Swapping 17 LT headlights to LTZ

[Graphite17]

Noobie here. I have a 2017 LT Z71 with the stock "LED"?with only 1 upper strip of the LEDS. The ltz has 2 strips an upper and a lower where mine is just upper LEDS and the lower is the orange turn signal. Has anyone swapped headlights from the LT to the LTZ ones? Curious as to how much it would cost

I have. Still in the process actually. I have a 2016, but it's the same for 2017. You won't need a new harness but you'll need to add resistors to prevent hyper flash. I built my own inline harnesses with resistors wired in. I didn't want to cut/slice into factory wiring. I bought Headlights from ebay. Was about $1500 for the red set. I removed the trim using the dental floss trick. They are getting painted as we speak. $80 to have them painted. Sold my stocks to offset the purchase. Hope this helps. I have extra materials for a couple more harnesses if you're interested.. PM me.

I have also upgraded my DL8 Mirrors to DL3, LT tail lights to LTZ, Auto Dim frameless rear view mirror, and heated Steering wheel. It's almost an LTZ. LOL

@pgamboa what resistors did u use.. and only for the turn signals for for the low beams too?

[pgamboa]

Front headlights uses 6 ohm for each side.

Rear Tail Lights need 3 ohm each side. 3 ohm 100 watt seem to perform better than 3 ohm 50 watt for the rears.

Resistors are tied into turn Signal and ground.
