17 Silverado LT. Anyone know if I can change out the LT head light cluster with LTZ?  LTZ are a bit different and have access to some take offs but not sure if wiring is different or if it’s plug and play.

There's a forum member here that makes a harness. Pgamboa. I was/am planning to swap to those, just having trouble finding any. They're so expensive!

If you have a 2016+ and get 2016+ LTZ Headlights, they will Plug right up, but you’ll get hyperflash on your turn signals.

The harness I make corrects that. It plugs in between your lights and will have a resistor on each side.

Looks like this.

Yes like everyone said. A lot of us have done this already.

Seriously.  I have been looking for a set for months.  I somehow managed to snag a used passenger side light at a great price but I'm striking out on the driver side.  What kills me is the used ones on eBay are priced higher than the NEW ones being sold by the online dealer storefronts.

And the ones on ebay are off wrecked trucks with scratches, broken tabs, cracks etc. I just can't justify almost 2k to replace perfectly good headlights just for the led blinker.

You have to just keep checking Ebay all the time.  I got my driver's side for $450 and then a couple of months later I got the passenger side for $575.  Both were brand new. Just have to keep looking. Also don't be afraid to contact the seller and make an offer, did that with both of mine, saved $100 on one and $75 on the other. Good luck!

The only thing I don't like about these lights is there's no way to replace the LED headlamp bulb if it fails. You need to change the whole headlight.  At least with the HID you can replace the bulbs if they go out.

What am I missing here... whats the difference between my LT's headlights and the LTZ?

LT headlights are HID, LTZ lights are LED.  Also LTZ has a switchback LED turn signal instead of the halogen turn on LT.  Here is a couple pics. LT is on top, LTZ in bottom.

I might be in the minority here but I don't really care for the styling of the LTZ tail lights.  I love the LTZ headlights.  I opted to upgrade my LT headlights to LTZ (that process is ongoing) rather than buy an LTZ truck with a bunch of other bells and whistles I didn't really want.

I'm very much interested in finding some LTZ headlights, or at least finding someone that is skilled at removing the amber lower lense from the LT headlights. The lighting is wonderful on the standard HID light, but I just don't like having that orange reflector. I've spent a fair a mount of time studying the trucks around me that I do and don't like, and this is the factor. 

 

I do believe GM wants around $800-900 per headlight, plus a core charge for the new ones, and when I spoke with them recently, they had a backorder with no ETA on one side. All the salvage parts I find have broken tabs or seem to be blatantly cosmetically flawed, and are nearly full price, and hundreds of miles from me. :( 

 

I might find some bravery in the near future, and try to tackle taking apart the LT headlights myself. I've helped a friend do it before, it wasn't so hard, but I worry about leaks afterward. 

 

Oh, and I love the LTZ LED taillights. I will for sure be getting those. They're much more reasonably priced and readily available. I wonder why?

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.

      Im a fan.  Simply moving the screen up helps the look of the interior.  I feel like GM dropped the ball on the current gen having the screen not at the same level as the top of the gauge cluster.  The GMCs look better with the vents above the screen to close that gap.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be.    As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

      Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies,    No SS???
