2016 Changes (Headlights, tail lights, and bumper?)

nadrojcote · May 20, 2015

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but it appears there are some changes coming in 2016. Looks like new headlights. Projector looks smaller to me, I'm willing to bet on some factory HID's with the amount of complaints they've had about light out put on the 2014-2015's. Also its hard to tell but the fog lights look like they're narrower and less square shaped. Well the slotting does anyways.

Also cant help but notice they've apparently been bought out by ford.

Hope they fix the vibrating steering and HD radio reception. I'm ready to trade for a ford

They got rid of hd radio in 2015, probably because of the reception. I dont have any issue with my 2014 though.

From closer inspection those headlights look like they're not round. I change my bet from HID's to LED's to compete with Ford.

Was just going to say that they look very similiar to the Ford's LED instead of HIDs. I'd be willing to bet they are the LEDs as well. I'll still take a well done retrofit over LEDs, but hopefully the stock whatever they will be are better than the current halogens.

GM and Ford do this game where they slap the other's badge on test mules. Spy photographers obviously know better so I think it's just a bit of fun.

Theres also some changes coming for the silverado, looks like it will be getting led bar type dtrl's like the sierra has.

From what I've been reading these might be for 2017. I wonder if at the same time we will be seeing some drive train changes to meet CAFE standards of 28.8 MPG.

Hope the lights will fit the 14-16's. If they do I'll order me a pair.

Same, I may do a full swap of all changed body parts if I like them.

Is it me or do the new Sierra lights look Yukonish? & The Silvy lights look Sierraish?

New Yukon is sharp! Let's hope they get their styling from there.

I think if they change the lights and add some more technology I would probably upgrade from my 15 Denali. Any other changes that are rumored? Is the 10sp suppose to be ready by then?
