Escalade G5 LED quick question

[DwDrummer]

Is Eagle Eye the only company that makes the new G5 Escalade replica tail lights? Thinking about ordering a set but noticed this set has the reverse lights smoked and didn't know if it was just the picture or they actually offer the lights with the smoked reverse section.

Thanks,
DW

If those are Eagle Eye then it's just the pic.

A few companies offer these other than eagle eye including anzo ... i've always believed that these are all made at the same factory in china and get branded once they get over here. I could be wrong tho.

 

[DwDrummer]

Yeah I think your right lol! I think it looks retarted having the reverse light smoked and the rest of the tail light red haha.

No, I think Eagle Eyes is the cheaper version/copy of Anzo lights. You can tell by the price difference and overall looking quality of their products.

Look at that, marketing works!

Honestly I can't even tell the eagle eyes aren't oem, never mind anzos ... and trust me, as only I would do i went and parked at a Caddy dealership and stared at them side by side for half an hour.

And overall, given that anzo nnbs headlights are as catastrophic as all the other ones I'm still inclined to believe that they all come from the same factories. IPCW and Spyder also have tons of overlapping aftermarket parts.

Who really knows where this stuff comes from.

Yeah that is true Serge. I'm still yet to see the actual difference in wiring on the two lights but there are many other areas that are quality affected.
Whichever one that had less quality probably has way less QC, meaning they will leak water and condense more. The EE's are notorious for resistor and seal failure.
My Gen 4 lights from almost a year ago had this issue that caused the opposite light to have a very subtle blink while the other was blinking while the turn signal was on. My IPCW and current DEPO lights never did such.
Straight from the box, I could tell my DEPO lights had more quality than the Eagle Eyes. My IPCWs had the most "looks" quality but they had seal issues that needed resealing with silicon.

Derek I saw those on eBay. They make them with the red/smoke reverse light AND red/clear reverse light.

 

[soulsea]

Mmm ...

Well, if so, Eagle Eye would have two different PNs for them no?

 

[felixgun]

Hmm I'm guessing so. I just saw two different auctions going one smoked reverse and one clear.

Thanks really don't know why somebody would want the reverse light smoked and leave the tail light red
