I had the 20" Baja Designs S8 kit installed:

Also did the Baja Designs squadron pro pillar lights:

I paid to have everything installed, so I can't speak to the installation per se, but everything fits perfect.  I do know that the grill light mounting kit won't work for the LTZ or high country grill, as another user experienced, but worked perfect in my Trail Boss.

 

I bought the switches and plate from https://billetautomotivebuttons.com/ and choose the colored LED buttons that light up when pressed.

I installed the Baja Design 20" bar on Monday. It's a fairly simple install as they send the brackets and the electrical cable from battery to dash switch.

 

You can watch a couple videos on YouTube to learn how to get the grill off. But be warned you don't take the grill all the way off, you tilt the top forward so you can reach in and loosen the 4 bolts that hold the mounts on. They slide into a space at the bottom of the grill, so the grill needs to be on.

 

I took the switches off the wires, taped them to a wire snake and pushed them thru a rubber "nipple" that Chevy puts on each side of the firewall for future wire runs. You need to cut the tip of the nipple off to thread the snake/wire thru. It was pretty tight so I squirted some silicon spray on it, then it went in pretty easy. It comes out in the cab above the gas pedal. 

 

I have finished with the install of the switches, because I don't like the ones Baja Design includes. They don't match anything in the truck. I'll wait to find better switches that look more "stock". 

 

Here's a photo of the hi beams, then the LED bar:

All good! Weird it's showing 749 for me looking at the link swiftks posted. Assuming it's the same one?

It's the same. I purchased it at Battle Born Offroad. They had a lower price + a store discount.

 

If you want to purchase thru Baja Design, just call them and they'll pretty much give you a 10% discount.

 

Here's a photo of the box & light, then another photo of the switches I don't like.

2019 Sierra Denali 30 inch straight single stack Black Oak tight fit but I’m very happy with how it worked out. I had the 40 or 42 inch curved  but just could not get it to fit.

Hello all, new to the site so if this has been answered I apologize.  I purchased a 2021 AT4 1500 a few months back and have been looking at LED lights for the grill and wanted a 30" bar, love this install!  Do you have any pix of the mounting and brackets you picked up from Depot?  Of all things I am a service manager for a Ford store but we also own a GMC/Chevy store, figured I'd go to the dark side for a while, love the truck, just needs more lights.  When I had my F-250's it was easy but not a lot of room to play here.  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.
