What do you need to swap halogen lights to led lights on a 2021 1500 Silverado, beside the headlight? The electricals I would assume are different. Please help.

Electrical is the same.  Look for a bulb with a low profile rear design or remote transfo=emery’s/coloring fins., there is not much room in the head light buckets.

Thanks Descartian for the quick response! When you say low profile, would it be something like these?

Yes those would work.  Their stated lumen output is 8000 which means they’re probably less.  Try and find a set with 12,000 or more lumens if you can.

Changing to LED lights on my 2020 Silverado Custom Double Cab was my first modification.  The improvement was well worth the effort and the cost of LED lights in comparison to other mods was relatively affordable.  I purchased my lights from Amazon.  The high beams are Sirius branded and the low beams are CZ bulbs.  They fit nicely under the factory dust covers and the improvement in night time visibility is well worth the effort.  The low beams were relatively simple to install from the top, but the high beams were a challenge because of the longer reach needed to access them.  I found the easiest way to install the high beams was to pull the front wheels and partially undo the front fender liners to provide direct access.  My only question was whether or not the factory dust covers provided enough air space for the LED lights to run efficiently without overheating, and so far the lights have performed wonderfully without any indication of overheating.
