Overhead Console

[goeb34]

Rode in a 2018 2500hd last night and noticed that truck had an led reading light in the overhead console. My 2014 has a halogen light (so it seems) has anybody swapped to a newer body style o.c.? I think it looks cleaner imho, anybody that knows anything about it, any info would be appreciated!

I have the same one In my 2014, with home link added.

 

Ours are led lights that can’t be swapped out.

Well the ones in my truck are yellow, so i figured i could swap out the whole console, it looks to be the same size and everything and a buddy of mine said it should work so im just wanting a 2nd opinion

I may be incorrect but that may have been only on console trucks.  That light lights up the bin area in the center console as it's always on at night.  I don't see why it wouldn't work for you to install.  I know the consoles can get expensive depending on what's all included in them.  I've been thinking about trying to put in the SUV console with the curved mirror to see every one in the back seat but a couple hundred is the cheapest I've found it so far.  I have other things on to-do list first.

No worries there i have a denali so full console, just didnt know if the fitment would be exact and if anybody had any pointers about swapping it out

Did you add home link after you already purchased the truck?  Is that possible on the 2018's that don't have home link?

[goeb34]

I didnt add any of that, i enabled onstar cause i got 3 months free premium so thats it

 

Edit: it was already on the truck but not programmed to anything, i was gonna try to splice in a light bar to one of the switches

Home link has been added on previous years and I would imagine it can be done on 2018. I haven’t seen anything electrical differences for yet.

I considered this modification a few months ago but found a nice curved mirror on Amazon that suctions onto the windshield and sits just above the rear-view mirror.  I'll get a picture for you if interested.

Can you post a picture of what you have in your truck? Hard to believe your Denali didn't have it standard. I thought all K2's had led dome lights as well.

Definitely post one or PM it if you have one.  Thanks.

Phil, have you seen if there are any differences if the truck has the Snow Plow Package.  I know there is a relay to run the beacon lighting on the Snow Plow Package up there.  I was in a 2015 Denali 3500 with the Snow Plow Package and noticed it did not have HomeLink or sliding rear window.  I've noticed newer snow plow trucks still don't have the sliding rear window but I haven't been able to verified if they have HomeLink or not.  The HomeLink only require power and ground correct unless they changed it over the years so it don't see why it'd be hard to add it anyways, even with the Snow Plow Package unless I am missing something.
