Did you have to do any special wiring etc.? I tried putting LED bulbs in some of my lights and had to by all these resistors etc and some of them didn't work at all after that.
New LED taillights install.

No special wiring! Truly plug and play! All resistors or ballast is all integrated into the harness. I just unplugged my old harness and plugged these right up. I will tell you something a bit embarrassing however. I panicked a bit when I could not find the OE plug for the lights that was on my Tahoe that matched the new lights. I went back to Amazon and posted a question. I thought I was screwed when folks said that it was "plug and play" and I thought they were full of it. Then someone told me that my harness connection was underneath slightly past the bumper. A few moments of searching would have solved that...

Nice taillights really. Sadly full red is nopt permitted in my country.
So either I wait for the chinese to make a tail with orange blinker or I 'll have to relocate the blinker into the back up light and then add White back up light to the trailer hitch.
I still could use the red turn signal light as rear anti-fog lights.
Well that's not my priority right now. Tools for removing rear bearings are so d... expensive !

Geeze, sorry to read that! I understand that every country have their way of doing things and there is a reason for it but it still sucks. If I run across something that matches your spec I will post back to you as I'm always looking for something to add to my Tahoe.

I'm 100% positive they make an red led tail light with amber turn integrated for silverados. But I'll keep an eye out for the tahoe too.

Don't know how strict they are over there but here's a thought. Use some thin style led amber markers for turns. Tuck them up somewhere and wire them up to your turns. Under the bumper, top of the bumper under the hatch, or wherever. Use clear or smoked. Then pick out whatever tails your heart desires.
