Agreed was a little unsure about the escalade third but I am liking it. If I didn't end up liking it I was going to do what @05Single did and wrap the factory one and add the "audi" style third brake.
Only reason I did what I did is because I couldn’t find a esky 3rd to save my life lol, or else I’d prefer that over mine, although mine is different and still looks sexy. I ain’t mad about it lol.
Yours looks awesome but I feel like the line of fire on the bumper is too much.

And I’ve never seen just the outer 3 leds light up like that. That’s weird. Your factory 3rd never did that ?

As far as I know the factory one never did that was odd to see for sure. IMO more light the better for safety. I am happy with it. Hoping the double sided tape holds up and I won't need an esky rear glass though.

I've heard a few people to use heavy duty double sided tape for that light and it never fell off, its light enough as long as you're not jumping the truck and rallying it every weekend I think it'll be fine for the life if the vehicle

Small update, truck underside has been covered in oil again. Believed it was the rear main again so took it to a buddy who does mechanic on the side. Had the whole rear cover replaced along with the seals and what not. He was done in 3hrs! Talk about fast lol. While he was under it he informed to replace the oil cooler gasket so I picked on up today and will get it swapped out.

I did buy new chrome led tag lights for it though. The full replacement ones that have the led boards built in so that's exciting.

Buddy took photos

Looks good. Them players lights are bright af!
That's esky light still trips me out, but hey if it works , it works. Its different than the rest and that's usually a good thing in the mod world

Still planning on colormatching the cap and valance ?
