After being on back order for awhile, I finally got my Rigid Ignites and installed them last week...... best upgrade to my truck so far! I found the 1.75” hole saw worked best to cut out the step and I managed to use the supplied stop nuts (although the top one is a PIA) to mount the lights with the help of a friend. I used a 14-16ga blue Posi-Tap into the white wire w/ the green stripe from the trailer harness for power. I did tie both positive wires from the lights together and then used a butt connector to extend the length with an 18ga wire because the wires coming from the right light didn’t have much slack. I then inserted the 18ga wire into the Posi-Tap and tightened the connector. I did the same with the ground wires, tied them together and extended the length with a butt connector and some 18ga wire with a ring terminal connected to the other end. Without doing this, I wouldn’t be able to reach the factory ground connection with wire from the right light. I then loosened he factory bolt attached to the ground on the frame (this was located just forward of the trailer harness) and attached the ring connector.

I've been disappointed with the lack of illumination of my reverse lights for awhile and I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I just ordered a pair of the Rigid Ignites today. If anyone is looking to buy a set of these, northridge4x4.com has them listed for $98.79. The price seemed too good to be true since most places are selling them for $123, so I called customer support and they confirmed the price. I also signed up for a first time buyers coupon code online which saved me an additional $5, bringing my total to $93.79 with free shipping.

My own 8 speed problems & resolution
cev103 replied to brendan4862's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Troubleshooting
I'm just curious.....is it mostly trucks with the 6.2L engine, or is this more of a global problem that includes the 5.3L engines as well? I only ask because from what I can tell is that most of the people commenting on this thread seem to have the 6.2L w/ the 8 speed transmission. -
2016 SLT lights in 14/15 SLT/All Terrain almost done

I have the All Terrain logo and pattern on the dash, floor mounted center console and contrast stitching on the dash and seats, but it's light gray thread instead of red like the SLT's. All Terrain badging on the exterior, but it can e with 18" wheels instead of 20". -

I have a 2015 Sierra SLE, but because it has the All Terrain package it came stock with SLT headlamps. -

The price of $1942.51 did include a core charge of $50 per unit. -

No, it doesn't include labor. I was planning on doing the install myself, it looks relatively easy. Thanks for the link. -

I know the 2016 Denali headlights can be purchased on eBay for around $500 each, but those usually have broken mounting points and that doesn't interest me. Have any of you guys gone to a dealership and bought these and if so, what are the part #'s and what did you pay? The only reason I ask is a friend of mine is a mechanic at a GMC dealership and he can buy stuff for 15% above cost. He got me a quote and it came back at $1942.51 which includes sales tax. This seems ridiculously high to me. -

I also got this email today and I just got off the phone with Leon from this particular law firm. He seems like a very nice guy and after talking with him I've learned that his been dealing with vehicle related legal issues for 30 years. He took down my personal info as well as info pertaining to my Sierra. He stated that there was approximately 500,000 Sierras built between 2014-2015 that are affected by the issues with the headlights. He also stated that there are several law firms across the country that have joined together to move forward with this lawsuit and that they would not have taken on this task if they didn't believe that there was a viable case. If you own one of these affected Sierras it is absolutely important that you contact these people, there is no financial obligation to anyone who wants to be added to this class action lawsuit. Its time to stop complaining about these pathetic headlights on these forums and instead focus your efforts into joining this lawsuit. If there has every been any chance to make GMC fix this issue.....this is it! Strength in numbers is what's going to help this succeed.
