My interior lights are more purple than they are white...and they give me a headache. I have ordered a count of 10 194-LED bulbs to do the complete exterior of my Tahoe as well as my mom's Escalade, plus 2 extra for her parking lights.

So, for those with interior LED's that are a good quality white, where did you get them?

Also, the Escalade uses a weird, unknown 5201 bulb for the DRL's. No one at the Cadillacforum website has been able to find an LED equivalent. Any of you guys have any knowledge on this bulb? My mom doesn't really like modding, but she does want to swap as many incandescent bulbs for LED's as possible. :Handshake:

Thanks

Well, nevermind the DRL part because they later figured it out. Does this look worth $100 a pair to you guys?

It would be nice to see if you could even see them during the daylight. For some reason I don't think you would be able to.

Go to V-leds. They have the best quality LED's. For the 194's, they have the cheaper "chinese specials" or better bulbs in different colors. Use 5K 194's, not 6K which are more "blue" or purple. Very satisfied with their products compared to superbrightLEDs. Not the cheapest, but definitely better quality than E-bay or the "other" site. My LTZ is 100% LED now, inside and out.

5202 Bulbs will work for the Escalade, I had the LED 5202 bulbs in my foglights in my Denali and looked good. I think they are Oracle and I am glad I took them out of my Denali now I can put them in my Escalade DRL's and see how they look.

Didn't you have that red Denali?! I didn't know you traded! Nice Escalade. :D

If you get those 5202's installed then please post some pictures and maybe a write up of how to access those...but wait, if Denali fogs are really 880 and you used a 5202, does that mean that an 880 bulb will fit in the Escalade lights? That would give us a lot more LED options with lower prices!

my 2004 Denali fogs were 880's but the 07 used 5202 bulbs not 880. I thought the Tahoes used 5202's in their fogligths as well don't they? The Escalade fogs say thwy use H-10's or I think even 9145 bulb do you know if that is right? Thanks I love my new Escalade
