This is the kit you want. No need for the CANBUS.

This is the kit I'm running. I called to order my kit from TRS and they told me what I needed. No Canbus required. Capacitor link is required.

From what I under stand. The SLT and Denali model might not need the Canbus since their DRL is using LED instead of the low beam.

The SLE and lower model might need the Canbus to run full power because there DRL using low beam as the power source.

The Canbus is just preventing the buzzing noise and flickering issues.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll get the Canbus if I was you, just for a piece of mind. If it doesn't need it,you can always resale them to the member on here.. ;)

Guys running a canbus harness were experiencing buzzing of the relays. The TRS guys recommended using a capacitor link instead of the canbus harness. It works on mine.

ok.. no canbus it is.....for Sierra SLT with LED DRL... so the final answer is below..

So what about the Silverado. It's those the same kit I need to get for that truck as well. Looking to get this ordered ASAP. Need these lights to be much better.

We really need to get 2 seperate sub treads... 1 just for Silverado and 1 for Sierra.

FWIW I have a SLE model and did not use the Canbus. I have no buzzing and the lights work flawlessly.

I got the 3 five 4300 kit with can bus for my 14 sierra all terrain all plug and play no issues. Install took close to 1 hour. I tried another kit before immediately got a check light. I'm happy with the setup. Easiest install.

Everything was plug and play?

Yes

[CL8N]

Yes

I didn't think they made anything plug and play for the Sierra. That's what I need

[ozzyto]

Unless I did something wrong. But it was plug and play. No splicing and has been running flawless going on 3 weeks.

Got the 9012 kit 3 five kit with can bus

It's an easy install. The only "non plug n play" items are you do need to drill holes in the back of the headlight housing covers for the wires, you'll need to find a +12V source and a decent ground location if you use the HID relay harness (and I recommend you do). I wouldn't consider these items plug n play, but they are also very, very easy. A novice should have no difficulty whatsoever.
