RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

@chevrol8t got the type with the C shaped tube, and you just unplug the factory wire harness and plug these in... no having to mess with plugging into the light sockets (read post #34).
Might have gone with that type if I hadn't already bought the set I have on my truck.

If I ever get a wild hair and buy led tails these would be it. Love the ccfl tube look instead of the individual leds.

@W8TVI , gotta pic of said harness under the rear bumper? I'm so confused. I'm fairly certain the only kind of wiring harness anywhere near my rear bumper is the trailer light hookup on my tow package.

No, I do not. The LED tails I put on my truck hooked into the light bulb plugs, but @chevrol8t said in his post that the "harness connection was underneath slightly past the bumper."
(It is also too cold out right now to go out and lay on the ground to take a picture)

Yeah I read through the post and it was pretty confusing. I did a Google image search and found a picture of a light swap on a 2000 suburban showing that under body harness. I will look in the morning to see if my truck has that harness. In the meantime, my led tails don't even have a harness that will reach down and plug in. So whether my truck has that harness underneath or not, my led tails won't work. They aren't compatible. I will have to return them and wait for a refund, and then order the ones that he has with a harness that reaches down. Damn.... this really sucks..... stuff just can't ever be simple. ..

For what it's worth, I did find this on the GM parts website:


And it shows the same parts for a 2006 truck, as well.

And a little more googling turned up this photo from amazon:

Yeah that's just a stock tail. But I can see the Grey harness that goes down under the truck. The tails the other guy has, has that exact harness to run down and mine don't. So I don't think my leds will work unless they get completely rewired. Which I'm not capable of. So for the time being I've messaged the seller to try and get the return started so I can get a refund on them.

Seller that sold me my tails is a distributor and they have the warehouse tech trying to figure out why the left turn signal doesn't flash the same as the right. They want to send me some resistors to attach to the brake sockets to try and fix cruise issue. Will see what happens with it. In the mean time I finally got my mechanic buddy to drill out a small section of my headlight brackets to allow my vouke G8s to go into my highbeams and clear the bracket. Used them last night and the leds are killer.

Also debadged my front doors yesterday. Drivers side denali lettering was starting to peel.

Passenger side badges gone too.
