Off topic, Any progress on DRL shutoff?

I haven't messed with it because I'm still looking for a passenger side in good shape for a decent price. 700 is about the cheapest. I paid 500 for the drivers side in excellent condition. I think more people know you can swap them so now there is more demand for them. They used to pop up on ebay pretty often but nothing lately. I thought about buying a chrome one and opening it up and painting the chrome black to match but don't really want to go down that road so I scour the internet daily looking for a good deal on another light.

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.

This is what I meant this is what not working :)

This is probably due to your truck being an SLE and not having the original DRL wire.

 

 

Is this how you installed the harness?

Yes.....the bezel that holds the factor c-shape led lens....its like a thinner shroud

 

You can also get hairline fractures on the inside of the clear lense when pulling them apart.

Would cutting them open be a better idea you think?

That is the route to go in my opinion

Hey, I've read through most of this thread and understand that zmnypit is the go to guy for harnesses. I have a 2015 Sierra Denali 1500 and want to swap both the headlights and taillights to the 2016 version. Someone hit my right side tail light today so I want to take this opportunity to swap to the new ones. What's the process involved in swapping the headlights and taillights? Is it a direct swap for fitment on both and then you just add harnesses from zmnypit?

 

Also most likely will be grabbing those XB fogs so thank you for that discount code as well.

Yes they are direct fit. You have to take the grill and a few other pieces off the front to get to all the screws for the headlights. The backs are straight forward. The new headlights are slightly deeper than the old lights but they all fit nicely. The harness makes it all plug and play...

Thank you. I just picked up a set of taillights from local Canadian sellers and I got both headlight and taillight harnesses from zmnypit so I should be doing them soon.

 

 

Does anyone have the part numbers for the 2016 SLT headlights? The two part numbers from the original post both show up as discontinued when I search them online for some reason. Just want to make sure I'm looking for the right headlight assemblies.

I don't I'm sorry. I can tell you it's worth the upgrade for the headlights anyway. I think they look better on the early model trucks than the new ones...

According to GMPartsGiant, here is what they show:

Replaced with 84046788

Good Luck!

I made some progress on the DRL cutoff but ran into a question of the way the lights work at night. i'll try and break down the answer I'm looking for.

 

Factory function-

known: During the day the DRL circuit is energized only when the truck is in drive. With the truck in drive DRL's on and turn signal on, the DRL shuts off.

known: Day or night with Truck in park and headlights or park lamps on. The parking light circuit is energized for the C's and stay lit even with the turn signal on, I have found videos showing this functionality.

Unknown: Day or night with the Truck in drive and headlights or park lights on. Does the park circuit in the C cut off when the turn signal is on or stay lit?

 

I believe it stays illuminated and only the DRL cut's off with the turn signals. Can anyone verify this?

I believe when your driving down the road during the day when the turn signal is on the bottom half of the "C" cuts out. At night everything stays on...

 

That's the way the factory 2016+ lights work as I understand it...

Everytime I see a 16+ it kills me.... How much do these headlights normally run for? What about the adapter?

 

I have a 15 SLT

 

Been honestly debating on trading in my truck because of the lights.

Headlights vary. I'd say $500 per side on the low end. The adaptor of line $75 from zmnypit.

On ebay I paid 500 and 535. The left side had some scratches but I was able to polish those out with some elbow grease and re coat the head light with UV protectent from sylvania. They look good as new when re finished. Looking more in the 750 plus per side range if you want them in perfect condition.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

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

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
