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.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
