Hey Guys:

 

I have an 06 sierra 1500 and id like to put the denali headlights from the suv's on my truck. I have been doing some research and have discovered that they are plug and play physically. ( they will fit in the original place the original sierra headlights sat) My question is regarding the wiring. I DO NOT want HID's. all i want is the original projector lights to shine. I have not seen the back of the denali headlight. That being said.. will a oem denali headlight being used in an oem way hook up to my factory sierra wiring harness. by just clipping my plug into the bulb?

 

thanks

I have a 05 Denali and there is nothing special about the bulbs or wiring I think. Maybe cross reference the bulb numbers between your truck and a Denali and see if they are the same. I think mine are 9005 and 9006. You just might have to do some rearranging, but I'm not 100% sure on this.

in short, yes it will.

 

Only difference between the two headlights are the bulbs are different. For example, on one truck the low beams are 9005's, and on the other they are 9006's. The high beams are either 9005's in one truck and the other being 9006's. I'm too lazy to walk outside to check, but i know they are different. Check on a headlight bulb retailer website and you will find out easily.

Lows are 9006 as that has the painted "tip". 9005s are all clear and usually a high beam. The Denali trucks may use HIR bulbs in which case they'll be 9011/12s I think. Don't know the order on those though for high/low.

My 02 uses the 9005's. You should be able to use your bulb in the Denali Headlight. If not you would need a connector for from the Denali's headlight wiring harness. It should be an easy mod.

Yes, plug and play. It has a built in wiring harness to convert the plug for a 9006 bulb to a 9005 bulb.

Before I retroited mine for an hid projector I had them in my truck. They are a straight swap, and when you get a set, make sure they come with the harness that is attached to them like the guys said above. Denali lights have 9005 hi and low, Sierra lights have 9006 low and 9005 hi. A 9005 will fit in a 9006 headlight, but not the other way around.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
