Yeah its all done, everything fixed and running great... i spent probably 3k fixing it all up :) Now if it got better gas mileage :) Its like driving a house around town
I bought the smoked ones and didn't like the look plus my DRL didn't work also. I just ordered the clear ones and hopefully they'll work right out the box!
yeah my smoked was bad out the box, i know the guy sent me bad ones.. Hoping i would take more than 30 days. Always buy from Amazon... ive learned that lesson... these direct web sites are shady...
Great video and very informative..! I have a 07 Ext Escalade and my wife hit a deer... I replaced the original grill with one just like yours..anyways I was wondering what year is the Emblem that you used on the front of your grill..?
i have the same headlights- on mine if you hit fog lights on and turn headlights to possers LEDS act as daytime running lights -and /or hit fog lights on daytime running lights should be on within the LEDS- GREAT HEADLIGHT SETUP
if your using factory lights, yes you can swap out LED... they are special order though from the web, you wont find them instore. Since these arent flashers you wont have fast flash either.

Tried led bulbs in sisters old 300M and they were way too blue in actuality and you didn't get much throw down the road. 6 months later the led segments overheated and went half brightness and just eventually completely shut off. Pretty pissed off considering how hard it is to swap bulbs in a first gen 300. Hopefully they have perfected the led lights today. When I put them in they looked super white and bright but 6k color temp was really blue on the road. I don't think they make 5k or 4500k yet. Hope they work OK for you. My Neon I put Depot projector headlights in and they were a huge upgrade in lighting performance. I did keep the old headlights and when it finally died I swapped the old ones back in and kept the new battery and sent it down the road. The headlights are discontinued and are worth more than the car was at that point.
Yeah I hope the LED addons last. This is a Taiwan headlights/taillights and custom. I actually reused the factory Xenon bulbs but the LED is the running and daytime lights. I wanted to upgrade the look and replace the bad stuff(yellowed glazing head lights). I spent a little extra on taillights and grill.
@@darthhemi1735 I think in that case your going to be fine then. You're not actually running led headlight bulbs and the hid or xenon bulbs should be way better anyway as long as the projector housing is made right. I put old School Hella Euro spec headlights in my Dart years ago after seeing how well they worked in my friends 79 Toyota pickup. Best lighting it ever had. Eventually I put 130/80 bulbs in them and never got in trouble because new cars had hid about then.
Does anyone have an idea, after I've tried two sets ordered from two different vendors, why the driver's side DRL does not work? Is it possible that I received the only two non-functioning DRLs out of an otherwise nice assembly that looks great? There may be many vendors but the assemblies are from the same manufacturer.
not sure, yes all same Taiwan plant... I think they are sending you reboxed items... and the USA is full of bad headlights that they keep trying to resell. Order from Akkon
Mines was out when I pit them in and I noticed on other vehicles that the driver's side was out as well. I think it's a malfunction that company is having on DRL lights.
@@eclassauto901 Such a glaring oversight in an otherwise sharp looking and functional set of lights. I typically choose to put the parking lights on when I'm driving. That gets around the DRL being illuminated and it doesn't look bad. The problem is that sometimes I forget to turn the parking light on. Turning them off isn't a problem because I get a reminder.
@@darthhemi1735 I got that impression too late and I thought, 'Well, I'll just be lucky.' I have to disassemble the driver's side and have a look to see if any connectors either deflected out of the way or perhaps were pushed out of their socket. I read comments on earlier postings, primarily Amazon, about the individual contact prongs being pushed backwards as the connection is made. Everything else works well. My temporary workaround is to switch-on the parking lights which activates the outer square of the lighting system. Headlight work fine, high and low beam.
Am about to buy this headlights but my concern is the projectors beam which one is better oem headlights or that aftermarket ones . If you have time make a night driving video thank you
yeah I should, realize it uses the factory bulbs so its the same light. They are still going strong (daytime running lights working fine now) I def would recommend these.
@@darthhemi1735 There not shipped abs sold by Amazon though. That could be problematic if the headlights come defective or if they start acting up. They also seem to only have the headlights in black at the moment.
I'm excited to see it all come together
Yeah its all done, everything fixed and running great... i spent probably 3k fixing it all up :) Now if it got better gas mileage :) Its like driving a house around town
Nice i got the same grille and headlights.It makes the truck look real nice
Yeah I really like it 10x better than stock

2013 to 18 I am pretty sure, they have blacked out ones, gold ones and factory on ebay
@darthhemi1735 Awesome... and Thank you

Can the daytime running bulbs be replaced or its a whole new light?

@@darthhemi1735 Ok.. wanted to change the color on the daytime.. Thanks

I might of missed it, did you have to paint the the sides of the grill
yeah they come black. I bought the GM paint in a can
@@darthhemi1735 Thanks. I’m gonna do the same thing
Does this work with the factory platinum escalade headlights version?
the grill?
No they do not and why change Plat. lights for these cheaper ones when Plat. looks better and cost 3x more?

toss it in trash... its worthless

How did you get the new emblem to fasten to the grille?
just used some zip ties/wire and stickup nothing crazy
Is that new escalade emerald
Hey where can I find a headlight Module like u point out in the video
i got the headlights off Amazon, only buy there so you dont pay a huge restocking if it goes bad
El cable blanco con azul a mi me sobra que ago ahí ??
Question . I have 2007 ESV NON PLATINUM . Will the EXT grill like this one fit my 2007 ESV ? . Thanks .
The truck I put it on is a non Platiunum
@@darthhemi1735 I don't think you quite understood my question. I looked on ebay and I see the ext doesn't fit the esv . They look identical to me .
@@gardyfaustin8707 there is some confusion in the listings from what I saw.
Then i found some that list the esv/ext grills. It will work
@@darthhemi1735 exactly my point . Confused also 😂😂
What is the center light for does it ever come on
the center lights are the daytime running lights
the surround lights are parking and also on with headlights
I tried two sets and the driver's side DRL does not work with either. I'm attempting to troubleshoot the problem.
@@TralfazConstruction yeah I was reading your lucky if they work

As folks have asked how do the square lights come on
they come on automatically.
Where u get the grille?? I just bought a 08 a couple months ago same color
I think amazon, they are cheap
Hey I can’t find your exact grill can u send a link?
En el mío trae una ploga con un alambre negro y otro blanco pero me llego sin la parte que ensambla ahí es necesaria ?
A mi también me llego sin esa resistencia, la pudiste encontrar?
You got a direct link to that grille? It's a shame we have to tear these apart to replace them but man what an improvement!
I got it on Amazon or eBay... Can't remember..
Am about to buy this headlights but my concern is the projectors beam which one is better oem headlights or that aftermarket ones .

From where i can buy this grill?
I got off Amazon.
Hey I have a question how can I reach u
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
Grabbing my Popcorn 🍿
Lol it's a long one .
Link to the paint to color match the grill?
get two cans, and you will need clear coat... you can get the 1k or 2k clear coat... ebay.us/nhjpUI
What brand clear coat? Link?
@@mamalonaobs actually maybe only need one can, primer and 2k or 1k clear you can get at any parts store
My regulator is different from yours and they don’t plug in the same with my new wires
@@sabinohernandez1704 hmm maybe new design?
Question.
Where did you find those headlights in chrome? I can’t seem to find them.
Thank you in advance
they are on Amazon. Akkon
@@darthhemi1735
There not shipped abs sold by Amazon though.
That could be problematic if the headlights come defective or if they start acting up.
They also seem to only have the headlights in black at the moment.
Lol everything is hard
