2015 Silverado to 2016 Conversion!!!


Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share my project for those who might be interested on doing the conversion. Some might think is a waste and some might actually like it. every body has there own taste and gotta respect that. My truck started as a 2015 silverado black sport edition I think that's what's called. It was wrecked and I had to replace front end so why not upgrade while at it. Here is the result.

Dang I'd hate to see what the cost on this was!! Looks awesome though!!

Thanks, I bought the headlights and taillights really cheap from a local junk yard which were the most expensive parts from dealer ship. It was only about $1,500 more than I would of spend on the '15 front end, so I believe it wasnt that bad.

Damn how did you find heads and tails in a yard so quick?! That's pretty awesome then!!

Yeah got a family friend In the junk yard business. He was able to locate them for me. They werent perfect cosmetically talking but still functional.

I need a lot more pictures and info! What was the total cost? I was so pissed I didn't know about the 16's when I bought my 15 lol

 

Did you have to have your bcm programmed for the lights being that they have the leds for the drl?!

Thanks lol I couldnt find much info on how to do it so I kinda pull the trigger without knowing for sure if it was going to work. DRL just need a NC/NO relay that will switch between DRL and Low Beam mode. I will try to write down a "how to" as soon as I get some free time. Its not hard at all.

Since you have a 2016 I believe you'll only need the headlights and nothing else. The plug is the same maybe just messing with the last 2 wire will do the trick, but I believe the are plug and play. Will need to see a pic of an LT headlight connector to be 100% sure. Edited by Dbeto54
