Here they are, they measure about 27” across but I have a 3” lift so that will make them a little longer and a little dimmer on the ground. The pictures were taken in my garage, I have garage door win

Pretty sweet, just put mine in. Noticed that the stock lights have K2XX stickers on them. That might mean that 2014-2018 guys could use these logo ones too (if the aim is similar). Not sure if they are being sold that way or not. 
 

No nighttime pics yet, just instructions, invoice and side by side with stock on the left for anyone curious.

Looks good! Does it illuminate the ground and the area around the logo better than the stock lights? Did you get those through ShopChevyParts?

If you google the PN, 84408372...their store is the top hit with a 10% code. Best price I could find when I ordered ‘em last week.

 

All of the light is concentrated to the bowtie, so none of the ground around it really gets lit. I never really relied on the light from the originals but if you do, this mod ain’t for you.

The light output was so poor on my OEM puddle lamps that I didn’t even notice them, when I saw these lights were available I had to go and check to see if I even had puddle lamps as I was unsure if I did. I’m much happier with these lights, GM did well with them.

This looks great!! Are these the oem ones?? I love the blueish tint to the lighting.  What type or what did you do to get them to shine that color?

Well I'll be go to hell.  First I've ever seen them/that and I thought I knew everything ?.  I can't believe I never saw them or read about them despite all the magazines I subscribe to and forums I read.  You learn something new every day!  Thanks guys.

Are there any other options for this mod that just include a brighter light to illuminate more area?  I really don't care for the Bowtie, but like the idea of brighter light covering more space.

 

Thanks!

I purchased mine from shopchevyparts.com get the discount. They are for Chevy LTZ and High Country options or the top tier GMC truck brand. They are plug and play, pop out the OEM and insert these they are really bright and seeing the bowtie shining on the ground after dark when unlocking truck is sharp. I installed mine only small screw driver required very simple. They install in outside rear view mirrors.

Anyone install the GMC version and notice the passenger side being out of square with the truck?  My drivers side is nice and parallel, my passenger side is EXTREMELY unparallel to the truck.  I double checked installation, made sure the mirror was fully extended, I think I might have to exchange it!  I know the pavement is uneven in the photo but trust me, its bad.

 I have a 2015 Silverado. I have the circle cut out is in the bottom of my mirrors. But I have no existing puddle lights. Can I still buy them and just plug and play? If so, what is the part #?

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
