I found a company that makes a bypass that only makes the Task Lights work while driving when you turn your brights on.

Boost automotive has a product that does have the mirror lights on with high beam but does not have a way to shut off and on.  also some do not like the T-tap connection and would rather use a diode method of this mod.

Right. That is what I plan to do. 1N4004 diodes. I download the wiring schematics from uplifter, just have to take the time to figure it out. Boost automotive has some YouTube videos that will help to.

I plan on making it so the fog lights and the mirror lights turn on with the brights. Just have not had time to look at what connections will need a 1-way resistor 

Any luck with that? I was going to just make my own harness, because $70 seemed like a lot for something that I had to Ttap into my $50k truck....

Does anybody know the part number for the light in the mirror I was driving down the highway and a rock hit the light and chipped the housing and it just looks bad with a big hole in the middle of the light and water is getting inside?? Part number??

Is there a work around to get the mirror lights to be turned on while the truck is in gear? 

Boostauto makes a harness for it. You can run them when you put the high beams on.

A lot late to the party, but 3 posts up, the one and done is asking for a part number???

There is a QR code right on it in plain site, how do you afford a new truck when you can not even figure that out🤔

Yes! This kit makes it so when you use you high beams both mirror lights come on also. https://boostautoparts.com/products/high-spot?utm_source=GM+2019%2B+High+Beam+to+Spot&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=YouTube

You end up finding your way around this? I see Boost’s product but can’t imagine $50 in actual parts. Looks like 2 connections between brown and grey BCM and a fused link and a relay are what they used.

I have a ‘21 rst and I have task lighting. But I do not have the mirrors. If I get a set of mirrors, will they work as they should since I have the rest of the task lights, or will other things need to be done as well. Thanks in advance

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
