Howdy gang...anxiously awaiting the delivery of my '22 2500HD.  

 

Do the LTZ trims come with the LED tail lights?  If so, has anyone re trofitted their LT models to have the LED ones?  My LT trim will be coming with the Z71 Sports Edition package.  

 

If anyone has done this conversion, where did you get the parts from?

 

Are the license plate lights LED?

 

Thanks everyone.  Have a great weekend.

Here is the detailed thread:  I went with replacing whole fixtures out to LED in both the front and tail lights.

Changing from halogen to LED headlights on LT, Custom, or WT trims - Page 6 - 2020+ Silverado HD & Sierra HD Mods - GM-Trucks.com

Lots of good reads there!  Thanks.  Alot of info on doing the fronts.  My truck is already equipped with the HIDs/LEDs up front.  Just want to change out the rears to LEDs.  I'll keep reading and get some ideas.

Thanks Kevin.

The license plate lights are not led.

 

Every bulb on a 21 Denali is led. Except for those two bulbs. I replaced them with I think a 193 or 194 led bulb.

 

The way the light fixture is angled up at a 45°, the leds are so bright, it washes out the tailgate camera at night, somewhat.

 

The washing out effect, isn't bad enough, for me to go back with incandescent bulbs. You can still hook up a trailer.

Is the truck you are ordering an LT or LTZ,  LTZs have both Upscale LEDs in the front and back.  The LTs do not on either side.   You can replace both the front and back with LEDs Upscale.  If you go thru the read (Link) it will walk you thru it.  all you really need is the Upscale lights them selves and the conversion cables.  The rest is plug and play.

 

Headlight Cable:

19-21 Silverado LED Headlight Harness – Gen5DIY

 

Tail Light Cable:

2019-2021 GM Truck LED Taillight Harness – Gen5DIY

 

The cables are the same for the 1500 and 2500 and the upscale tail lights are the same for the 1500 and 2500 as well.   You can get the cables from ebay or other venders, just trying to get you in the right direction.

 

good luck

Truck has the Z71 Sports Edition which comes with the front LED light set up...same set up as the LTZ trim levels.  So, only interested in doing the tail lights  :)

If your Vehicle is an LTZ, it should already have the Upscale tail lights.

It is the LT trim.  It has the Z71 Sports Edition package, which includes the front LED headlights.  

Interesting is that new to 2022, when you select the Sport Edition Package you get LED Headlights?  I just tested it on the site and it is so.

 

Wow, I am done for the day,  I learned something new.   I guess all you have to do is add in the rear Upscale lights.  The harness is mentioned above.  I would recommend getting the lights off Ebay.  From GM they as like $700 each.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for how they add LED lights to these trucks. Custom gets LED tail lights and LT can get LED headlights if you get the right package. If you want front and rear you have to go up to at least the LTZ trim. Maybe that's the point, it gets people to consider spending more for the higher trims/packages.

Yeah...confusing why the Custom gets them but the LT trim does not.

 

Do you know if the tail light housing is the same or is it different for the LEDs?

As in the shape/size of the tail lamps?  They are the same.

Cool.  Wasnt sure if the LED ones came with a specific housing and the halogens had their own specific housing.  But they are interchangable?

they are interchangeable but you need the conversion cables I mentioned above..   As a note the 1500 upscale tail lights (LED) fit the 2500 SWD truck as well.   

 

I have an LT and added both front and back upscale OEM LED lights to my vehicle.   The tail change out is pretty easy.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
