zmnypit- Do you think you could do a step by step on how to swap connectors and do a re-pin to get rid of the unneccesary harness? Exactly what you need, what goes where, and any pictures you might have to help?

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.

On page 10 you can see what wires go where. I added a capacitor between the yellow and black wire. And a hyperflash resistor between the turnsignal wire and black wire. If I can find time to take it back apart for a few hrs I dont mind. Work has been wide open so I haven't had much free time.

Yeah I saw the pictures you put on page 10, and I saw the link you put to the new connectors you used. I'm just not overly experienced when it comes to electrical, but I'm definitely capable if I have good direction. If you were able to do that for me/anyone else who wants to do this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The grounds are good and everything works with no issues. The driver is looking for individual circuits, one pos/neg. I can hook up an led to each side and since its using its on ground it works perfectly. One cuts off the other comes on and so forth.

 

Have you got this fixed? if not send me an e-mail at [email protected] with a way to get a hold of you and we can do a test on how to help.

I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the 2016 headlights in a 2015 truck other than the DRLs not turning off when you signal. Short question I guess being "will I just be able to buy the wire harness from Gen5 and the 2016 headlights and it work with the exception of the DRLs not turning off when signaling?" I have a 2015 All Terrain SLT and want the 2016 SLT headlights.

 

Thanks!

You should be good with just new 2016 style connectors ( ebay link in prev posts ) and a repin of your existing headlight wiring....and a set of new headlights of course.

Great! Thanks ricker6869 for the reply. Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by "repin."

Repin meaning to take the new connectors you suggested buying and cut the old off the factory harness and replace with new 2016 connectors so the headlight will adapt. Think I got it. What's with the Gen5 adapter harness then-not needed?

Sierra X,

Since you have existing AT/SLT led lighting, you will not need a Gen5 harness. You will need new 2016 style connectors (see ebay link in thread) to fit the new 2016 headlights. After you buy the new style connectors, you can take apart your 2015 headlight connectors and repin (re-arrange) the wiring into the new connector like Zmnypit did in post #135 in this thread (see his picture). Reassemble and you should be done...Note, the issue with the DRL not cutting out when signaling is still being sorted out.

I have a 2015 SLE Crew Cab...what would I need to do the upgrade? Do I need the harness as mines a SLE. I need brighter lights being in the sticks and all the deer around here.

Has anything been done about using the repin method and getting the turn signals to work correctly? At this point even if you have an 14/15 SLT is it worth it to just pay for the harness and have them working correctly? Nothings been said here for a bit.

I don't think the turn signals work correctly with the harness either. The harness is required for sle models that didn't have dedicated drl

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
