I am going to add puddle lights to my truck but I am unsure how to wire them up any suggestions I would like for them to light up at night with the dome light circuit. I have had these on my last couple rides and think they a slick. Here are some link with the lights. Anyone done these yet on a 2014+ Silverado?

Simple. There's a few threats in how to tap into the dome light, how ever to put those on the truck I believe you have to drill the door panel in order to attach it. To tap into the dome light I used the driver side a pillar or whatever is called, the piece that goes from the dash to the ceiling. In there after you pull the cap off you will see a bunch of wires. There's 2 solid grey wires, one thicker then the other I used the thicker, that is the dome light. I just use this because is to hard to be under the peddles trying to t tap anything.

You have installed them already ? I know I would have to drill the door panels to install. My only thing is I have to run wires to all 4 doors sounds like a pita. I was hoping the wiring may be there since I think the GMC have puddle lights I guess I will have to pull a door panel off and take a look. If not ill probe the large solid grey wire and check voltage sounds like it will be a afternoon project already ordered them so I'm committed. Have them on some of my other cars and always get a lot of compliments on them.

I haven't done it but I have looked into it. Not sure of the other doors but I know driver door has a small light inside the door handle you could possibly tap into that. It is always on tho until the truck is off. But I guess is ok cus when your driving the doors are closed so you don't see them

I should get them this week and I will try to get some photos and a write up how to install them.

I have one of these installed. I was unhappy with the result and did not install the other one. My truck is lifted so it dimmed the light when it hit the ground. Its much easier to wire than you think actually. I have a 2014 Silverado. I tapped into the wire the lights the interior door handle no problems. The other issue is the mounting. I drilled into the door panel underneath but really didn't like how it mounted. it works and is solid but because of the overall light was dim I didn't add anymore. I get a lot of compliments when people see it but its just ehh too me. My truck is victory red and I was able to find an all red chevy logo version.

Awesome I knew there was a easier way than the dome light I was looking at it the other day and thought about it a and was like shit this is going to be a pain with the dome light. I'll give it a try on the drivers door first and see how it looks. My truck is pretty stock height so hopefully it wont be too dim. I have had them on a few Caddies and my Audi's always get lots of compliments. If they suck I will only be out $20 some time and a few holes in my door panels on a $40K+ truck.

I would love to know the size of them when you get them. I was hoping they were a bit smaller. I had trouble deciding where exactly to drill the hole (as I didn't want it coming up into the door pocket. Would love to see the outcome. I bought mine from Mr Kustom (mrkustom.com)

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."
