cts & escalade

[the cadillac kid]

does anyone know if the escalade bumpers are installed just like ours?

i know its a b**ch to access our headlights on the cts, but is it just as difficult, or simpiler, on the escalades?

thanks!

01-06 or the new 2007 Escalades? I know I can get my dad's escalade apart in less than 5 mins (the headlamps and the grill completely out), bumper seems like it would like another 10-15. The 01-06 escalade's are built so simple, I can have the dash apart in about a minute, try that with the CTS ahah. Well hope this helped!

Btw, do you have a escalade?

i was gonna buy hid's from this guy, but he advertised he could also install them for extra charge (price depending on how difficult the install would be).

i asked him if he ever worked on my car, he said no, but listed a bunch of cars he has worked on. ... benzes, vw, lexus, escalades, etc.

so i thought, "well, i know its mad hard to get to the headlights on the cts, but maybe GM installed their cars similarly. .. So if he's done a lade, then he shouldnt have a problem with the cts; both same manufacturer..."

Escalade lights are easy to access. There was a big problem with thieves stealing the HID units because they were so easy to get to.

On most cars, it's easy to install a HID kit. There's no drilling into the housing for wires or anything. But on the CTS, it's a pain in the ass.

^ true that

But if you do it the first time, you can do it again in like 15 min...I can take the front end off, install the HID, prep it for re install, and intall the front end in a matter of like 15 min...E Z

I'd like to see that... Seriously...

Removing the bumper, drilling the headlamp housing, sealing it back up, all in 15 mins lol.

I shoulda paid you to do mine. I can't even get the bumper off in 15 mins... It probably takes 5 minutes to remove all those stupid pins.
