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.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
