Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any luck finding aftermarket tailight replacements for the 2014 sierra 1500 with OEM factory LED tailights. Literally very very rare to find. Only ever find Halogen replacement. OR is there a way to fit the Halogen OEM setup into the truck?? I've looked everywhere. No straight answers. The problem I have is I bought the truck used in 2016 at 36k. The goof that had it before installed some aftermarket tailights that worked with LED factory harness, which I believe are these ones: https://www.tdotperformance.ca/products/spyder-automotive-5080707-led-tail-lights-black-smoke.html?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16186571898&gbraid=0AAAAAD1t1bWUgzQKgfKbn9BDfh-URpODA&gclid=Cj0KCQjw953DBhCyARIsANhIZoZzYyW4UlpMKUR-oso_Wagh_SW8lo3LMvtlENuPAXInfryh5Cdp_dsaAtTHEALw_wcB#2014-gmc-sierra_1500?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ToF_Search_PerformanceMax_&utm_term=_ The resistors on PCBs rotted out and I managed to find the same ones at a wrecker 4 years later. Started with hyperflashing developing in high heat conditions. Well low an behold, the replacements I put in are doing the same now. I need a fix. Because tailights that fit factory LED are so hard to find I tried to see what it would take to change the truck over to OEM Halogen harness. Is it just a wiring harness?? Or does BCM need flashing aswell? I've called dealers and they want diagnostic fee.. Parts guy told me BCM needs flashing possibly but didn't know forsure. GM technical support says "We recommend you don't alter your vehicle from factory." thanks GM... Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end and I don't want hyperflashing anymore.

I replaced my pass side light bulb about 5 months ago with the same type of halogen bulbs that they come with out of the factory and one day i realized that the same side as before went out. Before that one went out i had a set of after market LED lights. these to be exact https://www.amazon.ca/Lumen-9012HLC-G7-LED-Performance-Bulbs/dp/B01N5Q0TMA i ran those LED's on my truck and they looked great! everything was plug and play they lasted for about 4 months when my pass side bulb gave out on those too. when i took out the bulb to inspect it one of the LED diodes was blown out. I wasn't too surprised by that because sometimes after market parts can be a bit cheaper quality. But when my OEM halogen bulbs went out. thats 3 sets of bulbs in less than 2 years. I am just wondering. Is this bad luck?? Have any of you had this issue before?? if you did what was causing it?? any troubleshooting tips?? I really dont want to keep buying light bulbs every 5 months even the halogen bulbs are a little expensive
