Kbuskill's 2008 Burb LTZ "MOD" Thread

[Sam Harris]

Sounds good, what's with the tail lights?

LEDs do that on film. They pulse, but can’t be seen to the naked eye

I never would've thought that the factory resonator would have such an impact. I could BARELY tell a difference when I removed mine, but that was with the stock muffler.

Me either... but I also never would've thought the cats would make that big of difference either.... lesson learned, at least for me... lol

lazy response riding Sam's coat tails again I think @89Suburban would prefer and more personal response. Please try again

This is the good thing with forums such as this. People sharing the details of their mods can save someone else down the road some headache and money. I'll be going catless when I get headers, and I'm now considering adding short glasspack style mufflers to the Y-pipe in the areas where there would be cats.

You are correct, as usual, Sir.

My deepest and most sincere apologies go out to @89Suburban for selling you short on this answer. I was slow in my response, and Sam had already answered your question, so I very lazily just jumped onto the band wagon.

To better illustrate this phenomenon, the next time you get behind an Escalade or some other vehicle with LED tail lights at a stop light, shift your eyes back and forth rapidly while looking at the tail lights and take note of what you see.

Also, here is some more interesting info for your reading pleasure...

Basically it has to do with pulse width modulation drivers for the LEDs and the cameras 30FPS recording.

The pulses/flashes are almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

MUCH better and apology accepted!

@89Suburban is a tougher sell and may still be pissed but I guess only time will tell.

I never seen that shit before? And I watch a lot of YouTube driver fails videos. Like right now I am watching idiots on wheel's channel. I was just wondering if that was a mod you did to your lights because, besides that rippin bad ass exhaust tone, that would certainly piss people off behind you LOL!!!!!

It only happens on vid. You wouldn't be able to see it with just your eye balls

Except when I hit my brakes. I have completely modified the rear lights on the Burb.

The turn signals are now combined with the reverse lights in the clear reverse lens and the original turn signal (lower red lens) is now an additional brake light and all 4 strobe when you first hit the brakes and then go solid.

And don't even get me started on the Esky 3rd brake light I modified.... epileptics beware... lol

Here is a video showing how the reverse light and turn signal work.
