How has the tint held up for you all?  Just finding this and thinking about it, and curious on the long term since most of you have had it done for a year or so now.

No issues, been over a year since i put it on.

archie64ss  "No. You will have to wait for the aftermarket to make fender flares without the lights."  Can't you just get 1500 arch molding and replace it to go with out?    I am thinking of adding smoked turn signals to mine, as such want to install 2500 arch moldings.

Do you guys know how to get rid of the amber parking signal light on the headlight? I swapped out the orange reflectors with klearz I just want the orange light gone.
 

or maybe locate the wire and yank it out.

What I have found about the roof marker lights, is that they aren't normally on the trucks with California emissions. I don't quite get the relation, but a quick search of trucks on lots on Cali vs other states pretty much proves it. Can a buyer order a GMC with the California emissions, but it's actually going to a dealer in another state?

There is a law or regulation in CA prohibiting light arrangements that look like an emergency vehicle if you are not such a vehicle. Someone made a determination that roof marker lights on pickups violate that rule. So all pickups sold new in CA don’t have roof marker lights. 
 

However, this mandatory delete option is not associated with the CA emissions configuration. I live in WA and new cars and trucks here are required to meet CA emissions but they have the marker lights.

Interesting. Thanks for the information about that. That makes some sense, if anything from CA can possibly make sense! LOL! I've since purchased a GMC with all the lights. Actually got used to them before the purchase, as they nor the fender lights are as bad in person as they initially appeared. Given the choice, however, I'd skip both if I could. Some people like them, especially the roof markers. I'm more of a take or leave it regarding the. Looks good at night, I will say. The best part is they are black with orange LED, versus those huge orange blobs of trucks from previous years.

 

Hope you are enjoying your new truck.

    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage. 
    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
