When the new '07 Escalades arrived on the scene in late '06, everyone loved the avant-garde look with HID headlights, fender vents, and of course, the full LED taillights with turn signals. What if we told you a company just released LED taillights for your ride and you could have the luxurious look of LED taillights for under $300? Guess what, ANZO USA now has sweet-looking LED taillights for most late-model trucks and SUVs and the price point is just right. Using topnotch electronics and load adjusters, the lights blink at the normal rate, but with dozens of extra-bright LED bulbs, the taillights light up the night. Want a pair for your ride? Go where we went, Godfather Customs. You can check them out at gcustoms.com. Godfather Customs had the lowest prices on ANZO lights and for an extra $89.95, we splurged and picked up the LED 3rd brake light as well. Our test truck was an '08 GMC Yukon and after the install, people swore we had the Yukon Denali because of our slick LED taillights. To turn the screwdrivers while we took the photos, we cruised over to Chassis By Aaron Iha, in Covina, California, for a quick 1/2-hour install. If your ride is in need of some new style, this is a great way to go for less dough.

Out of the box from Godfather Customs, the ANZO USA LED taillights looked very luxurious and reminded us of the lights from a newer Escalade.

Here's the old factory brake lights. There's nothing really wrong with them, except they're just like all the other Yukon lights and for $300, why not upgrade them?

With the hatch open, Ben, from Chassis By Aaron Iha, in Covina, California, used a Torx driver to remove the taillight screws. He then pulled the assembly free.

It wasn't real hard to do the next step, Ben simply pulled the factory bulbs out and discarded the stock lights.

The wires from coming the ballast were then connected to the harness that was plugged into the factory light bulb harness. Then the light assembly was installed on each side. It was very easy.
