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 #?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
