a wiring harness was needed, is this still the case? Thanks again.
Best,
D

While you are installing these LED's please take pictures of the process showing the wiring and any extras you hato add. There are more than few here waiting for the results since you volunteered yourself the guinea pig. Thanks in advance.
