are you sure he isn't including labor and installation? They are selling new on Ebay for about $1400-1500

and that's new - you can probably find some used ones for a little less...

Sorry I'm a little late, I've been in the Caribbean for a little over a week and just getting around to posting pictures. I know there was a lot of fuss of whether or not the SLT lights would so I bit

Well, I finally got around to installing my 16-17 LED headlights. A huge thanks goes out to @zmnypit for fabricating the adapter harnesses.

No, it doesn't include labor. I was planning on doing the install myself, it looks relatively easy. Thanks for the link.

unfortunately everyone wants the LED ones from the SLT or the Denali - if you wanted the 2016 HID, they are going for about $600-800 a set...

I bought those, they came in damaged from shipping and the seller accepted a return. One headlight was almost perfect and the other I assumed was damaged during shipping, had a crack on the side of the lense and the tab sticking off the bottom was broken off. They may pop back up on there.

 

So now I'm on the hunt for another set. If I were to go the dealer route gmpartsdirect.com has them around 850/each(794 + 50 core).

good to know! It sounds like finding a good intact new set is not easy -definitely will keep an eye out...

I know the 2016 Denali headlights can be purchased on eBay for around $500 each, but those usually have broken mounting points and that doesn't interest me. Have any of you guys gone to a dealership and bought these and if so, what are the part #'s and what did you pay?

 

The only reason I ask is a friend of mine is a mechanic at a GMC dealership and he can buy stuff for 15% above cost. He got me a quote and it came back at $1942.51 which includes sales tax. This seems ridiculously high to me.

That sounds like 15% off of list price which is like 1100 a piece, The cheapest I found them brand new is 750 no core, at least the website didn't show a core charge

The price of $1942.51 did include a core charge of $50 per unit.

Holy OEM prices Batman! And I thought I took my SLT style lights in an SLE LED headlamps seriously. I was able to do mine for about $1000+shipping+customs. Got me beat for the price tag to fix those halogens that is for sure.

I have a 2015 Sierra SLE, but because it has the All Terrain package it came stock with SLT headlamps.

Are you referring to the HID's of the 2016 Sierra 1500 with he C shaped LED DRL's?

Do you have the all terrian logo and pattern dash? And they were only Bucket seat right? I went for a bench. Our trucks are nearly I identical options but I only got the regular flat black dash as is no Z71 dash in GMC .... apparently.

I have the All Terrain logo and pattern on the dash, floor mounted center console and contrast stitching on the dash and seats, but it's light gray thread instead of red like the SLT's. All Terrain badging on the exterior, but it can e with 18" wheels instead of 20".

I have the contrast stitching as well. Probably just part of the HOU interior which we probably both have. But Z71 bagdes and my wheels were $950 option.

Didn't realize it till now but this is where I ordered my lights through last Thursday. Supposed to come in today IIRC.

 

I ask some questions before ordering and found it funny they didn't know where their inventory came from. Said they were not a wrecking yard so I assumed maybe they bought new trucks and dismantled to used the drivetrain in something like Zamboni's. But they didn't know.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
