Yes it fits. If you have functional puddle lamps now, they are a direct drop on. Issues - the logo doesn’t project exactly parallel to the truck. They are slightly rotated due to how they plug in

When I was installing, it wasn't sitting flush and I could see where it was rubbing on that housing you dremeled.  This section in white is where I went with a utility knife and just shaved it at 45°,

I ordered mine on the 9th on Ebay: https://ebay.us/6caLs6 it's coming from GMParts Direct, currently going for $85. I got it today, so free expedited shipping was nice.

 

I haven't put them in yet, but I notice, per paperwork, the two colors for Chevrolet are Purple(DD) and Orange(PD).. but I got Purple and Yellow(unless I'm color blind), so I hope it's not a Chevy on one side and a Cadi on the other.. ??

**Update, they are both Chevy Logo.. :D **Second set of pic are after I notched the lamp insert so I can straighten them.

Nice! Can you see how they are not perfectly aligned on the ground?

Yessir, and I actually don’t mind it. They angle out toward the front. So it actually looks ok to me. I did have to notch the forward edge of the hole in the mirrors as it’s not a direct fit with the K2’s even w/o messing with the alignment. On the old puddle lights there is a snap tab that’s just a fin on the new one. So I cut a tiny spot to make room for the fin and it snapped in flush. Apologies I didn’t take pics of the old/new side by side before I put them in. [emoji2359]

A fellow fb member actually fixed the angle problem with a little dremel and sanding, I haven’t done it to mine but it’s fixable.48097a63221d1f3a3d1f6f2623e3e096.jpg

I just notched it where it clips and I shaved off an angle on the top so it didn't push up against me motor housing inside the mirror.

 

Shaved off a little on the corner that was running against the inside housing. I went along the whole top side corner.

Notch towards the front since you'll need to turn towards the front to make it straight.

Has anyone attempted to install these puddle lights on the tow mirrors without the puddle lamps from factory? (2015-2019 2500/3500)
It looks like it would be fairly simple to do & I believe that there is lots of room inside the mirror cap.

      Disable AFM for $0: The M5 Method for 6-Speed Trucks

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and sells plug-in AFM/DFM disablers.   Before you spend a dime with us — or with anyone — try the AFM disabler GM already built into your truck. It's the shifter, and it's free. ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip the M5 method if: Most of your miles are highway — M5 locks out 6th gear, so you cruise at higher RPM and burn more fuel You already know you'll forget — it only works if you do it every single drive Your lifters are already ticking — nothing that switches AFM off repairs existing damage You already run a tune or disabler — this would be doing the same job twice ✅ Worth trying if: You want AFM off today, for exactly $0 You want to test-drive V8-only life before buying anything Your driving is mostly town and short trips, where 6th gear barely matters Your truck is leased or under warranty and you won't touch the ECM — this is zero hardware, zero software 💡 The whole trick, in one paragraph Owners across GM forums keep reporting the same pattern: put the transmission in manual / range-select mode, pick M5 or lower, and AFM never activates — the truck stays in V8 the whole drive. Bump it up to M6 and V4 mode comes right back. Two of the cleaner threads on it are here and here. GM has never documented this behavior, so file it under "strong owner consensus," not gospel. The good news: it takes exactly one drive to verify on your own truck. Steps below. What "free" actually costs Effort, every drive. It's a routine, not a setting. Shift to M, tap up to 5, every time you get in. There is no set-and-forget here. 6th gear. When GM shipped trucks with AFM/DFM switched off during the 2021 chip shortage, its own estimate of the penalty was about 1 MPG — and those trucks kept every gear. In M5 you're also giving up overdrive, so expect the highway hit to be bigger than that. Patience. One Tahoe owner ran the L5 routine for two months, then got tired of it and bought a plug-in disabler — he had an extended warranty, so flashing a tune was off the table. That's not a knock on the method. That's just what month two feels like.   I put together the full instructions, limitations, and links to the original owner discussions here: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/how-to-disable-afm-for-free-the-m5-method

      Half of you don't need an AFM disabler. Take 30 seconds to find out which half you're in

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      Disclosure: BlueV8 is a Supporting Vendor and we sell AFM/DFM disablers. We wrote this because not every GM owner actually needs one. In some cases, regular maintenance, towing use, an existing tune, or simply using M5 makes another device unnecessary.   ⏱ The 10-second version 🚫 Skip it if… You keep the oil full and change it every ~5,000 miles. Your risk is already low. You're happy shifting into M5 every drive. That disables AFM for free. Your truck tows heavy most days. AFM barely runs under load. You already run a tune or delete kit. Done is done. It's already ticking or misfiring. You need a mechanic, not a plug-in. ✅ Worth it if… You bought it used and the oil history is a mystery. Checking the dipstick is… not your hobby. (No judgment.) You're a long-term keeper with lots of easy highway miles — exactly when AFM runs most. The V4 drone and shudder drive you nuts. You're under warranty, so a tune is off the table.   The full article includes the supporting GM bulletins and owner reports: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler

      Metal shavings on dipstick and filter

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      It`s magnetic so it`s not main or rod bearings. I would pop off a valve cover or 2 and take a good look at the rocker arms. See if you can see if any needle bearings are coming apart.

      Metal shavings on dipstick and filter

      By Clay LeBlanc · Posted

      Hey yall.   I have a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 2wd. I just did my own oil change (currently 132,000 miles) on the truck for the first time since I got it. It has always had routine maintenance done at the correct time. Never once had a check engine light, oil pressure light, or any light (except low fuel lol). Also never towed anything ever. It has been a daily driver for me.   I noticed the dipstick has metal shavings magnetized to the end of it. And even after wiping it and putting it back in like 12 times, it still pulls some out. The oil filter also has a good amount in it.  It has always ran perfect and still does. Never ever had a weird noise or knocking or ever ran rough. Almost too perfect lol. So this metal has really surprised me. I see some similar stories where people say this is normal wear, others say your engine is cooked. I know it’s hard to say for sure without seeing in person but just wanna see if anyone has had a similar experience at this mileage or any advice?   Thank you in advance.
