When looking for 2016 headlights to possibly purchase to install on my 2015, I am seeing many headlights advertised as "GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI 2016 16 LH LED OEM HEADLIGHT LAMP ASSEMBLY 1424" or similar that have a chrome housing on the inside instead of black. I think i like them but i can't find a single pic on the internet with these exact lights in them. Does anyone know what model these actually come in? Or am I missing something?

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.

I noticed that also. I've only seen the chrome bezel lights in one truck and I'm fairly certain it wasn't a denail. It was that Hunter green looking color truck.

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

This is correct. Last I heard from Ofer was it may be possible to shut the DRL off with a time controlled relay. He was supposed to test and let me know. That was a month ago and I just emailed him to check for updates.

Well, after reading this thread, I took the plunge and bought a set of headlights for my Denali. I understand the repin and purchase of the connectors, but it's unclear wheather or not if I actually need the in-line resistors.

Just for the blinkers to prevent hyper flash. Same for the taillights if you do those. You will also need a capacitor on the headlight wires.

Are the harnesses to make the 2016 lights work with a 2014 SLT available? If so I'm interested in purchasing the harness. Also, will the harness work with the LED headlights our only the HID ones? Also, has any progress been made in getting the DRL to go out when the turn signal is on?

is that just low beams or low beams and fog lights?

 

Also, would it be possible to see a night picture comparing the low beams and high beams against the wall?

 

Also, anyone that had HID's in the stock housings that have gone to this setup. How do they compare? The headlights are literally the thing I hate the most about my 2014...

Correct, low beams only, no fog lights. The 16 SLT lights are simply amazing.

Yes, there is a harness to make the 2016 SLT lights work in a 2014 SLT. Yes the SLT lights are the LED lights. I haven't made any progress with the DRL shutting off.

Would something like this not work for what we are trying to accomplish?

 

 

 

 

I feel like the issue with this might be when you turn your headlights on the DRL go to half power and don't turn off with the turn signal.

I bought the retrofitsource switchback drivers which would be pretty much whats in that video but they never worked.

So does this conversion work or does it work with issues? Was thinking of doing this mod but for nearly 2 grand when it's all said and done they would need to work like factory for me to make the plunge.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
