Eagle Eye Gen 5 LED Tails on E-Bay

That IS the question.. it's pretty much what's holding me back from getting the oem esky appliques lol

Buy some mirrors on eBay that have em and sell yours back on eBay! It's that easy lol.

I posted this in my thread but wanted to show people who look at this thread the G5 Tails with SMD-LED Reverse lights.

What were you expecting? >kidding!< Haha

Seriously though... I'd be surprised if your lights were "back in sync" with any kind of permanence. What I mean is, I don't think they "reset" until the next time that you apply the brakes -- I just think that each time the brakes are pressed when the blinker is already on, it'll start the sequence over starting with the blinker light coming on.

So, if your blinker is something like this:

On....On....On...On...

Then applying the brake might do this:

On...On/On...On...On...

I don't think it STAYS in that pattern... I think that when the brake is stabbed, the light flashes, no matter where in the pattern the flasher was, and then flashes in time from there.

I don't think there's any correcting it. And if you're so OCD that you TRY to keep it in sync by timing your braking, well, you should see someone about that. LOL

Again, I don't know that the oem ones don't respond the same exact way. They may. They may not. BUT, I'm pretty sure they blink WITH the mirror's signal, and not opposite. (Could be wrong about that one, too.)

Remember, there are three possible scenarios:

1. The tail, mirror, and in-dash flasher all blink together.
2. The tail and flasher blink together while the mirror is opposite.
3. The tail and mirror blink together while the flasher is opposite.

To be sure what's going on, I'd back up toward a wall at night and see what's going on once and for all.

We may have a well thought out product here. Under no circumstances have I been able to get these "out of sync". They were flashing opposite of my mirror when only one side was plugged in. I did that on the first one to be sure I had the polarity correct on my reverse LED bulb. Since both lights have been installed, at no time have they been out of sync with the mirrors if it matters to anyone. They look and function exactly like Escalade tails do when they're installed on an Escalade. No hot resistors, no out of sync flashing. The only downside so far is the fairly loud flasher box. Just a FYI.

Yes! Something else to spend a lot of money on! Ha

Those look really nice! Me

 

[felixgun]

They were well worth it

My truck is pretty dark colored (Bermuda Blue), think I could get away without the Esky appliques for a while?

 

[felixgun]

Yea I think you could... I'm currently 'getting away' with it right now lol.. it's not that bad... but I still want the appliques. I finally got the Yukon applique that goes above my license plate to change out the bubbly Tahoe one so that's what i'm currently working on right now...

Same here. Mine's black and I'm holding off on that until I finalize the suspension mods. I'll get them eventually, but you only really notice it if you're up close and know what to look for.
