They are the exact same sized opening I think 03 was the last year they had lights in them? My 04 just has a red lens in the rear doors, yet another GM cost saving measure

Correct.
Let's do a 2003 Escalade Cluster Swap

These Escalade clusters have always been one of the sexiest gauges to me when i first saw them back in the day.

I ordered this one from Digital-Dash-Solutions aka Fix My Gauges

This is the "Black Platinum with Blue Needles and Blue LED backlighting" version.

Their staff is friendly as heck. Sent them my VIN, Mileage, Hours and they programmed that into the new/refurbished one. It shipped immediately and arrived within 3 days.
Couldn't have been any easier.

Check it out. installed

and lit up!

I installed an Escalade cluster also, but I only wanted it for the trans temp gauges. I also did the blue led lights with full rebuild. If I was able to separate the face plate from the clear lens I would've painted the rings black. That's just me tho.

Coming along nicely. I'm looking for a new company to do my door switches to led blue since my main guy is way too busy atm. I think I'm going to attempt to do my front and rear hvac and guages myself with blue led strips.

Btw I do have some door lights for sale in the f/s section.
Can't buy the lens seperately. I did remove my lenses on my truck and paint the insides for a different look.
