I think I posted too high of resolution photos or linked my google photos incorrectly. Sorry. Try right clicking on an image and select Open Image in New Tab.

I took some video but am new to posting and creating and modifying on all fronts. Nonetheless, the finished result has received many a compliment thus far. LMKWYT. Let Me Know What You Think. Thank you. JB

All done with installing the new 2019/2020 Sierra GMC backlit emblem on my 2016 Yukon. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here is what I did in no particular order. No laughing allowed. 1-------Remove old emblem. 2-------OEM (above) vs Backlit (below) 3-------Grind protruding retainers from Grille. (retainers seen in image 1---) 4-------Use OEM backplate as a template to address inconsistencies with the new emblem/harness attachment points and mounting studs. Worked out great for maintaining a level and centered mount! 5-------Hole cut in backplate for 12v power supply. 6-------marked and cut hole in grille. Also drilled hole for studs (drilled hole seen in image---3) 7-------Grind off seven clips. 8-------Slight harness splicing to correct lighting performance. (turn signal troubleshoot). Used a Fluke Meter to associate 12v supply with feed manipulation. 9-------Drilled and placed backup custom pins.

Here it is at night. Everything is looking good. Just need to figure out mounting and harness reroute.

I know this thread is for real truck owners, but I do like the new emblem. I ordered one for my 2016 Yukon XL Denali. The logo arrived last night and I feverishly hooked up the plug'n'play harness that accompanies it. Long story short, it was integrated to my turn signal. I re-spliced the jumpers off the signal and onto the feed for my marker lamps. Seems to work now, but I can not tell it is on in the daylight. Obviously it is more noticeable at night. Also the logo illuminates when I turn on my fog light. might have to try another wire that is hot when parking lights are on. Question. Is the brightness/intensity satisfactory for you? I wish it was a little more intense. Maybe it is not meant for a 12V setup. I will figure out mounting later. If this comes together, I will update with some better pics.
