Thanks for your contribution Clue.  Those Wmart LEDs are certainly an option, but I really don't want to deal with that coiled cable and control box, as I would never need infinite adjustability.  Ideally, I'd like to find a smaller say 4 to 6 LED strip that's 6000K and fairly dim to match to OEM. I'm waiting to see what Minmax reports back before pulling the trigger on a few options from Amazon to test.  Thx!

I went out on a limb on this, I didn’t want to brake the piggy bank to then find out this didn’t work so I went the cheapest way possible $9 leds and a paper clip. So now that I know it works in the next few weeks I’ll upgrade to something better and more OEM style

Now any of you know how to add lights to both sun visors? or at least the passenger side for the wife 

[MrMagloo]

I have not tackled this, and its a little lower on the list, but I think I just saw a post that the refreshes do have a two lead connector glued to the roof under the headliner for the lighted sunvisors.

[Minmax]

I can confirm that there is a connector on each side of the headliner. I installed lighted visors from an AT4 about 3 weeks after receiving my truck. Aside from messing with connectors a little, that was pretty much plug and play. The lighting modules do get a little confused with it at times though, as the lighted visors kind of “fade” on. So, since my truck should NOT have them, it sometimes hiccups when they’re opened and the lights take longer to turn on, but they always work and come on. That was a good modification, along with the gentex rear view mirror that auto dims. I believe I installed that within 3 days of ownership.

[Minmax]

It should also be noted that the lighted visors I got I BELIEVE came out of a 2019 AT4. The connectors in the roof did not match the connectors on the visors, so I went through all the different connectors and ordered a pigtail harness for both sides so I only had to modify the visors, and not hack and mangle the truck. They are perfectly color matched and look fantastic. Apologies if the pic is upside down, it keeps reverting it to upside down no matter if I post it right side up OR upside down. 

part numbers: 13584278 (connectors)

84637506 and 84637521 for visors.

 

There may be updated parts for 2023 lighted visors that are the correct connector and may work better, but at the time, I didn’t have the patience to wait around.

Where in the headliner are these plugs located? I will be doing this asap since my wife always complains 

[Minmax]

Obviously, make sure you have them before diving in head first and getting everything, but they should be there as GM loves leaving remnants of higher trim options buried in their wire harnesses as it’s cheaper. Remove the A-pillar trim, and remove the visor off the same side. I believe it’s a 10mm for the A-pillar, and like a torx 15 or 20 for the three screws on the visor. Then untuck the headliner from that corner from the door weatherstrip and you should see a taped and/or glued up 2 pin connector hanging around up there within about 6 inches of the hole in the headliner where the visor base went through it.

Which sun visors should I get that’s just plug and play? I really don’t want to be splicing wires. If you have a company or a link from where I can get them I’ll appreciate it. Thanks in advance Minmax

Ok, I went out and tested on my 2022 refresh Sierra Elevation in response to Cluemaster and Low Ufo's post from 2/15 that BCM (K9) connector X1 (black) pin 1 is not occupied, and is indeed where you want to wire into for footwell lighting. As Cluemaster noted, it will turn on and off with the interior lighting (including from the all on/off switch in the overhead lighting module). I tested it with just a small wire jammed in there for the time being and grounded it out to the nuts on the door jamb. Per the GM upfitters manual, the wiring to properly install this permanently would be GM part number 19370262. This is a 5 pack of pinned wires that will plug right in and be locked in place. Find a decent ground and you should be in business. I have only tested 2 of my four LED strips in it so far, as most of the parts from what I thought was a dead upgrade have been buried somewhere in parts bins, so I guess I will be finding all of those this weekend. Also, should be noted that the best pricing I could find on these wires (as of today 10/17/2023) was from eBay from Everett Chevy Buick GMC. 

 

As a quick heads up, I placed the order for the PN 19370262 from Everett, and found out after the fact, it was for ONE of the 5 Leads that are supposed to come with that PN package.  Most of the other Vendors are charging ~$41.xx for all 5 so this $28 for one lead seems odd.  Always worth having a back up in the event something breaks.  Imho, use one of the other vendors.

[Minmax]

Yeah, I had the same situation with me and cancelled my order with them. I found them at a local dealer. The list price of that one little piece of wire is $67. They sold it to me for $27. I grabbed two. Already installed one, so now I have one extra. I too was puzzled by the “5 for around $50” and a single for around $30. Either way. That portion is behind me and I have one extra wire now.

As for which ones you want without having to convert wiring. I don’t know, and couldn’t guarantee. What I would do, is go onto something like CarGurus, and look up a 2022 refresh or 2023 AT4 or Denali trim with the same interior color as yours. The VINs are listed on that site. Take that VIN, call in to your local dealer and say you need visors for said VIN, and get that part number.

Man at this point I’m not gonna do this honestly it doesn’t bother me. As for my wife oh well for her I ordered on Amazon this very small 1-1/2” and thin led light that comes with 3M tape that’s rechargeable to stick right above passenger sun visor that should do the job

[Minmax]

Hahahaha!!!! My wife would have never even noticed. To be honest, I checked everything right when I went to go get the vehicle, I basically hunted around the country to find what I wanted, and drove 4 hours to go get mine. I got in and was like “no vanity mirror lights? No auto up window on the pass side?? No auto dimming mirror??? No auto fold mirrors???? No footwell lighting?!?!?” I said “screw it, I’ll figure it out, gimme the truck” and here we are. On another ridiculous first world annoyance finally tackled. The auto up is not a feasible fix, and boost auto makes folding mirrors, but right NOW you lose 360 camera. So, I’ll stick with what I got.

On my 2023 sierra elevation I was able to find the matching driver mirror for the passenger side so now both my mirrors have the small little blind spot mirror on the corners

I come from owning nothing but infinity and Lexus cars, I traded my 2021 Lexus is350 f sport for this truck. I don’t regret it but DAMN!!! For the price there’s thing that should just come standard in this truck. But this is my first truck ever I’m testing waters that’s why I leased it, but my next one I will get it with all the bells and whistles
