2015 Silverado to 2016 Conversion!!!

[Dbeto54]

Damn!!!!! You did a great job... I'm not gonna lie.. I was really looking at the photos to see if it was just another truck.. but looks legit.

Thanks, I really wanted to have it looking as clean as factory. My friend did a great job on the paint also. Im really happy with the outcome.

Looks great... I will be doing the same to my 2014 sierra.. I am waiting on the fog lamps and a bit of time. Sierra upgrade to 2016 is less involved.... just bumper, grille, headlights,fog lights and radiator cover.

The taillights new are like $600 each, headlights for an LTZ about $800 each, for an LT about $600 each. Bumper $440, grill $600, lower valence with chrome insert adds up to about $450.

 

You saved a boatload if you did this with used parts.

 

I just wanted to do a simple LTZ swap on my truck and I was looking at over $1200 (excluding headlights).. I gave up.

 

Nice work! Now you STILL have a nicer truck than mine will ever be.

I just bought a 2016 LT Crew Cab. I too, thought all lighting was LED. When I saw the DRL come on LED, I was excited. Only to learn that the only LEDs in this trim level are the DRL and Fog. Turn signal, tail lights are incandescent. Would love to do this swap.

Nice conversion! I like the 2016s quite a bit though I do think your 15 had my favorite grill of the 14-15s. But still a nice change!

yeah it gets expensive if you go all new. Thanks I think just a colormatched will set your truck up. Its a nice color.

Dbeto54 - This is slick! I'm sure inquiring minds (including myself) will want to intel on what it took to get everything to work. I have a 2016 Crew Cab LT and didn't know there was a difference with the Tail Lights and Head Lights until it was too late! What was the wiring like to get this to all work like factory?

Any updates on this?? I'm sure everyone would like to see how this can be done............

Personally, I'd trade mine before doing this. It's like the guys who changed their front clips to 2500's or Escalades. Any worries you are creating a Frankenstein that you will never be able to trade or sell?
