Hi guys,  hopefully someone out there in GM world can help me.  I'm installing an aftermarket running board lights which has courtesy lights and turn signal lights.  I looked every where to get some concrete answer where i can tap into the OEM parking lights wire, courtesy light wire, and turn signal wire.  Now, I realize i can run them into the hood and into each headlamp but I much rather keep the connections neat inside the cab.  I looked at the GMUPFitter manual and quite honestly it might as well be in chinese to me.  If any one has any info with pictures broken down Barney style I would appreciate it.  Also if you recommend not tapping into any wire coming from the BCM then where would be the best place to tap into?  Thanks in advance to everyone who is willing to help!   @pgamboa any suggestions?

Wires are at bcm and also in front door kick panels. If you are handy with a meter you can just meter in the door harness and find color in kick panel trim. Use floor grommets and you are all set.

Is the wiring different on 4wd than 2wd for the parking lights and courtesy lights? Do they make a 2wd Z71 in 2018? Just curious because of the title, that seems like a bunch of Autozone information...

So just to update, pgamboa is the man.  He helped me out a lot.  No need to touch the BCM.  Pretty much remove the connection from the front door jambs by first removing the rubber boot from the outside.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
