The plugs are not the same!! The 1500s seem to be a bit smaller. Still you can use the dummy plug provided that you have the hardware to swap plugs. Can anyone provide a pic or a pin out of their 1500 bed light plug for me so I can make this dream come true. Just got the harness for the 2500 and all thats dufferent is the plug size. I have the pins to swap plugs just need the correct pin out.

Anyone has the part number for the harness for a 2016 ? I looked up this part number and it says it won't work on a 2016

 

part #22878806

That part is for the 2500s which is an 8 pin connector. The 1500s use a 6 pin connector. I have yet to find only the harness for 1500s for sale. Cheapest kit I've seen so far was for $99. You can use the dummy plug and make your own harness which is the cheapest way to go. A few posts here will tell you what components you need. As far as I know, there is no "only" harness yet.

I mounted NiLight 3 piece LED strip lights under the bed rails and spliced into the cargo light switch/wires that powers the stock LED box lights in the bed. When I turn on the cargo light switch the LED strip lights and stock LED box lights flash 3 times and then turn off. No fuses popped and the cargo lights stayed on the entire time. I tried putting in a bigger fuse and still the same result. I also test the strip lights before install and they worked great, no flashing. My goal is to have the cargo lights, box lights and strip lights all be controlled by the cargo light switch on the dash AND have a switch in the bed. Not sure if that is even possible. Any ideas what is causing the lights to flash? Can I solve the flashing problem and have the lights controlled by 2 different switched with a diode or adding a relay?

Any help you could send my way would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Check this thread out, it's basically what you want to do. I did this and really like it.

These are the strips I bought and posted pictures of the light output.

New guy here but I followed the above thread and it worked well.  I did solder in a diode according to another thread on this forum just in case.

My truck has the Cargo w/ Reverse Diode mod done, but I'm going to add a proxy switch at the tailgate to keep the bed lights from coming on while in Reverse.

Hi all, I am looking for the OEM wire harness for a 2016 LT 2500 Silverado to allow me to add bed lights that run off the cargo switch in the cab. The best I could find was GM 23327843, so I ordered it and entered my VIN and got an email stating that part would not fit my vehicle.

 

Can anyone weigh in on this?
