Add factory roof lights?

Limelight · February 12, 2020

Hey there!'

Only one option I wished my 2500 came with- the $55 factory roof clearance lights. Any way to add these? I wonder if the wiring is in place...

I just couldn't wait to order it exact- but it's bothering me a little now, lol

Thanks.

I agree, same scenario here, anyone have an answer, guess I will ask the dealer at my first service...

I added them to my 2014 Duramax. On that truck, there was something like 14 different roof wiring harnesses for all of the various options. I am sure the wiring is not just there for you to plug into. I ordered a harness that had the roof marker light option, stripped just that section of the harness out, and ran it along side my existing roof harness. Drilling and caulking was another story, but I did not have any problems in the six years I had that truck. I do know the 2015-current lights are more difficult to drill and mount as they use square holes - the 2014 and prior was simple round holes I did with a drill bit. Good luck - it is not easy and will cost you a lot more than $55!

Could never figure why, for $55, dealers don’t include these on the trucks. They are standard with DRW but not SRW. Some include them with the slow plow prep; but, because they are so inexpensive, I wish they were included on more dealer stock orders.

Wishing I didn't have the cool looking lights on my truck every time I go thru the car wash.

I am still trying to find out if it is truly plug-Play.

Can someone please be the guinea pig and tackle this project haha

I wanted to put them on my '17, but found it was way more difficult then it needs to be with the stock parts. Found a solar recharging unit, but mines parked in a garage a lot, a lot a lot. So no go for the solar, so I'm ok with a no clearance light truck.

I am going to do it, not sure if I will call it a ginnie pig but I am still waiting on parts. What I Don't know is, On the harness I ordered, where does it plug in to. I saw an option harness for the roof console that reference the roof litghts. If I have to order that and just plug in their that would be great. On the install, there are plenty of videos showing the cutting part that is the scariest part. We just need to confirm the harness.
