    Update: 1 year and a half later yet no technical/mechanical issues with lights. I lived in place with lots of cold weather like snow, ice, wind, & salt (North Dakota) so if there was a place to test durability it was that place. Some folks commented that they didn't need to do all the extra steps that I did (like adding dialectric to connections). Mama said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". So I suggest following the video since I've yet to have not even 1 issue @ all. There are as good as factory. I'll be sure to post an update if and issue comes up.

      I ran into an issue after 3 yrs, but not really that troublesome. The black box/led resistor went bad because water got into the wiring. Got hyper flash on the driver's side when using turn signals. Just replaced with an Amazon/ebay led resistor and problem solved. All led lights still work and no condensation problems. Still love the look of them.

    Thank you for going through the hassle and spending the time to put up this installation video. I plan to do this on my '14 Tahoe and wanted to see how involved the conversion would be. Looks easy enough and I like the style. How do you like it so far? Reverse light visibility good? Any issues with people not seeing your brakes or signals ? Plastic holding up to weather not losing clarity and shine?

    • @Maknificent12now
      @Maknificent12now  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just posted an update on the lights durability. Short version is no. As long as you do it right the first time it would seem you'll have little to no issues.

    • @Maknificent12now
      @Maknificent12now  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s “plug & play” so oem harness from suburban works perfectly with the new lights . Keep in mind you have to purchase aftermarket Escalade lights specifically built to fit on a suburban. If you Purchase normal Escalade lights then yes you’d then have to find a harness to retrofit. 😳 Make it easy on yourself and look at Amazon or eBay link in description🤙🏿

Living in NY where snow is a normal thing, a small amount of salt got in to one of the connectors and completely destroyed it and unfortunately ruined the connectors under the truck from back feeding. After rewiring the light and applying a generous amount of dielectric grease this time should be fine. The cause of the issue was down to the connectors provide by the light is slightly small and does not deal properly.
