Mine is a 2019. The lighted emblem (GM Part # 84741557) works for both 2019 & 2020 year models. Personally confirmed.

Yes, basically the harness has a dual ended pigtail... Unplug headlight, plug in one end of the pigtail into the headlight plug, then plug the end you removed from the headlight into the other end of the pigtail. Super simple. Here are a couple of photos of it at night (not mine)

Thank you for the after pictures and the install write-up.  I was wondering how they'd look and I was worried they might look cheesy, but after seeing your photos, I think they look sharp!

Just did the install. Took about 15-20 minutes. A few tips: 1. I would recommend routing the wire BEFORE installing the emblem. Would make plugging the pigtail into the emblem much easier! 2

Parts guy talked with GM and they stated the front camera wiring is different on the 2019 so harness that comes with the emblem won't work. Do any of you that have done this on a 2019 have the front camera?

The front camera is not wired to the headlights are they? 
 

I have the camera for lane assist, but mine is a 20.. the headlight harness is its own. I mention the headlight harness because that’s what it plugs into. 
 

edit: you can also cut the harness short, it  only has a red/black wire to power it and wire directly into a power source/switch.

I'm hoping to get an answer too before I buy one. I really love the way they look. Seems strange that the camera would make any difference but that's what GM said and everywhere I look to buy one they only list it as fitting a 2020 and newer.

Is the curve on this the same curvature of the 2018 1500 emblem? I grinded down my 2018 emblem and used double sided automotive tape to affix to a mesh grill which works great (pictured). Thinking of doing the same thing with this, but since it's for the 2019/20, not sure if the curve will be the same after grinding down the back. Also guessing I will have to cut into the mesh grill a little to get an opening large enough for the wiring harness.

This illuminated emblem looks ridiculously good!  I wish somebody offered one for the 14-18 model year trucks.  I'd love to add this to my '17.

I don't have mine installed yet, but it's the same part number as was posted on the 1st page of this post...

I purchased this emblem and installed it on my 2019 Denali ultimate.  It has the front camera and the wiring harness that comes with the emblem has nothing to do with the camera, so I don't know what the parts guy was talking about.  Have had it installed for about 6 months and no issues, no condensation either like I have seen some post about.

Installed mine. Super simple install. You do bugger up your old emblem if you don't have a plastic flat thin blade tool. Another note as an FYI, the existing chrome around the emblem will now be a smoky grey. Due to the clear for the lighting over the black base. I really like it on my satin steel elevation.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
