Sorry to be off topic felix but when you put the yukon applique on will you take some pics and let us know how hard it is to do. I really want to switch mine but have heard its a PITA and you sometimes have to break the old bolts to get it off. BTW the lights looks amazing that will be one of my next mods after the lockpick

Beware that the G4's brake lights are not nearly as visible as the G5's because all three rows are running lights. I thought about them too, but that is why I decided against them. I hate when I am behind someone with aftermarket LED tails and you can't tell if they are braking or not. Take a look at the Yukon LED tails on ebay, they look pretty descent.

I never really noticed that... Both look good but the way the LED lights are curved and the overall shape of the tail is what drew me to the new tails... I loved the G4's and liked how they had a whole row lit up on the side. On the G5 LED tails it is only 4 LED's at the bottom/side of the tail which looks good and is identical to the esky tails but I really liked how the G4's had the whole row lit up.

I don't agree with this at all. The G4s have two levels of brightness: bright, and REALLY bright. There's absolutely no problem discerning the difference between the running brightness and brake brightness, day or night.

True, there are LED tails out there that don't show much difference between the running lights and braking lights brightness, but I don't agree that the G3s or G4s are in this category.

Ok, I must have been mistaken. I had another member that told me that, can't remember who it was though. My bad for the wrong info.

Anyone getting the black (smoked) G5s? Would love to see what they look like on a black yukon.

Tom, look at BlackedOutLT3 -- his ride has oem esky tails (G5 tails are basically a replica of the oem esky tails). He has a black tahoe with the tails tinted/blacked out. Looks good.
