Sorry for the dumb questions, i'll be a know it all soon enough. lol, so with that said, Those are the stock escalade tails? If so, are they a direct fit on the Tahoe as well?

Hey Slowr which company did you use for the led tails? also which HID kit are you using with the tails are they easy install? plus any problems with burning the housing or anything?

The tail lights are 07-09 year model with the clear housing and appear to be GM Part Number 19166175. There are a few sets on eBay right now, just search for Clear Escalade Tail. Here's a link to one of the current auctions. They are a direct fit but unfortunately are not "plug and play". The escalade tail light wiring harness has 6 wires and the Yukon/Tahoe tails only have 5. In addition to purchasing the tails I had to purchase a pair of stock Yukon tail light harnesses(they are only 1.5 feet long) so my stock lights could be left intact. I also had to purchase two trailer wiring harnesses from a local auto parts store(one for each Esky tail light) and also four 6ohm 50Watt resistors(two per Esky tail light) to simulate a filament bulb's load from the much more effecient LED's. I then ended up spending about four hours per tail light splicing/soldering/heat shrinking. Here is a link to the instructions I used from chevroletforum.com
The HID mod is simple, but must be spliced into the reverse light wiring on the harness itself and the ballasts have to be mounted as well. The H11 HID kit on eBay but it is not intended to be used for reverse lights (no issues with heat so far, but I also don't have them powered on for more than 30-45 seconds at a time). Slight modification was needed before the H11's would seat flush into the housing. I chose to modify the bulb instead of the housing, and only had to remove one small plastic tab on each bulb, then used silicone to hold them in place. The user Laredo Texas on TahoeForum.com blew his reverse fuse when doing this mod and switched to a higher rated fuse thereafter(I have not blown any fuses and all of mine are still stock).

Seeing that those are pretty damn nice wheels, can you give them to me for FREEEEEEEEEEE. :p

Can I ask where you got them and what did the wheels and tires cost in total?

Did you just lower the yukon? It seems to have a lower stance in the last couple of pictures you posted.

It was a pain to get ahold of these. They are actually discontinued, so I went through a nightmare to get them. I could not locate them anywhere and managed to find them on e-bay from a seller who seemed pretty reputable. He confirmed to me before I bought them that the had them in the correct bolt pattern/offset that I needed. When I actually received them I only got one correct and the other 3 were all different offset/bolt patterns.

He said that he would ship out correct ones, but that didn't happen. I ended up having to get a credit for them via my credit card company.

I ended up finding these from a member on another forum and they were brand new in the box.

I paid 2 grand for the rims and then around 1,500 for tires.


They might be up for sale in the future as I am thinking about going 26's
