Are u having any issiues with the lights?

The only issue I had was the circumference of the end of the LED light seemed to be a tab bit smaller then the regular halogen lights. Reaching in an slightly bending the to two clamps fixed it. This also could have been from removing the old lights. When removing them I had to pull straight down and the two clamps could have bent out. ( When you replace yours you will see what im talking about). Also remember that if you plug the LED light in and it does not work you may have it in the wrong way. The first one I replaced did not work. Then realized that I had the light in the wrong way. I had the polarity wrong.
I used them tonight and have to admit they throw out some serious light.

I actually made the thread for the 00-06's...

L.E.D. Bulb Conversion/Cross Reference List

Nice write-up Nathan! I'm not finding a similar cross reference for the NNBS. Does anyone have the bulb sizes for our vanity, dome and puddle lights? Or are they the same??

so in other words... i probably just burned my $16... no biggie, i heard money grows on trees now a days

I bought some cheaper ones before and they burnt out REAL quick. I changed them out with some quality SMD/SMT-LED bulbs and they lasted much longer. When I changed from the Tahoe to the Escalade I just did the exterior LED change out though because I found that the white LED's were just too "white" versus the warm yellow of the stock incandescent bulbs.

The three spots in the roof are festoon bulbs so 6 total.

Here is a site I have been using for quite some time. I recently bought 6 dome LED lights from them and switched over to them tonight.
Here is the site:

Here is a Pic of the lights. They work nice and really illuminate the previous dark spots.

Total for the 6 Lights was 16.20. The 4 LEDs you see at the top of the picture is a string set that I added since the SSV Tahoes dont have rear cargo lights.

Just place a order with two extra's!!! Even got 5% off with free shipping!!! Just remembered, that I have 2nd row TV with built in dome light..will these work??
